‘I am not a Morbid Man’
There is a full page in today’s Sunday Express on the new book. Allegedly written by me, it starts with the wonderful line: ‘I am not a morbid man.’ A disparate brigade of former acquaintances would argue with the ferocity of blood-frenzied sharks against that claim, but they would be wrong. The worst I could be called these is occasionally melancholic. My life now is about love and laughter. Mayfly days ripple throughout everything I do.
The feature generated one vitriolic email talking of ‘absolute DISGUST’ and ‘sick journalism’. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I always have several. They include facts are facts and up for reporting; if you do not like something, do not buy it and while I would never wish to sadden anyone, on any topic I am entitled to think different, very different.

Hey, I'm with you 100%. There are sicker things out there in the news at the moment, that's for sure. Like the entire hijacking of a country by a group of 'religious' power-hungry fanatics, for a start. Let's laugh a little bit at some of it that is actually funny, while we can.
I am reminded on the Darwin Awards guy who died when he shot a stag on a rock above him, and it fell on him and stabbed him with an antler.
Somehow I envision you saying that in Rex Harrison's voice to the tune of "I'm an Ordinary Man."
Good to see the Express readership are as rabid as ever. Moral outrage is so quaint.

Chandira – I loved writing some of the ironical ones. My favourites was the Southern preacher who tried to ban the sale of sex aids and was found dead with one inserted very deeply in him.
MTM – I aspire to Rex Harrison.
Puss – At least I am spared the Daily Mail given how much they were upset by Secrets & Lies.
