Singin’ the the blues… scenes my life: Tommy Steele to Borges, Bukowski, Benjamin & Baudelaire via Sendak, Hoban & Firbank ...to end up enchanted by a Bordello... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scene 1. 1958 Logiealmond, Perthshire, Halloween, three children stand in the dark outside a house, giggling and whispering, one of them knocks on the door…it is opened by a woman - smiling expectantly. The three shuffle their feet - look awkward - then a boy, a tall serious looking thirteen year old with specs, steps forward and sings Tommy Steele’s Singing the Blues a huge hit earlier that year. He’s never done this before (and never will again). Despite his Scottish accent he tries to get the
PVNKS is now Parkie’s Vehemently Noncom* Krapps Society + 2 more FVCK YOU Awards from my day trip to LDN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My classicly Parkie extreme slowness to get anything actually completed happily meant that the letter to J. Paxman had still not been sent when i realised that V for Vehemently was a much better fit than v for Violently. As even from such an obviously profoundly pacifist source as Fvcking Parkinson’s in these febrile days one has to be hyper sensitive,,,And the other V word seemed more in keeping as my credentials as an actual fearsome tearsome punk are next to nil… To cut to the chase… i’m sure

The wonderfully eccentric bit of mock classical that announces the start of Sicilian

The wonderful who was so immediately enthusisastic about the idea of a an online beacon of badassery for punk minded Parkies…led directly to my drafting this invitation to Jeremy Paxman…who may of course be too ill to have any interest in such tomfoolerly but here’s the latest draft which i plan to send to his agent this week.All comments and suggestions welcome….well up to point…if you don’t likt the idea then you know what you can do…Dear Mr Paxman,I’m working on the idea of creating some kind
Help - I’m trapped in the body of a 80 year old guy with FUCKING PARKINSON’S! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The trouble with Substack is it feels like i need to write an essay-not just a screaming headline…. But right now im sat in my office chair in the corner of my beautiful flat so completely locked up and frozen with a screwed up Parkie face , my legs crossed cos they ache so much and crossing them somehow relieves the pain.I’m writing this on my phone cos it’s all I’ve got just now and when I’m like this it’s the only thing I can use…in fact the laptop is becoming increasingly redundant as I star
