Of course that is grossly ignorant Pinky. But the whippets, flat caps and diet of tripe is right though, isn't it?

If you like Ellroy his Brit equivant David Peace is worth a try, the Red Ridings quartet have the same gritty dense style about them that Ellroy has. I'm currently reading The Damned United by him. On a lighter note have if you haven't read any Donald Westlake, then I highly recommend him. The Dortmunder series of crime capers is as good as it gets, funny well plotted with great characters. Also Lawrence Block, the 'Burglar' series of comic novels are an absolute treat, and the Matt Scudder private investigator novels are fine indeed.

Bloke in dry cleaners and woman dropping clothes off? Good enough for me. I'm hunting for those Xmas vouchers as I speak.

Charles Pooter is alive and well and living in The Spoof.

I find humility an attractive quality. Also to quote Bob Dylan, "Can she cook and sew, make flowers grow? Can she understand my pain"? That'd do me.

Surely that's utopian thinking?

Bugger, when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was alerting us to a new Fall single. Downcast man gives cornflakes thousand yard stare-aaah.

Moke please don't take this amiss, but it's Purdy. I think it's a reference to the London gunsmiths, Purdy. Makes sense doesn't it? Sorry, as you were.

Well if it's all about reminiscence. I'll have Elsie Tanner out of Coronation Street. Fine character, and also had a better real name than her. Pat Phoenix, married to Tony Blair's father-in-law. Class.

Not cheering. I'm not that vain. Frankly I'm not that worth it. But I do allow the voices in my head degrees of applause. Hand clappping-wise that is. On a scale of one to ten, one would be, forearms resting on thighs, with upper fingers tapping together, the sort of clapping that is actually rude. Really, better you sucked your thumbs. Ten is arms above your head, smashing your hands together, over and over until you have no feeling left in them. A casual glance at your nails and you see they're starting to turn somewhat blue. But you just don't care and keep clapping anyway. For me a two and a half would be when unexpectedly, Channel Five show a good episode of 'Columbo' on a Monday afternoon off. Especially that one with Johnny Cash, or the one where that obvious looking 'baddy smoothy bloke' drowned that woman who I think appeared on 'Moonlighting', though I could be wrong. So you see I have high standards. A ten applause can only be applied, if, when Mott The Hoople appear on stage on 1/10/2009 at The Hammersmith Apollo they open with the opening lines of 'American Pie' and then BLAST into 'The Golden Age Of Rock 'n' Roll'. You can insert another ten, here of course. You'd be wrong of course. And the volume of the smattering of 'one' would be as two shy mice exchanging wedding vows. In sign language.
