Scrabble aside, the only board game I can bear to play dates back to the 1950s. In 'TAXI!' players move little cabs around a witty map of London, picking up and dropping off fares, avoiding hazards and earning tips. The passengers are an Ealing Studios comedy waiting to happen.

Gerald Wilde's art is worth a look (it regularly comes up for auction and sells at surprisingly low prices). Here's a portrait of him by Lucian Freud. It seems that Cary didn't met Wilde until after The Horse's Mouth was published, but the similarity between Gulley J and Gerald W is striking.

Six months ago I posted an image of myself and an invitation to other authors to meet online in a pretend pub. Not so much as a single response. So I'm repeating the experiment and whoah - www.perchance.org have upped their game, and mine! I'm now a cross between Martin Amis and Barry Manilow.

Many thanks to Colin Sackett of Uniform Books for my copy of 'done' which is an excellent example of 'scriptio continua' (or perhaps that should be 'scriptiocontinua' and youseewhatIdid there).
