How much do you take in your  Gentlemen’s Spice? Asquith: Rioja. Absolutely without a doubt. You can tell from the aroma. Browne:Nonsense, it’s further south than that – La Mancha. As I said before, ignore the aromas and look at the colour, that colour screams La Mancha. Asquith: I say you are wrong old boy, this [...]

Tiberius O’Donnell is back… A pint of ale, my good man! I say, isn’t this nice, the bastion of England; the English boozer. It’s nice to get away from the stuffiness of one’s clubs once in a while and just sit and enjoy an ale with my fellow country men… none of this “your membership [...]

It is to be my greatest work – “The Temptation of St. Anthony”. In this space here the great Saint will be on his knees with his arms up to heaven as he is surrounded in the desert by the most foul trickery the devil can conjure. I shall be using both subtlety and the explicit to depict the temptations; this line here will be the long path that St. Anthony has walked. Over here will be a creature representing sloth and I will draw the viewer’s eyes to the blisters on the Saint’s feet – that is just one of many examples that I will create in this piece.

I do have to say, you are a… little older than my usual audience. So, I will skip the tales of sea monsters and chasing pirates that I normally reserve for such requests. Take a look out of the window; do you see those rocks, just to the north of Herm island? Six nautical miles. [...]

Warning, Gentlemen’s Spice can make you splurt…. Doctor: Do come in, if you would just like to just remove your trousers and wait behind the screen. Captain: Right-ho! And it’s ‘Captain’, if you don’t mind. Doctor: Do excuse me, Captain, we are rather a quiet little community. It’s not often we have a man like [...]

This brandy tastes a bit funny, pour us another one my dear fellow…
I say, have a look at this, says here the Wright brothers will have a machine capable of powered flight before the year is out. Ha! What rot. Zeppelins are the way forward. Trust me, in ten years’ time, they will be all over the skies of Europe.

“Get your lips tighter around it, you’re dribbling.”

This was the third time in the space of ten minutes I had to draw attention to Miss Rotterlicks’ technique. She looked up to me with those bugged eyes of hers, blessed with all the grace of a grasshopper. As she always did in these scenarios, she began to go faster.

the last page of henry lamberton’s journal My experiment worked and I have my proof that Newton was wrong. I have been exploring ways to pass on my observations and I feel that, after going through this in my head, the following is the best way I can find. Let us say that today, I [...]

No one can quite tell it, as Tiberius O’Donnell… I say, toy soldiers! What fun! What’s this fellow’s name? Colonel Robert Kekewich? Who’s this chap? General Jan Kemp?. He seems to have a lot more horses, that doesn’t seem fair. Oh I see, silly me, you are discussing the situation in Southern Africa and that [...]
