[edit] Re: edit to Trivia - burqa

Given it was for his wife, I think it is safe to assume that Marr was referring to women's burqas rather than men's burkas. Also see [1], where it is spelt "burqa". Soobrickay 16:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Surely we can find a better photo of a well-renowned British journalist, than a blurry picture of him drinking a cup of coffee? --Immure 12:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Is the screenshot I uploaded as a replacement to that image any better? Wikiwoohoo 12:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only War and Peace

On Start the Week it often seems the only book he has read is War and Peace, fifteen times or not. Why are journalists so rarely genuinely cultured? All is second hand opinion Pliny 14:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it's just possible he's read a few more books than that, given that he chaired the judging panel for the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2001. (Have a look at his article on the death of the novel.) Speaking of the Samuel Johnson Prize, should that fact go in the main section or in Trivia? Tobelia 08:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
