Abstract
Some time ago, I was in a beer-cellar in Prague with some academics from Charles University. After three Pilsners — or was it four? — one of them said regretfully, ‘ no thanks: my doctor’s very firm’. And another man added (I should have mentioned, apologetically, that these were all men), ‘we’ve been meeting here regularly for twenty years. Then, we only talked about women. Ten years later, it was money. Nowadays, all we ever talk about is illness.’
