Hey P, just wanted to say Happy New Year and I hope you’re lookin’ back on this one with gladness. Been a smashing one for me too – can’t tell you how joyous I am to be back in Leeds and to realise with wonder how I ended up here being a student all over again after the yukkiness of London (not that there’s anything wrong with London, of course: just that London and me don’t mix ;-)

Anyways, love to you and yours and of course the fam.

Always,

Rory

Hi Eve, congratulations! So does this mean you’re going to be a mummy then? Go for it! Why not? Great news and I’m glad to hear you’re happy.

All the best,

Rory

Happy New Year! Even though I know this is blocked I’ll send it anyways ‘cos – well, I’m in frivolous mood and I suppose it tickles me to be writing to a blocked address. :-)

Cheers!

Rory

Dear Radio 4, can you please stop going on about the so-called financial crisis? It’s boring and it doesn’t really matter. Have you looked at the world lately? ‘Cos it looks to me like we’re all living in unimaginable luxury – and that’s coming from a man who earns sixty pounds a week and lives in a flat without central heating.

Anyways, otherwise excellent – but please give the money talk a rest.

All the best,

Rory

Thanks for the Chrizzie card, it was nice to know you were thinking of me. Also that it was an e-card, which is perfect for my minimalist existence.

Ali and I are now living, by the way, in a little flat not too far from uni, which is perfect for me and she quite likes it too. Earning my living being a football referee. How cool is that! And the student life is still going well.

Hopin’ all’s groovy!

Lots of love,

Rory

Are you bored? Do you want to read a TV script I wrote? It’s a bit like Garth Marenghi but hopefully future episodes will take it into avenues deeper and new.

You can make some suggestions or add some great jokes and/or plot twists if you have them.

Hoping all’s just spiffing,

Rory

Matty! Did you read my Towels? I keep thinking I want to get on with more episodes and I also keep thinking about a friend I have from school who is very funny and has always wanted to do something but is like me in that, despite talent, he probably never will, and then there’s you and your mind and your humour and how you once wanted to make a TV show called Blean and maybe you have some ideas for The Bender. Collaboration I suppose is what I’m saying. But I’m also aware that you’ve got three children and a massive house and unlike those lazy student smelly slob types you work for a living. But hast thou ideas and thinkest thou maybe you want to squeeze your brain next to mine – and my friend’s – and see what comes out?

I love you all more than a miner loves gold – come on, sugar, let the good times roll.

Yours, always,

Rory
