    Similar look from Nigel Hawthorne in the main Guildford post office. He was at the local theatre. Shorter than I expected.

    You & me both. . It's just not been the same since Walter Gabriel, Tom Forest, Mrs P. and Dan & Doris were written out.

    Nott the Defence Secretary: the twat who was lucky the Latin American Meat Packing Glitterati launched their attack just before he and The Great She Elephant would have cut the navy thus preventing the recovery of The Falkland Islands and South Georgia.

    The Great She Elephant was surprised at how long it took to sail to the Falklands.

    The only honourable man was Carington who resigned.
