'My intimate friends call me Ding Dong.'
'I'd like to give you a clang some time.'
Joan and Sid exchange in '...Cowboy'
I was rather disappointed to see that on Ebay someone is selling a signed letter and photograph that they received from Kenneth Williams when they were a child. If this person has fallen on hard times then it is just about forgivable, but if they are just trying to make a quick buck then I find it reproachable. This is such a special and unique momento that if I were the fortunate recipient then there is no way I could part with it. I see this sale as a further inditement of the society we now live in. A society where everything has a price and this in turn leads to making everything worthless. Only a couple of months ago this individual was on an online forum saying how precious this keepsake was to her (it was definitely the same person because she included a link to a photo of the letter in the post.) Oh yes, it was such a precious keepsake that she's now flogging it to the highest bidder! Shame on you.
