... but I saw Stephen Fry signing his new book in the Charing Cross Borders, and when he got up to leave, he had amusingly lost his wallet.

Made me chuckle.

Yes, I saw that bit as well. It was me that pinched it.

Graeme Garden's chequebook fell out of his pocket during a recording of the Motion Show that I saw a few months back. Either Punt or Dennis or Arthur Smith or someone went through the stubs and said "was she any good?"

Very satirical!

I nicked a book from a Sean Hughes signing at Borders a while ago. All right, 4 hours ago. But I regret it. I really do.

"It's what he would have wanted". I've got it here. Apparently it's about a man, Shea, who "discovers his father hanging from a light-fitting in the study of their prim New Forest home on Boxing Day". So it should be good for a laugh!

I can't be arsed to write the rest.

Hey, listen to this Sunday Mirror review: "The rawness with which Shea's isolation and emotional vulnerability is painted makes this a moving but still often amusing study of despair and regeneration."
Dear Pseud's Corner...

Sorry I nicked it now.







Still, he's signed 'Best wishes'...

I didn't make it very clear. The book is called "It's what he would've wanted", not Sean Hughes's view on the theft of his novels.

ahh, good old shawnie..

A knockabout comedy by the sounds of it, I'm sure the BBC are falling over to turn it into a 27 part prime time series.



















on second thoughts, prolly not.

Thanks for the info tho, I think I'll go read it in WH Smiths.
