Looks like I’m writing another book. Eek!

Bring back the Paper Clip guy.

If all goes according to plan I’ll be on Talk Radio Europe about 3.30 UK time, talking about Chris Rea.

Gift of immortality not available on standard package.

Round the Horne was really ahead of its time. There were some genius gags.
