Hi Detters... greetings from the Good Yarn. We are all having a great laugh about you.

Hi Detters... greetings from the Good Yarn. We are all having a great laugh about you right now.


The memoirs are progressing well - six chapters written, sixteen more sketched; 39,000 words and counting. And a fairly reasonable internet publishing deal with the stipulation that it will have to be posthumous, given that a lot of it will be disobliging to people of various kinds, and that I wish to place myself and my family beyond the reach of the libel laws. Not that I plan to die any time soon, unless God has other ideas.

Ha! Ha! Ha! This has given me the biggest laugh I've had since I put salt in the Head's sugar bowl at the staff Christmas dinner in 1980!

What in God's name is an 'internet publishing deal'?

'… with the stipulation that it will have to be posthumous'

Yep, that sounds about right. Run for cover fat man. Once a bottlejob always a bottlejob.

All the lads here are splitting their sides laughing.

"Another Jameson's please barman."
