Mind you, he was born in 1906. The quote is, of course, from that deep mine of quotes/titles, Hamlet, and there is in fact no copyright on book titles. That book I'd edited for two years was given the title American Ikaros; after it was published we found a book, written within the previous decade, with the same name. A Pin's Fee will probably never get past Dr Plutarch but I wanted to explore titles way out in left field.<br /><br />Hattie: I was beginning to worry I'd been too clever. No response, at first.<br /><br />Julia: Mrs BB inevitably agrees with you on DatM. I challenged her on the first mvt in the supermarket and she hummed it to me but admitted it might be the second - very slow, very sombre. Anway you can't have it because we've already got a Schubert. I doubt the Naomi Campbell character likes anyone in particular; she just likes being seen with other celebs (or very very rich businessmen) in slavish attendance.<br /><br />Christopher: A poem! That's a first. I thought I'd have to wait until my tombstone was carved before I attracted one.<br /><br />And a self-deprecatory poem, too. Methinks the fellow doth protest too much; you've got your own ballpark which I am not equipped to play in. As I mentioned before, I could never match the compression some of my US mates came up with in their asides. I've posted this before but doubt that you've seen it. Told by my old drinking pal, Harry Miller, born of humble stock in Pittsburgh's Mount Oliver.<br /><br />It concerned Howard McSwiggin, a libidinous motorcyclist who had a penchant for other bloke's wives. Caught in flagrante, he raced away on his bike and sought to escape by turning into a supermarket car park, not noticing someone had stretched a chain across the entrance. Result: decapitation. HM's comment: "Safe to say Howard McSwiggin died with a curse on his lips."Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-26779196140597118752010-08-12T22:36:46.739+01:002010-08-12T22:36:46.739+01:00I want the CD.
