I really wish I could claim authorship of this, but I can't. Don't know


who the

author is. Originally seen posted on another newsgroup.

Cheers, helen s



snip the funny text

really great.
I passed it on to the translator I work with and he told me it made him get
"How to be Topp" by Geoffrey Williams and Ronald Searle (first published
1954) from his bookshelf. The text seem to mimic the style of that book, and
the main character in it is called Nigel.


That's exactly what came to my mind when I read it - an updated version
of Nigel. I have three of those books, and also Searle's The St Trinians
Story.
