About this new NHS soup and shake diet: once
I've had my soup, how long do I have to shake?...

Great to see Ennio Morricone has 3 entries in the
nation's top 20 movie soundtracks list. Proof
positive that he wasn't just enniold composer!...
(The Mission's position? No.6. The Missionary
position? Depends who you ask, haha...)

I always thought Colin Firth's Mr Darcy was one
of telly's most celebrated beefcakes. Suddenly
he's a sponge cake. How the mighty are fallen!...

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
