Bugger!

Bugger! I don’t understand. I’ve carefully read the whole of People magazine from cover to cover and there was not a single mention of last Thursday’s Maurice Boland show on Radio Europe. More specifically there was no mention of Maurice’s interview with me on the subject of my latest book Recollections of a Racketeer.

There was not even a mention of my fellow guests on the show: the man who shot his wife across the river Avon from a cannon, nor of the man who is combating crime with trebuchets of horse manure.

I don’t know what People magazine is coming to; they really need to improve their standards if they wish to regain their position as the nation’s number-one news source. Personally I blame that frumpy Englishwoman Susan Boyle, I think she’s got everyone distracted. I can only apologize to those people who spent their hard-earned money on People magazine anticipating an in-depth report on my interview with Maurice Boland. Trust me - I feel your pain.

Good Lord! Look at the time; almost 4:00PM. Time for some cooking sherry. Tomorrow’s another day. To be more precise, tomorrow is Sunday – the day that News of the World hits the newsstands. Maybe they will have a review of my book in their literary section.
