Robin - not yet but facing the medusa of the last two years tax submissions on which I've already paid more fines than I've earned, apart from the millions from royalties stashed away in Lichtenstein.

Jamie, I’m relieved – I thought you’d been turned to stone.

Sorry - 'It's heartened' is a neologistic way of saying 'I'm heartened' and 'It's heartening' - both at once.

Rumour has it that Harry Hill just flat-out refuses to do poetry readings, except for the odd bit of improvised doggerel. No doubt his sales are suffering as they should.
It's heartened to see a second reference here to (the other) Hill.
Makes me wonder how anyone could have dared accuse this list of obsolescence. And some of us like both Monks and Charlie Parker.

Actually, on this subject, Faber & Faber were saying Harry Hill didn't do much to promote his book.
