To be honest, I'm really not entirely sure what to make of that.

That's just the way it is intended, isn't it, TP? Renoir would be proud of you.

You know how to recite, Trousie, which is a rare gift (I have it too, so I can judge). Most people who are asked to read a story aloud just do that, without any expression. I think you would make a good actor. Ever thought about that?

I did a lot of acting before I began to write in earnest, so I'm pretty comfortable with performing these days. I'd still prefer to be performing my own work for a living than become "a jobbing actor", though. But thank you for you lovely comment.

Different people are bound to react differently. That's what makes it fun.

I have the rare gift of modesty

There's a difference between "modesty" and "false modesty". Would you want to hear, for example, John McLaughlin say "Yes, I can play a little bit of guitar?"

He wouldnt make any such statement - his music does the talking

For a comedian you're not really that ...

Nah seriously ... it's not to my taste ... but if it is any consolation I don't enjoy Spike Milligan that much and I didn't "get" Dr. Strangelove or Brazil ... and I thought Meaning of Life was the least appealing Monty Python film ...

For the record, I thought you sounded like Robert Morley from time to time, but that might just be me ...

Actually, I wouldn't mind HIM saying it.
