Mr. E.V. Lambert of Homeleigh, The Burrows, Oswestly, has presented us with a poser. We do not know which bush he is behind, but we can soon find out. Yes, it was the middle one. ---

It makes me sick. I mean, as soon as I’d made ‘Midnight Cowboy’ with the vicar as Ratso Rizzo, John Schlesinger rushes out his version, and gets it premiered while mine’s still at the chemist’s. ---

Well, for a start, at the office where I work I can be sitting at my desk all day and the others totally ignore me. At home, even though we are in the same room, my wife does not speak to me for hours, people pass me by in the street without a glance in my direction, and I can walk into a room without… ---

The mosquito’s a clever little bastard. You can track him for days and days until you really get to know him like a friend. He knows you’re there, and you know he’s there. It’s a game of wits.
