Today is the 17th of November.
It’s my eldest son’s birthday. But also his class mate Molly’s birthday, and the birthday of Hugh, who he plays rugby with. They were all born on the same day, but Hugh is as tall as Henry is small.
My colleagues Clive and Yyvonne are getting married today.
It’s also the birthday of Henry at work, and of Peter Cook; the number 17 weaves throughout his play Consequences, and I’m sure it’s because he was born on the 17th.
I think the Peter Cook Appreciation Society have a piss-up on every 17th November, but I could never go – it’s always Henry’s birthday!
Perhaps on every Nov 17th I should read the script aloud in the street…
I found you through a Google of Godley & Creme. I was wondering if anyone has any idea of whatever happened to the Gizmo. Does it still exist? Someone was talking about producing them according to something I read. Was there ever a technical description of how it was made? Where can I get some info? Any ideas?

Hi Barry – afraid I don’t have any other info on the Gizmo other than this. If anyone knows any more, I’d love to hear from them.
