zotzToday's paper has Christopher Brookmyre's comments on yesterday's article about the oil-rig hotel, a notion which underlay his 1998 novel "One fine day in the middle of the night" (which had a brief mention of a Norwegian mercenary called Roland. References to Uncle Warren are fairly frequent in Brookmyre books).
It was, I believed, a ridiculously far-fetched concept, drawing knowingly upon the implausible excesses of the 80s Hollywood action movie. Anything Joel Silver could do, I could do dafter. But not quite as daft as Mohamed Al Fayed, apparently, who this week has announced he will be undertaking the venture for real.
