Lapsedcat,

It’s pointless you trying to post a clever (to you) response, when it’s clear you have either misread my mail or incorrectly interpreted the contents.

You know that I don’t give a fig about the sexual proclivities of La Perkins or anyone else, don’t you? You don’t? Well, now you do.

The sentence concerned was constructed to help make the point, but with specific words chosen for comic affect. If that missed the mark with you, then you know how I feel when I listen to SP, however I don’t consider myself a failure as I’m not being paid for it.

Sandy Toksvig I have loved and admired in everything she has been in, both on radio and tv.

Hope that answers all your concerns.

If you need any more help or advice, please let me know.

Steve

Nice to see you're not taking things too seriously, Steve.

And tell me, how long did you agonise over the dried-up sour-faced lesbian bitches from East Dulwich "zinger"? I must say, it was the "lesbian" bit that really rammed it home and had me fanning my armpits - thank goodness that dreadful Perkins woman is a confirmed wearer of sensible shoes or else your line would not have been nearly as vitriolic: "dried up straight women sour-faced bitches from East Dulwich" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Keep 'em coming Steve. Let's hope they invite Sandi Toksvig back for a return gig, I'd love to hear your assessment of her - gay, Danish, short, plain - you'd be spoiled for material Steve, spoiled.
