Sounds like an alphabet soup to me, but it rhymes and has cadence; so that's good. You did know I have 'letters' in music don't you? I mean, I'm as familiar with Tonic Sol-fa as I am with Tonic Water.

I'm thinking about getting my alumni people to throw in a few shillings so I can get the pleasure of viewing my very own pie (it will have to be a true 3.1429 inch diameter pie) pushed into DGJ's face!

One problem is, I need help with composing a dedication or message. Can I have one that expresses gratitude to all the barmen, barmaids and floor-sweepers that have helped me get back on my feet all these years?

I want to make a poem too. Can anyone help me find suitable words to rhyme with 'Twaddle' - without making any characterizations of my closing-time gait?

Bore da, boys and girls.
