Don’t read this

If, like the late Lord Beaverbrook, you believe that anything which cannot be put into two sentences is not worth attending to, I’ll keep this simple.

Bon voyage.

Part Two. But not for you

I thought you loathed the very idea of sea cruises and whimsical blogs like this?

Plus you’re easily bored and have a very short attention span.

Have I twisted your arm?

Am I holding a gun to your head?

Did anybody invite you to read this rubbish?

So go away.

Part Three. And this is me

I wish you’d stop following me around.

I’ve been told that people either really love my blogs, or really hate them.

If you’re one of the latter, why are you bothering?

I’ve got lots of friends who read me every week. Well, at least two.

I don’t encourage casual acquaintances.

So go and take a fly/drive holiday.

Or a week in the country.

I won’t mind.

See ya.

Part Four. Please leave by the door

Still with me?

Part Five. Saints alive!

Gotya! Sucker.

    I saw Pete and Dud with Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller in their comedy review, Beyond the Fringe, at the Fortune theatre in London in the early 1960s, which was absolutely brilliant. I then met Pete, just the once, when I was the doorman for the first Buster Keaton Festival in Britain – at the Academy Cinema in London’s Oxford Street. He was queueing up with his girlfriend and I explained that the queue was so malleable I could ask them to queue across Oxford Street (and stop the traffic) and they would probably do it without question. Never did get round to it, but it crossed my mind more than once! Cook was a great satirist and he and Dud were a marvellous alternative comedy duo.
