This will be The Summer Without A Holiday, for various reasons. Sigh. In the end, what's the point of being a wage slave if you can't fit in some time off?<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-55866158005472964852012-05-31T14:55:17.805+01:002012-05-31T14:55:17.805+01:00Perhaps The Hat needs to go on a sabbatical again ...Perhaps The Hat needs to go on a sabbatical again this summer, in pursuit of ghosts?Kent Wileyhttp://www.manmadewilderness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-28949511816067160082012-05-30T22:58:57.587+01:002012-05-30T22:58:57.587+01:00Dave,

He probably told everyone that.<br /><br />Nice to see that his ex-chauffeur and mother of his (hilariously badly named) son Rolan is still doing well with Imelda May having some success with "Tainted Love". I'm not sure how much of the bopping imp's money she got but having written TL, she's assured a bit of a pension.Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.com
