Dear Paul,
You are very much on my mind just now. I think I flipped a bit when you kept Friday's joke still going on Monday. Not sane, not sensible and I am truly sorry.
Despite my online presence I work even harder behind the scenes & getting those people on to the forum is bloody hard work.
Re-reading my posts to you they are condescending in the extreme and for no good reason. The ugly truth is that I wanted to end the bullshit situation we were in on the forum and so I wanted to make an example of somebody just to flex my puny moderating muscles. It was an act of impotent frustration.
The forum belongs to everybody & I'm very jealous of hanging on to our posters, especially those who might be able to add something.
But I fucked up on Monday & I'm sorry.
Best -
Jim

Thank you very much for this message. I really appreciate it.
Can I take this opportunity to apologise to Ivy Girl if I upset or discouraged her in any way from contributing to the forum.
You're right Jim, sometimes I don't know when to call it a day with a running gag and I do become like a dog with a bone.
As good old OTP so rightly pointed out " Every forum needs it's hoho..." And I appear to be the Talk Ivy hoho.
As long as i'm entertaining with it and bring a little colour (black?) to the place.
You do a great job and i'm very sorry that I made some rather unpleasant remarks.
Thanks once again.
With great respect
Paul
Can I just say that I'm disappointed with The Beatnik's proper name. I was hoping for one of the following :
Milton
Zachary
Dexter
Isaac/Ike
Theo
Floyd
Eugene
GG
Ivy Girl now has to be worth all this!
My middle name is Thelonious is that's any good? It could have been worse I suppose. Darren? Craig? Derek? Trevor? What's your given name GG?
Before I upset anyone else. Apologies to anyone called Darren... Craig... Oh fuck it!

my real name's trevor and i'll never forget ya!!!
..not really, couldn't resist, sorry..
good evening i'm from essex
in case you couldn't tell
my given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
and I'm doing very well
had a love affair with Nina
in the back of my Cortina
a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
she took me to the cleaners
and other misdemeanours
but I got right up between her
rum and her Ribena
well, you ask Joyce and Vicki
if candy-floss is sticky
I'm not a blinking thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and i'm doing very well
I bought a lot of brandy
when I was courting Sandy
took eight to make her randy
and all I had was shandy
another thing with Sandy
what often came in handy
was passing her a 'Mandy'
she didn't half go bandy
so you ask Joyce and Vicki
if I ever took the mickey
I'm not a flipping thicky
I'm billeicay dickie
and I'm doing very well
I'd rondez-vouez with Janet
quite near the Isle of Thanet
she looked more like a gannet
she wasn't half a prannet
her mother tried to ban it
her father helped me plan it
and when I captured Janet she bruised her pomegranet
so you ask Joyce and Vicki
if i ever shaped up tricky
I'm not a blooming thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well
you should never hold a candle if you don't know where it's been
the jackpot is in the handle on a normal fruit machine
so you ask Joyce and Vicki
who's their brickie
I'm not a common thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well
I know a lovely old toe-rag obliging and noblesse
kindly, charming shag from Shoeburyness

Ahh Mister Dury. One of the finest poets this country has ever produced.
I was listening to some Blockheads stuff at the weekend as it happens. Must take some on holiday with me.....Spasticus Autisticus a classic, along with all the others. 'Itinerant Child' was pretty good too off the final album.
Genius of that kind, is never really appreciated by the masses.
