Apples and Carstairs

Everyone should read this book:



Simply the best book ever written, this is the back cover blurb (I have written this out exactly as it appears on the back cover):

The Big Needle

"Apples loves money and beautiful women. And he has plenty of both.

He is tough, too.

When his young daughter is dying from a heroin overdose Apples does not hunt the local pusher. . . that's not his style.

He goes for the top man. Mr Big H.

In a frightening thirst for vengeance, Apples pits himself and his two lovers, Lady Annabel and Babs, against the brutal thugs operating a multi-million pound drug racket in London and Marseilles.

Violence, sex and knife-edge wheeling and dealing all come their way in this tense, non-stop thriller of relentless revenge.

But that's Apples' way of life.

THAT'S HIS STYLE...."

Yes the main character is called Apples Carstairs, yes he has two lovers who both share his bed at the same time and yes one of them is called Babs. Best book ever? Discuss. . . . It's certainly good value, I've had it in my possession for over a year and I still haven't finished it.

It wasn't me . . .

Spotted this letter in yesterday's The Sun

"Further to your report (Aug 22) about someone who shares my name, lives in the same town and is charged with having sex with a dog. I would like to make it clear that I am not involved in the case in any way. I accept The Sun's apologies for the distress caused to me and my family due to this confusion.
Thomas Matthew Fletcher
Tewkesbury, Gloucs"

So there are two Thomas Matthew Fletchers in Tewkesbury, one a suspected dog fucker, the other, not. Problem is, I still do not know which one is or is not. The Sun should publish a picture of the innocent party with the words 'Not a suspected dog fucker' written below it. It would look something like this:


Not a suspected dog fucker

I have used a picture of Harrison Ford to make my point absolutely clear.

Sausage and Spice

There are so few details in this report, which makes it all the stranger that they felt it important to report that the attacker has no listed telephone number.

'The sausage and Spice attacker', it has a romantic ring to it. Pity that he's probably severely mentally unwell.

On another note, forget tired childhood confectionary nostalgia. This is the future:

(Sings) Funny news, funny news, everyone likes to hear funny news, yeah!

Did anyone see Noel's HQ on Sky One? Bit strange wasn't it.
