I did say that I did not know that Fr. Alban McCoy had been tipped for Loidensis and that that See has been vacant for far too long since its previous incumbent went looking for an icerink to skate on in Felix Roma.JARayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138004129894177863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-60974419603804077832014-08-10T17:50:04.293+01:002014-08-10T17:50:04.293+01:00When is he going to open up Grot shop or the equiv...When is he going to open up Grot shop or the equivalent though Jadis, in which the Dr Snurds made a mint?<br /><br />Will he have 3 different coloured telephones which he can answer "Hello, Thompson on green"!blondpidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631604905862504882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-27786367306830995012014-08-10T15:30:33.543+01:002014-08-10T15:30:33.543+01:00Thanks, Jadis, that's a most illuminating inte...Thanks, Jadis, that's a most illuminating interpretation of the career of our hero.Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357168852208499013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-87314095940699277592014-08-10T15:26:37.402+01:002014-08-10T15:26:37.402+01:00Life imitates art.

In the "Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" the protagonist is trapped in the sugary hell-hole of "Sunshine Desserts" (no mention of the prevalence of custard in the workplace, but I think we can draw our own conclusions) and when he reaches tipping point he disgorges a tankerload of fruit compote into the river near to where CJason is fishing for subscribers. "Tony" and "David" are dead ringers for Tim Stanley and Will Heaven, and Christina Odone is certainly based on the laid back Elizabeth.<br /><br />Perrin visualises his mother-in-law as a hippopotamus (Surely a forerunner of the role of Gladys Mills), and has a boring left-wing bespectacled son-in-law (Chivers). Rather than a collection of Stephen Hough CDs of teeth being pulled ), Perrin has a collection of artwork by his dentist.<br /><br />All I can say is that if he tires of the Spectator, I hope he finally cops off with the lovely Joan, and follows her to her hair salon on the cobbles of Coronation Street, and lives happily and well coiffed ever after.Jadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574649057747694825noreply@blogger.com
