Is the Russian problem real or is Vladimir putin on an act?
He is definitely one of those people wanting to put their
marx on history but is he Stalin-g for time before he Mos-
cow-tows to NATO? Whatever the result Vlad, five Tsars for
trying.

Wind Turbine.
I had to yell at the local kids for climbing the wind turbine and hanging my shirts from the blades. "But mister" they said "the redhead told us it was a rotary drier."

5-star Review for Shakespeare's Cuthbert.
As a previous reviewer has observed, Patrick Barrett writes like Tom Sharpe “without the bad
language”. Personally, I’d be happy to write like Tom Sharpe using any kind of language, and I
fully endorse that reviewer’s opinion. This is a refreshingly clean farce, combining all those
essential ingredients: a plot told at breakneck speed, a myriad of highly improbable situations, a
motley cast of engaging characters, and a huge sigh of relief when the curtain comes down.
Thoroughly recommended. This is the most pleasurable read I’ve had in ages. And just look at all
those 4- and 5-star reviews!

Maxed-out.
I had a great idea, I named my dog 'Maxed-out' and shambled through the city unshaven shouting "Maxed-out" so that people would take pity and give me money. They'll arrest you for anything these days won't they?

Tesco delivery
I think Tesco have gone all religious on us. The delivery today showed they had run out of plums and substituted the grapes of wrath. I'd better not let the redhead bite into the Adam's apples.

Plan ahead they said so I did. I wrote a fantastic epitaph for myself but I still don't have a gravestone because the redhead has sent it to Thorstruck Press for its final edit. Reassuringly, the shovel is still by the back door.

until next week.

To find a pile of cans and a big paint brush.

Aunt Liza
Aunt Liza is a beautiful redhead who uses a mobility scooter the way anyone else would use a panzer mk 1V. She has come to the valley to develop a cinema complex (Or as Cuthbert would have it 'electric people') and leaves with a 'valley complex'. The chaos inbetween her arriving and leaving is the basis for Cuthbert How Mean is my Valley.

Percy
Percy is a gardener. Everyone knows he is because he tells them he is at every opportunity. His college course had been quite fragmented because he spent it listening outside the classroom window and the lecturer had an unfortunate habit of pacing up and down so Percy only heard the bits when he passed an open window. On cold days when the windows were closed Percy didn't get any work done at all but even so, he is renowned for his dahlia vines and thistle beds.

Thought you knew golf eh?
Anyone who has read any of the Cuthbert comedy series will realise that the Valley has a strange effect upon its inhabitants. When one of the males in a careless moment challenges the females to a golf match the lines are drawn and so are the daggers.

Redheads and their ancestry.
The legend of the survival of the redheads has it that they refused to enter Noah's Ark because he wasn't offering vouchers. So they hijacked a passing albatross and reached the high ground first and that is why the albatross has been seen as bad luck for everyone else ever since.

Shakespeare's Cuthbert
The first book set the scene for the Cuthbert series and this is the link. http://mybook.to/Cuthbert1.

Who never knew what would befall her,
She would be a good wife,
For the love of her life,
But Patrick came along just to stall her.

The Future's Orange.
According to an informed redheaded source the Chinese will take over the world so mandarin is the way forward, therefore I have made all my book covers orange. She then complained that they looked like Penguin books " But penguins are black and white" I said "And mine are already black and white inside." The redhead glared, "Asiatic" she snapped. "Bless you" I replied. Conversations aren't what they were are they?

My Review for Bill Kirton's Sparrow Conundrum.
Writing comedy is not as easy as some may think but Bill Kirton keeps up both the pace and the
tension with his take on 'disorganised crime.' The confusion caused by coded messages and over-
populated meeting places and everyone having an alias of a bird's name is well done and comes
nicely to a head as all the characters meet for the grand finale. Well worth a read, 'Spoof crime'
at its best.

Life with the redhead
So, there I am reading quietly when the redhead enters the room, "Where would I find a shoulder bag with a strap long enough to cross my body and leave my hands free?" she asked. Without taking my eyes from my book I replied "The shop at the top of the street darling." I could hear the cranial cogs whirring before I was asked "Which shop at the top of the street?" Pausing for dramatic effect I eventually replied "The Newsagent." Silence filled the room for a while before being broken by "Why on earth would a newsagent have a shoulder bag with a long strap?" I smirked and said "So they can deliver the papers." Then I realised she was blocking the door, ooops!

Chapter One.
The crow tilted one wing and rode the thermals diagonally across the valley. He could see it all from up here, scattered houses and a farm nestled in a fold of the earth below him. Whoever had designed the crow had been truly inspired, the way the head stuck out in front gave a panoramic view without the wings obscuring threats or danger. However the colour wasn't perfect, it made formation flying at night an absolute bugger!
I am an ex-miner who has written the CUTHBERT SERIES of comedy books. I am hoping to provide my readers with escapism from the stresses and strains of everyday life and involve them in a timeless fictional Valley with larger than life characters which are developed throughout the books. Each book has its own theme and they can be read as part of the series or as stand-alone books.
