      Not so tired as you can't point out wrong ones.

    Have just returned late from two hours ukulele practice - too tired.

      Just think how tired you would be if it were a full-sized guitar, Weave.

    This is having the desired effect on you lot as it is supposed to have on me. I am jealous and - if I admit it - slightly insomniac.

    Why did you bother? I used to work with Bernard Bresslaw's brother Arnie when I was 17. He said Bernard was the same at home but they never thought he was funny.

      I never thought he was funny in the films.

      He was fiercely protective of his brother and went very icy if you said you thought Bernard was funny. He said he was just being himself and the family didn't like it that he was made into some kind of a joke. You were right.

    E E Cummings, even if spelled correctly, doesn't belong on that list; nor does Quentin Crisp. I do love Three Men in a Boat though.

      So do I. Particularly the chapter in which an uncle is hanging a picture on a wall.

    Nicholas Nickleby was fictitious, and Quentin Crisp should have been. Do I win a prize?
