I'm crutchety. But that's because I'm working in the seventh circle of hell, and the hideous office I'm working in has a million trip hazards for someone on crutches. But tonight I will cheer up at Lucky Sevens and play an Ellie Greenwich tune and raise a pint or two in loving memory.

It can help you land the job

Er, Mick - on this thread: Funny though. Edited again to say that wasn't meant to be mean to BBW, rather to point out the bleeding obvious to MM.

When I got mine through, I found nothing worked quite as well as several whiskies and a spliff. However I was a student at the time and suspect my prescription's not that conducive to having to work in the morning.

Yeah, Jah's the man. Thanks though. All the ingredients for a perfect evening - whisky, curry and Iain Banks. Actually, may change this evening's plans...

Keef man, if you're going to Scotland, it's WHISKY - no e, that's fighting talk that is. I'm torn about Scotland: it gave me pneumonia but it also gave me fine single malts, and it is kind of beautiful. I'm very excited about this book though - Sean my dear, you got a copy going for a lend?

Legal, I think it's a fantastic and entirely admirable goal. I firmly believe that everyone should be having marvellous guilt-free sex. I really don't want to rain on your parade, but I do have a couple of questions. You touched on something in your last post, about relationships - sometimes problems in sex can be not simply about the mechanics of knowing where everything is (especially given that everyone is different and enjoys different things), but within relationships, or even an individual's deep-seated personal issues. Do you think you'd be able to handle those? Also not sure what the going rate is for a qualified therapist, but ?100 / hour does seem a bit steep... As I say, I really don't want to be negative - I think it's a glorious vocation. Have you considered getting involved with British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy ?

BBW, a phrase wouldn't require a full stop; only a sentence would.

What Sean said

Booo, really? I don't fancy any of them.

Oh rilly? Au contraire, I would suggest that it's the fellas who find the jam a little too fruity for their palate... Stupid myth propagated by squeamish small boys

Brendan, it may be too much to get into, but I'm intrigued. And I can assure you that I really don't miss the point of manners. I don't associate manners exclusively with giving someone a seat: that was an, albeit glib, shorthand for deference to the older and wiser. My point there being that I think to qualify as older and wiser, you've got to have been around a certain length of time, and the person in question hasn't. My other point being that I think everyone deserves to benefit from good manners, not just those that have "experience and standing".

Ahh Brendan, see where you're coming fron, but think I still disagree in this context. It's a bit nebulous, but I'm not sure at which point I give someone respect for being older than me (a year, 10 years, when their hair turns grey?) Guess for me it's more a generational thing, if pushed I suppose I see it as over 60s if I had to try to put an age to it, and I'm not sure it would apply to a clearly virile man in the prime of his life with beautiful companions on his arm (although an entirely other sort of respect due for that!) Anyway, potato potahto, think we agree that people should all show a little more respect.

Or the other, par-boiled one.

To be honest, I don't really hold with that point in this context. Because let's face it, if Jah is turning up with two beautiful women on his arm, it's not really as though he needs anyone to offer him a seat. More a case of showing everyone a bit of respect and common courtesy. Save it for the ring boys. We've enough with those blow-in types fighting on the Lane as it is...

Danny Dyer?

Ooh Ted, I've just come over all unnecessary: if he called me Bollyknickers I'm sure I would die with pleasure on the spot. My gay childhood hairdresser looked uncannily like a besilked, besunbedded, behighlighted Ray. He left me for Joan Rivers.

Ray Winstone - absolutely delicious - dulwichmum is a lady of exquisite tastes. Also reckon he could handle himself in this post-Bourne era of Bond punching people to death.

Well I'm a massive loser, but I was watching Celebrity Masterchef a month or so back, and one of their tasks was to feed a hungry film crew. It was Ashes to Ashes. And it looked for all the world like that lot. And Gene Hunt was there. Are they making a third series? Tell me that they are and that the redoubtable Philip Glennister's going to be in the vicinity...

I'd like to say a massive thanks to all the seated commuters who assiduously avoided my eye as I wobbled about on my crutches on the train this morning. And to the kind woman who pushed past me to get into the first class carriage without so much as an "excuse me", nearly knocking me over with the door on her way, a million thanks. Genuine thanks though to a nice man at the station at the other end who offered to help me up the stairs. Don't know what that might have entailed (slinging me over his shoulder maybe?) but it was very sweet and cheered me up immensely. And thanks also to the lovely woman in Camden All Saints who tried in vain to find me a wide legged trouser / full length dress. But no thanks to Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl - I feel lied to - fashion on crutches is hard.

I'll tell you what I'm NOT listening to: Nor am I listening to this ever again. The gods are conspiring against me.

Good man. Now stay there until you've learnt your lesson.

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
