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.

    • Hi .. I’ve still got the  bike lock 😀
    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
