Mark Twain

The impending report of my early death were an exaggeration!  You should know that when I get cross about something I can get very angry.  It always helps to write this stuff when one is angry - most days for me! - but I agree last night's electronic epistle was over the top.

An interesting side-thought: if suicide is illegal how do they prosecute the offender?  I bet Bedford's finest would find a way!

Another interesting fact, he said in a Peter Cook voice: Mark Twain is what the Mississippi boatmen called when they were depth-sounding in particularly muddy shallow parts.

There's too much still to learn to pull the plug just yet!

Very pleased when faced with Izzards request of "Cake or Death ?" you chose the former.

Whoever u are, the reference to Izzard is wonderful: my favourite comedian. But no, I don't eat cake, as I am not yet a starving revolutionary!
