THE LAST POST

Well, the last three months have been marvellous, marvellous, marvellous. However, this is one of those blogs which has blazed a trail like a comet. Its life could only be short, but dazzling.

It was probably a daft idea in the first place, the joke was getting very thin indeed and the search results were getting less and less interesting.

So the time has come to say goodbye to both of you disinterested readers. I'm crying as I type this and there is a small man playing a violin in the kitchen, which is adjacent.

All we have now are the memories, and, as a final parting shot, a picture of someone who both of us hold dear, a boy who will soon become a man and a worldwide megastar.

Thanx. Will the last visitor turn off the lights on the way out?

Comments:
I thought the lights were already out.
 
I'm taking some time tomorrow to revise my blogroll and I planned to add "Search Me" to the list. Thanks for the advance notice.

Will you send me email updates on your searches if I ask nicely?

I loved this blog.
*sobs*
 
I like it. I would have said something earlier but I was lost in cyberspace and hadn't gotten here yet!
 
Vicus - yer tellin' me.

MJ - Well, I will pass on any searches, but all the ones I've had lateley have been pretty uninteresting.

Cheesemeister - well you've not missed much, believe me.
 
Look! 3 of us have spoken so far. We are legion! The others are probably on hols and have no idea that you're closing shop. Think how disappointed they'll be. Isn't this enough for you to continue?
 
I don't think there are any others, MJ. Even my dream blog gets more readers.

I'm going to continue to post my searches now and then on my other blog anyway. Especially for Vicus.
 
Good ridance to bad rubbish, I say.

Ever since you Geoff, decided to be nasty about Richard Fleshman my daughter Kylie has been ever so miserable and went off the rails and started hanging around with the wrong crowd at school, including a boy who looks like Richard Fleshman and is a lot older than her and a bad sort. I don't suppose because he looks like Richard Fleshman that automaticly makes him a nice person, but Kylie is too young to realise that.

Now she is a couple of weeks' overdue and I fear the worst.

It looks like I am going to be a gran when I'm 38 and will have to go part time in my reception job to look after the baby.

Geoff, you have ruined two lives with your poisenous words. Thanks a lot.
 
I'm really sad but I know your other blogs so I can hang aroun d there. Hey Geoff, I know you didn't like Walking in Memphis but what about doing Roxanne, like after my girlfriend? I'd like your advice because you know a lot and don't try and show off like some of the others.
 
Roxanne, Richard? Are you serious? Isn't the register a little too high? And you do know that Sting was singing about a prostitute?

"Walk the streets for money. You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right."

If you want to dedicate a song to your girlfriend I think you're safer with a song by one of your main heroes - Elton John.

What about Daniel? Change the name to Danielle? Blondie did it with Denis and it catapulted them to fame.

"Danielle is leaving tonight on a plane. I can see the red tail lights...heading to Spain. I can see Danielle waving goodbye."

Classy, and the girls will lap it up. Act all lovelorn in the video. Maybe a tear...No, a tear is going too far. Soppy and heartbroken, though. Maybe at Manchester airport we can see your face through the window, watching the planes take off. Maybe look at your mobile phone which shows the text, "I luv u."

I'm filling up just thinking of it, Richard mate.

Or if you don't fancy that what about Tulane by the Steve Gibbons Band? If you want to show you're a rocker, that is.
 
I just thought that because my girlfriend's name is Roxanne she might like it. Maybe not. I never know about Elton's stuff. I mean he's a gaylord so you never really know who he's singing it too do you. Greggsy keeps making jokes about am I going to do a record about a brown dirt cowboy as well. He got well embarrassed when he had to explain it to Betty Driver who give him a clip for nbeing cheeky.

You know I'm doing a play in the west end soon, don't you? Are you and Betty comeing to cheer me on?
 
I'm not sure it would be our sort of thing to be honest, Richard. We tend to prefer fringe theatre or something like Uncle Vanya, at a push. Our diaries are full to bursting for the next six months - there's always so much to do in and around London! Still, we'll see what we can do ...
 
Maybe when he's in rep doing Charley's Aunt at the Erith Playhouse or supporting Chas 'n' Dave at the Orchard. I think you owe it to him after building his career up.
 
Er, I think i'm the last person, want me to turn it off at the fuse box?
 
Well, there should be a big lever somewhere down there, probably covered in cobwebs. It might be a bit difficult to shift - I think a bit of WD40 might do the trick.

Watch out for the rats. And don't let that heavy oak door close behind you. Good luck.
