Hey bob cox…..thanks for the comment on Mel Ferrer. I will have to check out Rancho Notorious. Good stuff as always.
However I was a bit worried when you started to make jokes about the fall of the British empire. Priti Patel has suggested that people who are seen misbehaving at the moment should be reported to the authorities by their neighbours.
So for example The Work Horse [assuming that he ever did become aware of the things you are saying] might take you seriously and report you to Boris and Dom who wouldn’t take kindly to negative cracks about the British Empire. Otherwise continue to insert the odd humorous quip into your posts.
INTERVIEWER: Bob, Marlon Brando says that you are an applause junkie and that if you saw 3 people queuing at a telephone booth you would be compelled to go over and start cracking funnies to them. He suggests you should retire and enjoy more time with your grandchildren.
LESLIE TOWNES HOPE: By working I can earn more money to give to charity than they are paying him to play Superman. Marlon Brando never appreciated a joke in his life.
Hey Bob…Steve is safe for now…..lol.
