We will be there, Dick always gives us an excellent night at Maidenhead. I may even ask him about the song "The Girls From Gloucestershire" again I was positive it was him that sang it in about 1990 or so.

The character of Josef Švejk is a development of this theme. Through possibly-feigned idiocy or incompetence he repeatedly manages to frustrate military authority and expose its stupidity in a form of passive resistance: the reader is left unclear, however, as to whether Švejk is genuinely incompetent, or acting quite deliberately with dumb insolence. These absurd events reach a climax when Švejk, wearing a Russian uniform, is mistakenly taken prisoner by his own troops.
Murray,Dick is an abbreviation of Richard.
