Phew! Thanks for putting my mind at rest Horacewimp , although I think I've lost about 10 years off me life... Do hurry and read it, Helmut83 , you might find some special surprises From the top of my head, what stuck in my mind was the Custard King crashing through the bass drum and ending up "wearing" the daisy chain. Classic. But really, every word is a gem, I'd say this is definitely the best episode ever Will be back with more gushing praise when I've had a more relaxed wallow.

Thank you Horacewimp . You’re too good of a lackey to be bumped off. But it’s not my call what happens to you now. I can only hope you are noted for your true worth and kept around.
A big thank you for making the “Secret Messages” thread helping me create this monster, and help throw more confusion in our poor Uno’s world! (Didn’t even see that date!) And all the other bits you helped me with.

Brilliant piece of literature!? For the love of Helmut, Helmut! Are you already in Dublin laying it down with JLN??
I was a little shy about throwing your name around. But damn proud I didn’t misspelled it, especially when bold and capped! Did think of doing this. The Heather fight with Damey is a favorite too. It came from an idea given by Uno. I told her I was having trouble with McCartney and she told me to dig into my inner Heather. She helped me a few times unknowingly. I’d pay good money to see someone eat a Ham, Jam & Spam samwich! Thank you. Happy you enjoyed this! All I wanted.

Just remembered another highlight: I don't know if you guys realized, but Wilf Gibson makes a brief appearance at one point.

I'm sure when you named the cactus back in the... what? '70s? '80s?... you didn't imagine it would have a song in it's honour and feature in a literary work, did you? I agree about the smiley motion... BSJ: did think of what? Of misspelling my name? As if you had to think about it, it comes out automatically for you! I emailed JLN (I remembered I had his email since we worked together on the Electric Animal Orchestra song) but have received No Answer so far.

Yesssss... all letters just flit about and stick where at will. It's the old toss-up. Any old, any old slot will do. Keep bugging JLN - remember to tell him I said he's an old goat!

Nah, one is enough. If he is interested in meeting he'll write me back, otherwise he'll just play the fool and not answer anything.

Gasp, it's prickly and perfect, thanks Horacewimp! It must have been the late 1970's Wilf was named, I got into ELO in around 1978 and became pretty obsessed

Just to prove I wasn't lying, here are my considered thoughts on Chapters 1 - 3, the rest to follow soon... Chapter 1
Love the Jeffery-fied Simpson pic, this is a good start. "...a fan of siestas..." too true, and it's well documented, siestas at any time of the day. Perfect aside there The writ-serving custard cup! I love it! But I'm glad Lucyfer gave it a good seeing-to despite the messy splats. Jeff Linen, snortle Classic foot stomp, the man never fails. Those tsunami sirens must work hard over there, two misspellings in one afternoon is major provocation though. Oops, HW making an appearance and not in the best light...the mental picture of the ranting Dame and the comatose Lucyfer, complete with scary new tats, brilliant. Damey does do "petulant" so very well. But then, seperate a rock star from his elevensies and inappropriate makeup and this is the very sort of result you can expect. Not to mention a creative new name to take in vain.... Poor old HW and his spaceship on wheels, it's a shame to laugh (but I did, a LOT) At least the autograph is in its rightful frame. Chapter 2
Oh, I DO approve of that daydream BSJ does have a lot to deal with though, being the most sensible ninja (and the Lord Dame's favourite) is not an easy gig. I could feel that whup upside the head all the way over here across the pond. That removable upholstery, what a great product. We should be investing. Gasp! That miserable Custard King, intercepting our clever alternative order, despicable him! FANTASTIC NINJA BATTLE!!!!!! YAY!!!! (and entirely accuate pic of me good self, I feel...) Ah, but a ceasefire is reached when the needs of the "Princess" must be attended to, duty calls... Chapter 3
OMG, No Clue and Ringo are matchless, I'm weak here. And more name dropping, this is getting very slick, not to mention the scrumptious food going on here, yummy! Tea time will never be the same again. Stevieeeee! And I like that J Child quote very much, restaurants take note please. Yay, the plastic leg, serves Damey right for tangling with feisty Heather...and is that Wilf making a sneaky appearance as an extra? This is truly a Hall of Forum Fame LOVE the bit where Paul holds his finger up while unsticking his teeth, I could totally picture that. And when he's "digging at his gums", hargh! And, to quote the song, he's SO vain it's a gift, no wonder loyal Ringo loses patience with him. Ringo really ought to be an honorary ninja. Way to get rid of that encumbrance though, the threat of vengeful ninjas is a winner. Didn't scare him enough for him to forget to fill his pockets though, gluttonous No Clue...

Let me add 2 things more from Chapter I: "Midnight Blue" calligraphy... I wonder how that woul be. If it's according to BSJ's idea of the song, the fonts would probably be horrible.
"Makeup applied in all the wrong places"... lol Who would have thought Mr. Lynne was so keen on that?
