Our more usual correspondent seems incapable this week of dictating his usual drivel to anyone in his team of personal attendants. This unfortunate state of affairs is liable to lead to unforeseen circumstances. It is rumoured that this absence of copy has been caused at least in part from switching his previous imbibulation from the glass to direct intravenous methods. This has left him somewhat more incapacitated than normal if normal is word that can be used in his current situation or even any situation. Mention of his current situation reminds me that he was recently seen swanning around multi-storey accommodation that overlooks Fawkner Park doubtless he was after one of the many suites they have there.

Ah well we will see what happens next week.

Oh! And break a leg Ted.
