A wanker AND a pansy apparently.

Brilliant
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Oooh, very good. There's something of a Rula Lenska about her, a lady who caused consternation in the trouser department during her Rock Follies televisual triumph.

I always imagine Rigsby as Fred Colon for some reason. I have to say Night Watch is among the best books ever written for a multitude of reasons.
