Myself: Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My life's a mess
But I'm having a good time.
Prodnose: So it was! A belated Happy Birthday amigo.
Myself: Maybe I'm laughing my way to disaster
Maybe my race has been run
Maybe I'm blind to the fate of mankind
But what can be done?
Prodnose: Repeat and fade?
Myself: Repeat and fade? Why not? A forbidding, fatalistic philosophy but not without consolation.
The entire company (repeating and fading): Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
...........
The Ginger Geezer (unconvinced in spite of our protestations): Are you having a good time? I sure am. Do you like soul music?
Myself: No
Ginger Geezer: Well, do the trouser press, baby! One, two three!
Myself: Trouser press fever!
Prodnose: Whooh! Whooh!
Myself: Trouser press fever!
Prodnose: Whooh! Whooh!
Myself: Trouser press fever!
Prodnose: Whooh! Whooh!
Myself: Trouser press fever!
Prodnose: Whooh! Whooh!
Myself: Trouser press fever!
Prodnose: Whooh! Whooh!
Myself (normal service having been resumed): The programme you have been listening to is a one-act play in eight parts by G. G. Dunnett for eighteen albatrosses and reservoir. The part of Old Bill was played by a frying pan. The other part of Old Bill was played by Sir Rupert Carpet who found a pair of swimming trunks on his head and was surprised... fades out without repetition.....

¡Feliz cumpleaños, primo!
muchas gracias
Hi & pardon the intrusion,
we're actually trying to get in touch with Sean Burke, and considering that your blog is the freshest lead to his bodily existence we've found, it's possible he might not want to be gotten in touch with in which case we respect his decision.
However, if he wouldn't mind us getting in touch with him, please either forward him our email, our forward us his.
Sure, we could try his publisher (UofE), but we thought this might be faster and less formal.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, it has to do with his scholarly work (we're interested in collaborative authorship, and are using some of his work in our own work).
In any case, we can be found at:
admit2(at)admit2(dot)net
Thank you for your time & happy birthday!
Natalija & Ognjen
Dear Natalija & Ognjen,
I have passed your message on to Sean, and am feeling pleasantly glamorous and mysterious.
Nick
Happy one, you old git.
You are now as old as me again.
We've been 18 for 30 years. That must be some sort of record.
Dunno about you, but kimmy recons i'm still 14.
