Oh! What A Lovely War!

There is wine in the cellar and candlesticks on the table, and father has shaved and changed but who is coming for dinner?

Guten morgen mein freund, I write this while watching wee Georgie Fame (why does he talk like an American preacher mater?) on a Friday night, while you will be reading this on Monday morn. It is like the works of young Wells and his time contraption is it not sir?

Hopefully by this time your landlady will have allowed you to watch the box of delights and you will have an opinion on such things. What did you think young egg? I must say I was disappointed by my lady’s undressing and showing of her bits and bobs (how could she, SOB!). I hope you looked away sir. (Anyway does not your Mrs. Landlady partake of horseplay with a gentleman friend on a Saturday and leave you alone to view the colours and the shapes.)

Julian Lennon! Pshaw!

Silly pooh, I do not mean to copy said Donwood, I mean seeing such interesting work opens my eyes to possibilities of creativity and makes me want to get mein arse into gear. Silly pooh...silly pooh.

I have just discovered a new artiste called Sam Hiti , I bought a strip/book of his called Tiempos Finales (the edges were not of goodley quality but I can not find it anywhere else, SOB!). While I remember there is a book on Master Christopher Ware in the Waterstones (By the by did you notice I sent some of my own doodles for your perusal the other day? I realise I need to funnel my pen shapes into one distinctive style like those mentioned above, instead of buzzing about like a tartish bumblebee).

Finking about it talk of tales in tales, etc, is perhaps putting the omelette before the hen, altough I like the idea of a little edition rather like the beautiful little things you see in the Travelling Man, to mein eyes small is less pretencious (but again we’ll see what happens). You read my mind with your ideas of consciousness and jugglement into a narrative, you are wise in your generation. Perhaps start with an idea and go from there and see where we take it, I like the idea of creating our own logic in our own distinctive world.

Shall we regroup next weekend for meetings of minds?

Pity Master Dinsdale he now has no chance of a new series (unless he teams up with Mr. Sheila Handcock for a series calld Henpecked perhaps). Will the murder of the Bolam stem Bewes’ lascivious urgings.

I must go now for Freddy Forsyth is awaiting me to stuff his gigantic lugubrious face into a green velvet jacket so he can go and shoot some illegal elephants, mine is a hard life.

Your own

P.S. Did you hear Jim Broadbent is appearing in the Theatre of Blood?
