Hi Pete,
Would you let our fellow inebriates of this established "home" for the weary,that due to mechanical failure of my undercarriage, I have withdrawn my entry to the London Marathon.
Due to extensive training , I now require sustenance and bed rest (King size!)
I shall therefore not extol my usual charm and presents or lack of presence. as like wot I does ,as is my usual grandmer and spelins!
Me Collidge are well pleased wiv me progriss, and for a furver payment of gold or similerr amount, I.ve bin promised a distincshun in the vernackers of talkin'. (still not shore wot that is?)
Payment to a place in some right forrin place, so it must be ok like!
I'll still be around 'ear tho! but etherially!
Oive got me beady eye on yer!
