Obviously that one flew over my head. Just looked the book up and it would seem it's right up my Fleet Street and so shall be investing in a copy as soon as.
Oh! If you insist Ted. Towards the end of the morning and waiting impatiently for the pubs to open one would reach for the sanctuary of a bottle of Ding Dong to satiate one's thirst before heading off to The Stab In The Back for a pint or seven at lunchtime. It's a wonder really how we ever got any work done.
My dear chap when I first started working in what was then termed "Fleet Street" many moons ago (probably before you were born, you young skallywag) if you didn't have a bottle of whisky on your desk by 11.30am you were considered a bit of a girlie. Take a tip from an old lush and secrete a bottle of what you fancy in your draw for moments like these and top up your coffee with a shot or two. That'll ease the boredom of a quite Friday that drags and set you up for a Friday evening's carousing when it's time to leave. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse.

But looking at his picture there he does resemble Christopher Lee when he starred in the Hammer horrors playing Count Dracula. I'm also glad to see that he has more grey hair than I do. Hoorah!

I used to drool over Mr > Praed I hate to shatter any illusions but "when I was younger so much younger than today" I had a girlfriend who said she was first attracted to me because she felt I looked like Michael Praed. Of course I've turned into Count Dracula now and it's more than likely that poor Michael has gone the same way.
Because if you were so proud of them what would be the point in you deleting them. As you've just said:- "you stand by every word." Obviously you haven't. Not so fragrant after all are we.
