I had tennis lessons
I'm shit at tennis but kept going back because I fancied the coach something chronic.

I don't think you got enough praise for your barry zing.

I don't think barry's that into "maps"

That's fucking marvellous work.
Rather keen on the idea of 'Barryoaks' too.

Hello Berkles. Are you well?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 16:55, Reply)

Indeed I am good sir
and you? I believe you had a week off, was it fun?
(berk, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 16:56, Reply)

No, it was bollocks, for I was (and still am) ill.
Fucking typical. This always happens when I have time off - every Christmas, for example.

Poor show
I'm sorry to hear that.
(berk, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 17:01, Reply)

It was truly lovely to see you at ye bashe.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 17:03, Reply)

Yes, albeit fairly briefly
I hope you enjoyed your present. Are there any plans afoot for another bash soon?
(berk, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 17:07, Reply)

If they were guaranteed to be as good fun as I found that one
I'd have one every week.

Present was amazing - I was touched beyond words*

It was a damn good giggle
but then, they always are. I still think you should have played more Motown, though...
(berk, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 17:18, Reply)

Sorry about that.
I played no more than a quarter of the records I took with me. Next time I'll have a proper soul and funk section.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 17:31, Reply)

Now that sounds like a damned good idea.
If you could have it in a slightly less well ventilated venue, though?

My grandfather was a professor of English
and I was hugely pleased to discover that he thought Dickens was a heap of sentimental shit. Bit of validation for my own feelings, I thought.

i have an extremely poor track record of reading "The Classics", unless you read them at school etc etc

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 19 Oct 2011, 17:21, Reply)

I tell you what I've found to be the case in recent years,
the Russian classics like your Dostoevskys and your Tolstoys are really, really fucking good. I was hugely impressed by Crime & Punishment and War and Peace is excellent too.

The old bullshit trotted out about people like Shakespeare
that the themes are universal and thus make the works instantly relevant and engaging today, really are true with the Russkies, in my opinion.
