Very interesting. I read something on a blog last night that mirrored some of what was said in this article. Link. I still don't understand why some people read this rot. One day the world will wake up and realise we've given a free stage for these clowns to abuse the written word. I'm all for people reading what they like, this being a democracy and all, what I hate is that some of these idiots climb higher than they should have ever been allowed. Is it luck? Did they sleep with someone in publishing? How do I get to where they are? Do I want to be there?

I wonder if any readers are interested in these naval gazing debates among authors and critics? I doubt it. The readership knows what it likes to read.

And your excuse? a pun on navel oranges, orange being the former colour associated with jealousy prior to it becoming green with envy etc. As in Shakespeare's "The count is neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor well; but civil count, civil as an orange," being a juicy play on the word Seville where most oranges were imported from in Jacobean days (from "Much ado About Nothing").

Ah - got it, now. Actually, that's really interesting. Thought at first it might be a sad reflection on the fact the RN now has so few ships their main battle plan is giving any potential enemy a hard stare.
