Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I wish the pubs were opened again, almost a year now, I miss the company more than anything else.
I have plenty of new material to try out on the other old lads in the local, I’ll add your Goons one to that list Fruity.
Old Freddy who’s in his late 60’s married a woman half his age, I’ll ask him does his new wife ever open the door in her bra, no that wouldn’t work, that’s a double door job, might try knickers instead, probably get a black eye, but I’ll risk it for a laugh.
I loved the Goons too, Prince Charlie is a great fan of them I believe, he has all the old scripts, I think Sellers or Milligan presented them to him years ago.

I’m not fond of that expression “it’s a no brainer”. clever folks use it a lot, never fools like me, I’m low in brain cells and have to be thrifty with the use of same. they say brain cells are like special offers in Lidi, once they’re gone they’re gone.
Are the no brainers really saying “Look at me, i’m so clever I don’t even need a brain”?
……………………
When a brain cell splits, does it’s bum show? as like PJ. Proby, who remembers him I wonder, PJaysus Proby as me older brother used to call him, never a dull moment when PJ was around, he seemed to be always in the news back then, but I’ll always remember him for the pants splitting episode on stage.
The Beatles brought him back with them from Texas in 1964 and he stayed in the UK, the girls went wild about him everywhere he appeared.
I liked the fellow when I was young, he was different to the other popsters at the time, but popsters are like posters, they come and go.
I see he’s still doing singing engagements.
I think he looks a bit like the Wolfman in this photo, the 1941 version with that actor who used to hang from the ceiling at Christmas time--Long Chaney. Wonder has he got the sign of the pentagram?
"Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
And the autumn moon is bright."
We used to have a government minister over here in the 80’s, Brendan Howlin was his name, they couldn’t find a ministry to suit his talents so they made him the official minister for Werewolfs. (only pulling yer leg Brendan)
