Thanks for the link. And, of course the tune sounds familiar. Throughout our lives we must come across so many tunes whose names we never know or where they originate.

Just a 'Cock and Bull' story! BTW has anyone else seen the film 'A Cock and Bull Story'? I saw it when it came out and vaguely recall liking it but I can't remember too much about it. I'll have to watch it again now that I've got to know Shandy, Toby et al. first-hand.

I'm gonna watch it this weekend, Jonathan!

Following up on that: I enjoyed the film a lot.

I really loved Tristram Shandy and tried to write a proper review, but was very disappointed in myself for I thought it didn't do the book justice. I came close to deleting it and then realized I failed in reviewing a book in which a man fails to write his autobiography; thought that was kind of funny so I decided to keep it: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I was going to write a review where I didn't actually get to the point where I'd started the book...but I didn't even get that far...

I may write a review but usually if I don't so it more or less straight away then it just slips away from me.

Renato, read your review in a month's time and you'll see that it's perfectly ok.

Thanks, Jonathan!

And that's a great idea you had for your review. I wish you'd pursue it!
