John Gray's post


I’m not as interesting as you Tom

I can’t shape a cucumber out of marble 

Nor can I argue to the point of violence  with fourteen Bath pub goers  after one  afternoon’s Sherry drinking  

I cannot flirt with 1960 Pussy galore types 

Or listen to radio four in my delightfully downmarket city apartment with drunks fighting on the bridge outside,

I don’t have a understanding and arty HI 

OR a green eyed girl with a face like a goddess 

I can’t write so beautifully and make it so easy 

And I can’t sound so angry when I’m only tired and fed up


I wish I was entertaining 

Tom entertains me x

    Just as well you cannot fashion a cucumber in marble. You are entertaining though.

    I'm disappointed there is no reference to farts. I thought guest posts were supposed to be intellectually stimulating anyway,

      Grateful as I am for the references to me, I am hoping that the writers will forget me for a change and write stuff about either themselves or whatever they think will entertain anyone else, especially themselves.

    Is that a Chinese cucumber, John?

    I'm with Albert Steptoe on intellectual stimulation.

    John, you nurture - people, dogs, plants, your home, even people on blogs that you have never met. That is priceless.

    Dear John, no-one makes us laugh like you { and Tom } I read your blogs because I want to smile and laugh. I know that we all have to deal with the ups and downs of life BUT, laughter is so good for us ...... one of my favourite blogging moments was the C***T game ..... that was SO funny ! Keep making us laugh, both of you.
