By my reckoning, if you want to order a book for us to dispatch before Christmas, you have seven days to do so.
Next Friday at 3.30 is the cut-off for us to dispatch orders on the Monday, which SHOULD arrive on Christmas Eve.
So, no going home just yet, you need to order some books first.

Lidl has put Toy Banks in stores where you can donate a gift for a child who wouldn’t otherwise have one on Christmas Day.
Must be unopened and dropped off by 15th. Wonderful thing to do if you can (and there’s loads of cheap but great toy deals online still). www.lidl.co.uk/c/christmas-...

Last Christmas, I gave you Descartes.
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give you some Aristotle.

The Matthew effect (or cumulative advantage) describes the tendency of people who already have money or status to accrue yet more money or status. A poetic German phrase that sums up the concept is der Teufel scheißt immer auf den größten Haufen. It means "the Devil always shits on the largest pile"
