  A fabulous discussion in celebration of comedy writers Vince Powell & Eric Merriman; in general, and the essence of the historical context of humour. Fun, Funny & really rather deep at times! With dear chums GEORGE CAMILLER (Mind Your Language), ANDY MERRIMAN (Hattie Jacques biographer), JAMES PERTWEE (David Croft comedies), and ROGER LEY (The Punch and Judy Man). As I was leaving, actress Anita Harris came over to tell me how much she'd enjoyed my talk. A memorable day for me. Thanks to Robert and Gemma Ross.

  Harry Lampeter and the Unholy Alliance   A satire at the expense of the establishment, but as Harry Lampeter says, ‘If you can’t take a joke, you shouldn’t have joined.’   Two years after he blew up the Channel Tunnel to foil the Franco-German invasion, Harry Lampeter returns to England, hoping for employment with MI6.

Public Lending Rights

  A nice thing yesterday, an email from the Public Lending rights people telling me they're going to pay me some royalties for the four books I've got in Suffolk Libraries (UK). I checked the library service website and found that two of my books were quite popular last year. The stock team have decided to buy copies of my latest offerings, 'The Digital Meltdown' and 'A G I - Artificial General Intelligence' so I'm hoping for a slightly bigger cheque next year. If you're an author, consider getting in touch with your local library service. Get them to buy your books, the money isn't great, but the exposure is certainly worth having. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D4JBBMDP https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D4JBBMDP
