aaah it did make me chuckle just know...

right, when i first set up my e-mail ages ago, when i knew even less than i do know - there were fields for a "name" to be displayed...

so, i didnt feel like putting in my real name (iain), so i typed in Uncle Monty instead (from the film Withnail & I)...

i didnt really give it a thought until just now - i've ordered something delightful from Martin Breese, and have now recieved a charming little response him addressed "Dear Uncle Iain"...

Tee hee. I suppose you've come to terms with the idea that you shall never play the Dane?

Is it specific to TM or do magicians in general like Withnail and I?

Withnail and I is a classic film..... goes a bit off on a tangent in middle but it is a good good film...... the first 20 minutes are sidesplittingly hilarious....

Now I'm off to make a Camberwell carrot LOL

as a youth i used to openly weep infront of butcher's shops...

aaahhh, i just think anyone with a shred of humanity would love the film...apparently they have or will be releasing a new edition on dvd soon - with Bruce Robinson doing a commetary...that should be superb...

have you got soup? why haven't i got any soup?

I already have a dvd version that's got a making of docu and briuces commentary on it!! Had it for a while......

"What we have here gentlemen is the Camberwell carrot..... so called cos it looks like a carrot and I invented it here in Camberwell!"

perfumed p*nce...

Stop saying that Withnail!

My colleague at work has a hatred of putting his name on forms like those used by DHL and UPS where they insist on having a shippers' name to refer to. He usually signs them M.Mouse or P.Luto which is fine until some naive (or inattentive) marketing person phones wanting to talk to Mr.P.Luto about special deals and uprated services or whatever. It's very difficult to not laugh !

I have a friend who lives in France. One time his father had a bussiness trip to France with a colleague and since he doesn't speak french he told his son to make reservations at a nice restaurant.
My friend booked a table for "Mr. Glifomounis" (which is a greek word for "He who offers oral pleasure to women" ) (this is as polite as I can rephrase it ).
His father went to the restaurant with his colleague and while trying to communicate in a greek/english/gesture mix the waiter said : "Table for Mr.Glifomounis for two" ? (Thank God the father had a good sense of humor and my friend is still alive)
