A fellow blogger, some may recall, was compiling a book of funny blog posts to drum up money for Comic Relief.
Well, true to his word, Mike at Troubled Diva has finished the book in just about a week (pretty impressive, huh?) and it is now available to buy online. Be a loveheart blesspet and have a tootle over to Troubled Diva to learn more about it and, Hell, if you're feeling cheeeritable, possibly buy a copy.
P.S. On a mild note of narcissism, one of my posts features so the book's sales could do with all the bloody help they can get - get 'em while they're hot!
Teepee or Not Teepee? Sorry Gez, Get Thee to Grantham, Reggie's Back in Town.
P.P.S. Reg and the old-look blog are back! My team of marketing "executives" reported back on the rebranding of Grantham New Town. They told me, in short, that it had been left out on the backstep but the cat didn't lick it up, it had been run up the flagpole but no-one saluted and, finally, it had been seen aboard the 4.30pm to Westchester but it never got off. I took this report back to people who spoke English and it appears, as I had suspected from the start, that rebranding the blog was about as good an idea as Heather Mills deciding to enter an arse-kicking contest. My team also reminded me that I had only changed things around to clumsily emphasise a point. The point, I believe, is now made.
The result is that I am back to where I was before. Geronimo Sideboard-Wainwright III is no more (even though weirder readers can still e-mail him at geronimo.sideboard-wainwright3@hotmail.co.uk) and I have packed him off to Grantham - I had my reservations about him anyway (fnaar, fnaar).

Dear Reg,
I Wouldn't mind your views; Me and some mates were sitting in the pub last nighte deliberating on the virtues of Jane Austin.
When I got home I decided to Google her and found the following DVD's avaialble:
(i) Jane Austin does Dallas
(ii) Jane Austin and the Wizard's
Sleeve
(iii) D'arcy takes it up the wrong
'un
(iv) Jane Austin sings Amy
Winehouse
(v) Jane Austin: A guide to
swinging
(vi) Jane Austin: Stories of a
crack house whore
Do you think that these are unknown works relating to Jane and ,if so, what a find?
Alternatively, am I being conned by e-bay?
I have always found Jane's muse so compelling!
I would appreciate your advice as I'm tempted to buy them as a going away gift for a couple of friends of mine who are soon moving away to ive on a small rock just south of Iceland.

Dear Ken,
Thanks for your query. Sadly, I fear you are in danger of being conned by E-Bay. None of the titles you listed are genuine works by the dreary, predictable, away-with-the-fucking-fairies authoress - except, obviously, "D'Arcy teks it up the wrong 'un."
Ms Austin has, however, produced obscure works which are not well known, even by fans of the bodice-ripper genre. They include "Oops, There Goes My Corset!", "Fuck Me Delores, It was Like A Babby's Arm Holdin' An Orange" and, of course, "These Knickerbockers and Pettycoats Do 'Arf Mek Your Snatch Stink" which was made into a relatively successful West End stage production starring Brian Rix and The Krankies.
As to your chums who are heading to the frozen north, I understand that child abuse and burning new-comers alive are all the rage up there this year.
Might I suggest some Penguin publications which your friends would find useful - "Bugger Me!" by Ernest Stretchsphincter, "Pass Me Another Wee Laddy This One's Split" by the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, "Rafia Work Into Murder" by Audrey Halliday Christie and "Burn Some Sense Into The Sassenach Bastards" by Mad Jock McMad.
I do hope all of the above is of some use to you,
Tight lines,
Reg.
