Literary Merit[edit]

I took out the line "of little literary merit", as this is not a particularly distinguishing feature when compared to much of the best-seller list.

As to whether or not he did sleep with her, that's uncertain...Our lad was, probably still is, quite the fantasist & prone to invent stuff when the truth is perfectly good enough.... but faking an alibi for the wrong date is priceless!

Back to the Lords[edit]

In July 2003 he was released on probation, after serving half of his sentence and went straight back to the House of Lords at Parliament

I'm removing the last clause as I think it's nonsense. He went home then saw his probation officer and then went to penthouse flat on the Thames. He is still elligible to sit in the House of Lords, but AFAIK he didn't go there yesterday. Mintguy

Secret Diary[edit]

"The personal secretary had apparently kept a secret dairy of Archer's movements." Heh. *edited* -CamTarn

Hyperlink for "A Matter Of Honour" doesn't go anywhere?[edit]

The hyperlink for "A Matter Of Honour" doesn't link to a summary of that book, like most of the other links in the bibliography. Instead, it links to the biography, which is where it started out from. Is there no summary article for "A Matter Of Honour"? --tharkun860 26 Jan, 2006

Correct title[edit]

JHA's correct title is Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare of Mark in the County of Somerset. I have changed the introduction.

Jeffery Archer Mayor Clip[edit]

Does anyone have a link to the clip where jeffrey says 'Oh, yes, the BBC. You're very fair. "What do you think of Jeffrey Archer, Mr Crick?" Clip, clip clip. Just you wait until I'm Mayor of London. Then you'll see!'
