As I lie here in the Barrymore Wing of the London Hospital for Comical Diseases, surrounded by cards and flowers from well wishers, I can barely wait for the stitches to come out so that I may return to my beloved Millionaires' Playground. The quack says the op went well, and that my ego has blanded. Apparently the only scars will be mental ones, so that's good.In particular, I would like to thank regular reader Millicent, who has sent me this French brochure from 1934, advertising the 'charming town' of Ramsgate. If you want to test your GCSE French, just click on the picture to see a larger version.
From my limited linguistic abilities, I see that the town is described as 'very sympathetic towards foreigners'. Just try telling that to the Thanet Life squad!

GCSE French is ok for you youngsters for the rest of us it was GCE - and I failed
So the London Hospital for Comical Diseases has had you in stitches eh?
"Here goes his funny bone!"
I think he is on a ward at the Royal Moronic where he can perambulate in constipation.
Lucky he didn't get transfered to the Old Jokes Home.
Maybe he's got a pun in the a*se.
Do you think they gave him laughing gas?
It's nice to know people really care about you isn't it ECR?!
Oh yes. My adoring fans have really come out in force to support me!
