i know about his thoughts but i always thought betrand russell was a fat bloke. Not as fat as russell grant but thats the nearest fat russell i can think of.
there is a great opposing monologues (thats converstion for everyone except howard) between him and Frederick Copleston, you can iplayer it even i bet. i dont really want to start dicussions about it but its very good (coplestone more that bertrand). i always liked the philosophy bits of my course because they are about big ideas and big concepts. i always lost marks in the maths parts because i would like look at a number but forget its sign. as well i think its why im best at directional trading, because i am good at having big thoughts and making bets but bad at the details.
anyway one last thing I dont believe in angels but on multiple times I tried to set up traps to catch the tooth fairy. me and bert are same sort of bloke.
