Andy, you've got a lot to answer for. Ever since I saw your username the song "Here we go Looby Loo" keeps bouncing around in my head. Is this you before you needed glasses?
By the way, next time you see Madame Esme please ask her opinion of these tea leaves I found in my cup this morning. Cheers.
I see you've been delving through my childhood photo album, ridgeway. Not many people were aware that my real name was actually Andy Pandy-Monium. Andy Pandy-Monium sounded too chaotic for television at that time. The BBC hierarchy therefore decided to remove the last part of my surname. Lo and behold Andy Pandy was born. Off screen I used to wear those Alan Whicker type spectacles. As I grew older I became very rebellious and reverted to being called Andy Monium.
As for Madam Esme, I haven't had any contact with her for many weeks now.
I'm not sure about the significance of tea leaves. But you could try using teabags or a tea strainer. It could be fatal otherwise.

Watch With Mother in the early 50s when television was still half decent. I was never really a AP fan and preferred Rag, Tag and Bobtail and The Flowerpot Men. I'm getting misty eyed with nostalgia.
Andy, I'm hoping to launch your official fan club. Do you have any preferences for the publicity shots? I think all these are flattering in their own way.

I've studied the four images at length, ridgeway. I must admit they would not do me justice.
Therefore, I've attached a photograph from my portfolio. This could be used for the publicity shots.
It was taken a few years ago. Apart from the beard and long hair nothing has really changed.
The shop assistant in Snap It And See said that I looked quite graphic. Or was it photogenic? I'm not sure which.
Well? What do you think?
Do you think my teeth would need fixing?

Andy, you have as they say a face well suited to radio.
Andy, your entrepeneurial zeal does you great credit. However, I still think there's mileage in the Marty Feldman's double idea.
The late great Marty Feldman. Now he had a face for television. What a smile he had! Well, I'm now going into my shed to study my microphone technique. Roger over and out.
Yes, I'm always careful, ridgeway. I don't even talk to strangers when I walk down to my shed.
I've just read this on the internet.........................
'A virulent and drug-resistant strain of clap is currently spreading through the north of England, now triggering a national alert.
Public Health England (PHE) said it is "concerned" about an outbreak of so-called "super-gonorrhoea" — which was first detected in the Yorkshire city of Leeds in March, but has since spread to Macclesfield, Oldham, and S****horpe.'

Andy, here's a picture of me in my garden bunker watching out for the inevitable migrant invasion of fortress Europe. Don't tell Kempo about the cigar as I promised him I'd given up.

Nice bunker, ridgeway. Looks a little bit like Portland stone.
Reinforced concrete; blast proof with its own generator and well. I can hold out for years if necessary. The wife thinks I look quite Churchillian; what do you reckon?
As well as building the bunker I have also designed a range of protective garments. Here's one suitable for your bike which as a mate I can let you have cheap.

Very Churchillian, ridgeway. Defiant in the face of the oncoming tide and seaweed.
A knight going well prepared with a spare chopper too.
Must say he's wearing a useful bit of kit. Talk about heavy metal.
He's looking quite pleased with himself don't you think? He must be going out clubbing.
Is there a discount for a member of a chopper club?
That bunker is in Studland Bay, Churchill. I mean, ridgeway.
If indeed it's in another location as pointed out by your good lady then.......
I'm walking backwards for Christmas, Across the Irish Sea, I'm walking backwards for Christmas, It's the only thing for me.
Spike Milligan RIP.

Andy, I think you're confusing mine with another one. I am frequently misidentified by members of the public and have been taked not only for Winston (which considering he's dead is slightly odd) but also Bill Oddie and Alfie Bass (aka Bootsie from Bootsie and Snudge).
