I think it a 'joke' by the man I pay to create my website.

There's so much to tell you, especially about David Dickinson's crotch.<BR/><BR/>Craig, very kind of you to say so. A 'masterclass'. I like the sound of that. Of course, I'm not sure about the word 'parody'. Parody of what? My own life? This is just the diary of an ordinary man but with many celebrity friends. I think of it as the blog you'd have got if James Boswell and Samuel Johnson inhabited a single body and had their own teatime slot on Channel 4.Uncle Dick Madeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124053234469634414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888062989539166264.post-77123703462033092142007-12-09T22:38:00.000+00:002007-12-09T22:38:00.000+00:00I find it absolutely bizarre that nobody has disco...I find it absolutely bizarre that nobody has discovered you yet 'Richard'.

The only thing you’d remember about that fight is counting the seconds. But when I turned to your blog this afternoon, I found that further analysis reinforced my conviction that your particular type of humour deserves serious attention, but that - in view of the sensitivities arising from your celebrity status - there is no such thing as a gratuitous remark. <BR/><BR/><B><I>The three women looked at me and then burst into laughter.</I></B><BR/><BR/>That was, in fact, my first indication that some double-crossing was in progress and that the situation was going pearshape. How did this happen? That is the problem with derision, once you've experienced it, it's so much harder to get back on top. They are taking liberties, and you bear the brunt. <BR/><BR/><B><I>I put toe to wife who woke with a snort.</I></B><BR/><BR/>Now that’s real class! It's not just that it's superior - it's so much superior. I personally approve of this, because here is marital affection as nature intended; lean, muscular and brawny. By retaining the initiative, you make it difficult for anyone to distinguish what they are actually intended to criticize. (Except for the Missus, of course). You see, a publishing deal for comedy is not like winning literary prizes. It’s a bit like working on the hydrogen bomb. In the first you’ve got to be deadly, in the second you need connections. How they differentiate that from being a jackass, I can't say, but the Man Booker usually makes an excellent case study in this brand of suicide literature.<BR/> <BR/>Be that as it may, I think I have a solution. Truth to tell, I believe I may assert that in the not-too-distant future the <I>Richard Mandeley Appreciation Society</I> (RMAS) will receive a feedback that will inevitably make the rest of the bloggers break out in a cold sweat. <BR/><BR/>For this purpose, here is a number of questions you will be required to answer. And I would just like to say, try and give as honest an account of each subject as you can: <BR/><BR/>1.) are Bryan Appleyard and Bill Oddie about to get engaged?<BR/><BR/>2.) What exactly did you mean when you were overheard saying to Elberry: “I get plenty of it and can supply it for you?”<BR/><BR/>3.) Have you ever been convicted for stalking The Honourable Nigel Havers?<BR/><BR/>4.) Have you ever heard voices urging you to run for post of <I>Vollsachverständiger für Konspirazionstheorie?</I><BR/> <BR/>5.) Is it true, to the best of your knowledge, that Jeremy Clarkson was seen out dining with a man wearing a skirt while claiming he was AA Gill. Or that the Daily Mail thought it was so good they wanted it done again? And what do you imagine Stephen Fry thinks about that? I certainly do not trust the manhood of either. In fact, I rang Jeremy and tried to hide my disappointment, but he suggested, against my better knowledge, that he might just appear on this blog. <BR/><BR/>What good is the word of a man with a predilection for skirts? <BR/><BR/><BR/>P.S.: All readers of this blog are urged to add and amplify the questionnaire!!Selena Dreamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629908887644614404noreply@blogger.com
