TOE KNEE HAND COCK

 Yes, sorry about that. The title does read like one of those juvenile word 'jokes' that emanate from 'The Nui' like:

  • Amanda Lynn (A mandolin)
  • Anita Bath (I need a bath)
  • Barb Dwyer (Barbed wire)
  • Belle Lee (Belly)
  • Ben Dover (Bend over)
  • Doug Graves (Dug graves)
  • Holly Wood (Hollywood)
  • Justin Case (Just in case)
  • Kent See (Can't see)
  • Paige Turner (Page turner)
  • Will Power (Willpower)
  • Wayne Kerr (Wanker)
And we're better than that.

I might have mentioned it before but Tony Hancock is (was) one of my favourite comedians. His Hancock's Half Hour (radio and then TV) and later Hancock (TV) series from the 1950s and 1960s were inspired (with great writers and supporting cast). The lugubrious Hancock played the morose and depressive loner well which, as it turned out was his actual character leading him to alienate friends and colleagues and ultimately to die by suicide.

There were so many of Hancock's comedy skits, routines and episodes that resonate with life experiences. Here's one that reminds me of The Curmudgeon's experiences in blogging in a community of people who often don't appreciate the offerings:

So, if Donald Trump becomes a Catholic, he'll be known as McDonald Trump?

'The third part' refers to 3P.

Yes, bookkeeping can let you down if you don't get your double entries correct.
