The Unfortunates changed my life in a medium-sized kind of way, but notwithstanding that it’s really brilliant. I’d vote for it for more or less any year, except maybe ‘74.

Ooh. I thought Le Guin was going to take this. Much as I like Vonnegut I'm a tad disappointed.

Yes, very. I guess I should have voted twice.

I'm intrigued by what's coming up in '78 that Tim is so passionate about, but I guess I can wait a few more polls to find out.

it's actually the Panini sticker book for the Argentina World Cup

Yeah that’s why I mixed it up with 1974 but that one was West Germany of course.

(it's kind of odd because Iran, Peru, Hungary, Tunisia, Scotland even, all get their own pages, whilst England gets 4 stickers - Clements, Brooking, Hughes, Keegan)

England didn’t make it to that World Cup, probs had something to do with it.
