THE LEBANESE SWEDE FROM NICARAGUA Hey Marionette, lurking in the shadow of your inferiority complex, you're a sad, lonely puppet A truly poetic way to insult someone.
CHARMLESS SQUIRREL Why are you so obsessed with your tea-lady anyway? Just trying to avoid being poisoned.
PC STU How come I seem to be so attractive to women? I hardly get anything printed and women throw themselves at me anyway. This probably won't even get printed. Well, if you got it, don't knock it.

I fear I must bid you all adieu until December. By the time I return, may all with a hang-up about individuality realise and believe in themselves; be confident in your musical tastes, not critical of others; to those who complain of a primitive tonal scene: worry not, the sounds are there if you are willing to search.

I've got to go away to teach poorer countries how to have efficient post services. So this is sadly my last letter. I bet you'll miss my friendly encouragement and modern thinking.

If you're going to be pedantic, then two can play at that game.
Firstly, Tudor has a capital T. Also "minced meat" is obsolete, and the correct word is 'mincemeat'.
If anyone has other boring topics to be pedantic about, please don't let me know, as I couldn't care less.
