Been listening to quite a bit of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue recently. With Humph! And Willie! I have the first three CDs, from back before everybody started dying. It's so nice to hear Willie again, and of course it's always good to hear Humph. And Tim. *heavy sigh*
Very, very silly, naturally! I think the highlight so far is Barry Cryer attempting to gargle The Flight Of The Bumblebee.
My second book cover is the Saint adventure The Saint's Getaway, by Leslie Charteris. The first Saint book that I read, and possibly still my favourite. It's got everything one could want from a Saint book. Pat, peril, lots of boodle, and a truly despicable foe. Also a good deal of swashbuckling about the place, and many a car with a running-board.
This cover isn't the one that I have. I have a far more uninteresting seventies reprint, but I love the Hodder & Stoughton Yellow Jackets. I have a few in my (highly eclectic) collection of Saint books (cribbed from second-hand bookshops all over Britain (and one from Canada), and covering practically every decade of the twentieth century!) But the Yellow Jackets are iconic. As you can see, this one cost the princely sum of two shillings. Twenty-four of your new pence, folks. For a book! Daylight robbery!
