"I would have been in awe of Johnson. I know he would have seen me as a bloke who was there to clean the toilets, yet there is something about Boswell's portrayal of him that makes me wonder to what extent people put up with him.

What an arse." — Jun 14, 2026 08:48AM

after four I'm under my host.”
