Happy birthday Johnny.

He actually had two. Charles Edward Anderson Berry. I remember things like that from my youth.

Saw him in concert once in Manchester and Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Ike and Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones and quite a few other 'stars' of the time. I was also at the Free Trade Hall that famous night when some pillock called Bob Dylan 'Judas'

Any suggestions on what folk should paint on their backsides to thwart attacks from the foul-mouthed, malevolent pillocks of today.

Nat's backside is often used as a billboard, but the rest of us would probably have to make do with a pithier warning.
In passing, did those stars live up to expectations?

Absolutely. The Rolling Stones were first on stage (i.e. bottom billing) in a concert that included Ike and Tina Turner, The Killer and Bo Diddley. The Stones had just had their first hit record with a cover version of Chuck Berry's 'Come on'.

 I still prefer this  version

I take my hat off to him.

Don't get me started on golf. My brother pestered me into playing a few years ago, and, to put it bluntly, I was pants. Drove me mad, so I packed it in.
Mark Twain was right. A good walk spoiled.
PG Wodehouse used to give the bunker on the 10th hole of his local club, as his home address.

You are well-informed, Bonsey. Speaking of Wodehouse, I used to own half of a Gloucester Old Spot but for the avoidance of doubt I'd like to confirm that Lord Bobsworth has no evil designs on Nuts' pre-eminent  pig.

The BBC had a half decent few stabs at the Blandings stories, but I've always been of the opinion that Wodehouse reads better than he films.
We once had a cat called Monty Bodkin.

I agree. I really should spend more time reading instead of spending it checking up on charlatans, tax dodgers and other assorted hoodwinkers.

Found out quite a lot about NHS fraud and other goings on by chatting to folk whilst dog walking.
I'm an inquisitive sort and had to find out more after making my first discovery by chance.
