(Sorry Karin, I had a dull day yesterday so have had to dip into my archives...).
What's not to like about a bright girl in a brighter dufflecoat solving etymological puzzles for the OED before tottering off for an all-night poker game? Surely the perfect woman ? Fair enough, I doubt she can make a great beetroot chutney, but she's made a million dollars playing poker for crissakes.
Her book "For Richer For Poorer" is not only the best book about poker ever written (sorry Mr Alvarez), but also one of the only autobiographies I've actually managed to read. And in one sitting. Great Christmas present for anyone remotely interested in gambling...
I like Giles as well, so perhaps I should really be praising the late Alan Coren and wife..
