My first thoughts we
"Who the **** is Will Self ?",

and on checking via Google, that became:
"Who the **** cares what he thinks about anything?".

Just another minor so-called celebrity - entitled to his own opinions,
but nothing else. People on uk.r probably know more about railways
than he does.


He's quite a well known author, but I'm not aware that he's ever shown any
interest in railway before. I would think just everyone here knows more
about railways than he does, so I wonder why he got a VIP tour of the
Crossrail construction site? I wonder if he's writing a book on Crossrail,
or something like that.



His Wikipedia entry says he writes about urbanity. That's an obvious
starting point, I think about town living too, but I don't give it
that name.

And what about his obsession with the penis? I might think of drilling
machines, but not in those terms! And what does his wife think of this
figure of speech?
