I’ve had one of those France v Brazil moments. Both are great footballing nations and when they play each other I don’t mind who wins. But as the game goes on, I do start to mind that someone will lose. Can’t there be an eternal penalty shootout?
Well, for France, substitute Philip Pullman; and for Brazil, Bobby Seagull. I admire them both. Who doesn’t? Pullman is a superb writer who has inspired children and adults
