A Clubman's Notes
The Society of Other Men
Welcome to Part Two of Three Men on the Bummel, our springtime audio adventure in Tales for Our Time. I thank you for all your kind words about this choice for our seventieth monthly yarn. John Wilson, a First Week Founding Member of The Mark Steyn Club, writes: Thank you, Mark! This really is a treat for our 8th year together. In tonight's episode of Jerome K Jerome's whimsical sequel to his best-loved book, our hero puts into operation his cunning scheme to bunk off with the chaps to the Continent for a month: I opened the ball with Ethelbertha that same evening. I commenced by being purposely a little irritable. My idea was that Ethelbertha would remark upon this. I should admit it, and account for it by over brain pressure. This would ...
A Clubman's Notes
Kind of a Bummel
Welcome to the seventieth audio entertainment in our series Tales for Our Time. That's right: our seventieth. Never thought these capers would prove that popular, but it seems they do, and month by month we've built a spectacular archive that runs the gamut from A to Z ...well, not quite, but certainly A to W - Jane Austen to P G Wodehouse. As for our seventieth adventure, well, it's our second foray into the oeuvre of Jerome K Jerome. Back in 2019, I serialised Jerome's most famous book, Three Men in a Boat, which remains one of our most popular selections with listeners. The sequel isn't quite as famous, but it has all the key features of the original: the same trio of chaps, endless digressions, and great comic set-pieces. Three Men on ...
Steyn's Song of the Week
O Canada
Tomorrow, in the first of several elections across His Majesty's dominions this coming week, Canadians go to the polls to decide between a government led by a central banker of no fixed abode or a viral apple-muncher. Incredibly, fortysomething per cent of my compatriots seem inclined to reward the Liberal Party of Canada for their stewardship of the last decade with another four years. I feel in a somewhat elegaic mood for my country. So herewith a meditation on its (current) national anthem, as adapted from an essay written for the deranged Dominion's sesquicentennial in 2017: ~A few years ago, coming back from a family trip to eastern Quebec, we passed through the small town of Kamouraska. I'd read and enjoyed the eponymous novel by ...
On the Town
Wink and a Smile
In this week's edition, we run the gamut from the McGuire Sisters to Elvis Presley via a spot of what Daffy Duck would call "pronoun trouble", a doubly smiling Sinatra, a cavalcade of Non-Stop Number Ones, and Mark's memories of Wink Martindale...
