I was up in the attic earlier today and, in a corner under a sheet, was this portrait of me painted many moons ago. Trouble is, when it was first done it looked like the photograph of me at the top right-hand side of the page. That's it - I'm going on a strict diet of self-discipline. From now on, I'm restricting myself to a mere 100 sins a day. That should slow down the decay a tad.
Still - handsome buggah, eh?
Kid, what have you been up to? M.P.
ReplyDeleteWine, women and song - without the wine or the song.
ReplyDeleteUsually when a man invokes Oscar Wilde (or Shakespeare) there is trouble brewing. And I gotta confess Kid,(because we've spoken before) I'm not sure whether you're a Scotsman, English, Welsh or God forbid, Irish, but you're definitely from the U.K. so we Americans (and I speak for all 300 million of us) expect you to be a little bit diabolical and prone to trouble. You don't just show a picture of Dorian Grey and leave it sit. So...what's up?
ReplyDeleteNo trouble - I just thought it was a nice picture and contrived a comment to go with it. Trouble will probably be along at some stage 'though. It seems to follow me around.
ReplyDeleteI've done all I can here, people. Now it's a matter for the State Department, and they say the drones are in the air. M.P.
ReplyDeleteEr...eh? (I know that's not by Oscar Wilde.)
ReplyDeleteHey, I just saw that picture the other day - you must read the classicmoviemonsters blog site too!
ReplyDeleteI often take a look, but I've got quite a few of the pictures he features already. Can't recall if I saw this one 'though. Perhaps I did and it subliminally influenced me. It's a great site.

I don't believe it! I took a look and you're right. I even left a comment on it. How could I forget? I'm afraid the old brain is deteriorating.
