Liberal England reports his Lordship is restored to good health and writing his diary again.

As usual, some rather good snippets.

Quite the saddest event of the year so far has been the ending of the engagement between the delightful Sian Lloyd and our own Lembit Öpik. The Member for Montgomery, you will have read, has instead taken up with one of the Cheeky Girls, though I am not convinced that even he could say which one with any confidence. One must be wary of continually harking back to the ‘Good Old Days’, but I have to say that I cannot recall having trouble of this sort with Clement Davies and the Beverley Sisters.

Although you’d have thought that someone with such an attention to detail as to include the umlaut on Öpik would remember the circumflex in Siân.
