maurice sendak has left the planet

the loved one and i like to pop out some evenings ...

i might check out the scurrilous rumours about the down-market clientele when i'm on my way from london to carmarthen next week ...

if there is a god, and so when i get to heaven, then i shall walk straight up and demand to know why he never gave me hair like jean gabin or jean marais ?

leave 'em out ... ida lupino and michelle morgan have nothing to do with the argument

deux huiles de noix

a quote from a confidential consultation ...

before being prescribed a daily dose of aspirin and statins for obvious reasons ...

"i eat all the right kinds of food ... its just that i supplement them with all the wrong kinds !"
