"Listen up you absolute shower ! Dear old Terry Thomas, the absolute
bounder and cad of all time, was born 100 years ago this week ! Yes,
I know what you are thinking.... "Gosh ! I say !! " No one was ever
better at wearing a carnation in his buttonhole, sporting a gap-toothed
grin, twirling his moustache, claiming to be an army major.....then winking
at a busty barmaid and saying.....(slyly) "Well....hellooo !" No one ever
cheated at cards, air races, cricket, car races, golf and wooing the ladies
like spiffing TT.
"We all know he`s not with us anymore, worse luck !
"So, be a set of good chaps and watch a Terry Thomas movie this weekend
- Jim Slip loves him outfoxing Ian Carmichael in "School for Scoundrels", I
chortle at his rakish tango with Joyce Grenfell in "Blue Murder At St Trinians"
or his cactus collecting major in "Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World"....
"So get on with it you shower ! As Sir Percy or Sir Cuthbert Ware-Armitage,
the dastardly father-son duo of "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying
Machines" and "Monte Carlo Or Bust" would say...."Bog off !!"
