{\bf Introduction}

Fifteen years ago, I had my fifteen minutes of fame (in fact less than three minutes) when I participated in the BBC documentary [C] and uttered
the words in the title. I had the minority view, and I was asked to participate mainly for {\it comic relief}, but I really meant these words.

My aversion to everything infinite started much earlier, and for many years I was comfortable enough with the `smallest infinity', $\aleph_0$,
that of the natural numbers. Already as a student I disliked the next-in-line, the infinity of the real numbers.
