   Let me guess ;

   a] Bournemouth
   b] Posting under another name to see if he gets more stars [shurely not again]
   c] Dead [possibly because he visited [a] in which case I've won a tenner..

   I had a holiday in Bournemouth as a kid.

   Big beach and gardens with lanterns in it that they used to light up every night. The excitement never ended. I don't remember much else.

   I thought about suing my parents over their holiday choices. I once spent a week in Penmaenmawr and stayed in what seemed like a cupboard above a shop. I'm not sure if the town was actually open. There didn't appear to be any other people apart from us and an ice cream seller. The day was spent walking from one end of the front to the other licking an ice cream - repeated for a week. It was blustery every day. I expected Patrick McGoohan to appear at any minute.

   Also stayed in Sarn. What did my parents see in a brochure that said it's a must go see place apart from the price? I don't believe poverty is an acceptable excuse.

   Several other holiday destinations have been left on file.

   No idea where Teddy is.

   We were told it wasn't even his picture, but whether to believe that or not? Did he go to that Ledbury piss up with Sauce and JP?
   Whatever, we don't need to worry about Edward, RIP.

   Poor old Ed....and on the same day as Claire Rayner too.

   He showed up at the Chandos at Christmas and challenged me and Des to a drinking contest.

   I thought he just got "hacked off" with "Toadygate" and hasn't been seen since.

   Sigmund Freud is dead though, he emailed me to let me know, which I thought was a great trick what with him being dead.

   Oh, that Edward Hack. Challenge must have proved fatal. Couldn't hack it.

    I miss E. Hack. I do not agree with the recent spate of Gerontius imitators.

    I wish he'd come back too. Last I heard he was looking to move house so he could have a garden and grow some vegetables.

    Scroat,nobody said anything about wishing he would come back.I believe it was merely an empty gesture by Wallster along the lines of 'We must do lunch sometime'
    That's my experience anyway...

    He said something nice once. Can't remember what mind you, but I do remember thinking it was unusually sincere for this place.

    R. Snake: please see uber-boring comedy/economy string where I agree heartily with you.

    Oh, and, death to all Gerontius imitators!

    And, you're right. "I miss E. Hack" sounds like my best Miyoshi Umeki imitation. (See "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and other fine entertainment vehicles.)

    That's someone I had to look up.I don't think we got Eddie's father here. I remember disliking I Love Lucy quite a lot though.
    I was recently reminded of the story about Cary Grant who, in his declining years receive a telegram, I think from a newspaper. It read "How old Cary Grant". His reply was "Old Cary Grant fine how you?"

    What's The Boston Stranglewanker on about now?
    Nonce.
    Give the boy a chance.
    Hack hasn't sobered up since bumping into Des and Stan at The Chandos.
    Or was that Clare Rayner?

    Geontius-imitator, I believe you are thinking of Luise Rainer.
