You might, in your morning trawl through the online newspapers, enjoy this column in the London Daily Telegraph by Bill Deedes.

If you do, please give a passing thought to the fact that Bill–now Lord–Deedes is 93 years old. He was actually the model for a character in one of Evelyn Waugh’s early novels. Those 93 years have, furthermore, by no means–by no means–been marked by a conspicuous absence of distilled liquor and cured tobacco leaf (Silk Cut, as I recall).

I wonder how many of us Corner bloggers will still be opinionating at age 93.
