Finally, someone I've read.

Harold Pinter has won the Nobel Prize for Literature

I've always enjoyed his plays with their uniquely English sense of menace.

I understand his acceptance speech went like this:

PINTER: Thank (pause) you (longer pause) Academy. This means

A PAUSE OF FIVE DAYS DURING WHICH EVERYONE PACKS UP AND GOES HOME

PINTER: (CONT) so much - where's everybody (pause) gone?
