So should I call the kids edition of my book Winnie Blueyās or Pup Piece?
Big Tobacco sponsoring a theater production for kids? Shockingly, itās happening at The Kennedy Center where tobacco giant Altria is the āpresenting sponsorā for Blueyās Big Play.

MY JASON DONOVAN STORY. The UK secret service was seeking a safe house for Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie. The Ayatollah in Iran had put a fatwa on his head for blasphemy. Totally coincidentally the landlord of the house selected by the secret service was Jason Donovan 1/3

Jason agreed to have his front door bomb-proofed and Salmon moved in. I know this because Jason once invited me to breakfast. He needed someone to write up his film script idea, an Australian spy comedy called James Bondi 2/3

Been saving this, sent to me at a radio station in 2001, for a special enough #Neighbours occasion. Is tonight the night or should I hold out for their 2060 reunion special?
