Regulars

A brief summary of some of the people who make a regular appearance in this blog.

C-Boats  My improbable friend and housemate.  Falstaff to my Hal.  Dr Watson to my Holmes.  Engels to my Marx (but not as clever and without actually writing half of my stuff for me). Chewbacca to my Han Solo.  Donkey to my Shrek.  Robbie Keane to my Fernando Torres.  Lembit Opik to my Cheeky Girl.  Morphine to my heroin.  here is a collectcion of posts that mention C-Boats.

Dannish Inquisition  My expat cousin, currently lording it up in Spain.

Katy B  Dance partner and bully, curiously tolerant of my quirks, she is a ‘good’  friend

Katie Mc  Absentee confidante.  I have never met Katie Mc yet I regard her as a repository for all the flotsam and jetsam in my life.

Yoko Ono  My mischievous kitten.  Here is a collection of posts about Yoko

The Shepherds  Collective term for the characters in my fictional TV sitcom, While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night, also known as Shepherds Pie.  The show is in pre-production (in my head) and I hope to write a script any day now (in my head).

George Harrison  What a Sexy Bastard.  Old Rope takes it’s name from a quote by this man.

The Beatles  Little known skiffle group

Carlos The Jackal  My debaucherous solicitor and king of anecdotes. Not to be confused with the other Carlos The Jackal, though the similarities are obvious

Smorse  Being a serial offender and wanted in 57 countries, Old Rope requires not one but two solicitors.  Troublesome, sinister and depraved, Smorse fits the bill perfectly.  Posts about Smorse

    How do I get my photo next to my comments (not that I have an ego or anything ?

    Mick – People who have a Word Press acount have one that is linked to their account. The wird pictures are automatically generated (I can choose to make them automatically generated cartoons too!)

    I am looking into whether people posting comments without Word Press accounts are able to set a picture as well. There is a site that Word Press is compatible with called http://en.gravatar.com/ This site allows people to have ‘avatars’ (i.e a picture) that move with them across different sites. I have not used it, just know that Word Press recommend it.

    I am aware that Mr Trippy, who has written the occasional comment on here, has his own picture. His blog is powered by Word Press software but I believe is not hosted on the WordPress.com site… I’ll ask him
