Bath Oliver Biscuits.

The large arrowroot biscuits you used to buy in pubs ( my dog used to eat these)

Petite Beurre biscuits ( I think that is how you spell them.)

Everlasting strips from the sweet shop

the old fashioned ironmongers where you could find anything.

Saturday Morning Kids pictures ( showing my age 6d in old money, and a few pence for sweets)

Jubblies


Beer lollies


Cider lollies


Alley Gobs


Captain Hurricane getting into a 'raging fury' and bending and rending pieces of enemy hardware with his bare hands.


'Maggot' Malone. Cockney batman/first mate to the above. "Cor, chase me backwards up Big Ben", that's what he once said. Obviously not realising that Big Ben refers to the bell and not the tower. Naive or lazy ill-informed f@cker?

I bet Captain Hurricane would have had an opihion on the matter. A robust one I'm sure.


Tom Sharpe's ability to write anything funny - since Wilt.


OK then, The Wilt Alternative.


Gary Glitter records on pub juke boxes.


The Wimpy bar in Brixton. It's the Plan B club now and that's fine of course, but it doesn't do me much good when I fancy a cheap burger and chips that would be served on a plate with cutlery of metal and was brought to me at my table by friendly waiters tricked out in bow ties 'n' weskits.

Oh, but never mind me, I'm just being silly.

Blimey H'oochie, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, looks like Tom lost the will to live after your damning critique.

Is this in anyway linked to your psychic music divining business?

Do you take requests?

Don't supose you could put in a bad word against Jilly Cooper?...

Cripes, didn't think he'd take it so much to heart.

Seriously though I'm sorry he's no longer with us.


Just re-bought Indecent Exposure and Riotous Assembly from a charity shop over the weekend, funny, mad and crude satires of apartheid era South Africa.

    • I would like to recommend Aaron, who has just finished 5 days plastering work in my house. He is professional , polite, tidy, punctual and reliable. He did a fantastic job, a good price and a top quality finish. Highly recommended! Aaron Manser 07773 410661
    • Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display. 
    • Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?
    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
