Can't come to the party but I'll do your horoscope if you like. xx PS ... I know you worked with Can so here's I Want More for you ... (I know Peter Gilmour wrote it but I can dance to it and it should be remixed as a Noughties dance track) ...
OK people, this is what Fallowell's Wiki entry says - and he's SIXTY.
"Duncan Fallowell (born 1948 in London) is a British writer of fiction and non-fiction. His novels are Satyrday (1986), The Underbelly (1987) and A History of Facelifting (2003). He has written the travel books To Noto (1989) and One Hot Summer in St Petersburg (1994) and the biography of a transsexual April Ashley’s Odyssey (1982). Fallowell is also a cultural commentator and journalist who has specialised in interview-portraits of unusual or celebrated personalities. A collection of these has been published as 20th Century Characters (1994) and two further volumes are planned."
Sorry not to have invited you, Truman, but it was really just a private dinner for a couple of dozen. But I'm going to have a fling next year when the new book comes out - and your on the list!
Isn't Bryan ferry the most tiresome of men? I could scarcely imagine him a Libran: that's astrology for you. And who would have imagined back in the Roxy Music days that his sons would turn out to be raving right-wing pastoral revolutionaries raiding the Commons and gnashing foxes to death in the name of ye old countryside. Goodness, don't I go on.
Liechtenstein is made up of 11 communes: Balzers, Eschen, Gamprin, Mauren, Planken, Ruggell, Schaan, Schellenberg, Triesen, Triesenberg, Vaduz. It has a 100% literacy rate and no HIV/Aids. It failed to fight Hitler.
Oh yes - I've never had a horoscope done.
ReplyDeleteEmail me your birth details with place of and time if known (helps with the rising sign).

As long as Mr. Fallowell can sing "When I'm sixty-four", he'll still be on the sunny side of life. Happy birthday !

ReplyDeleteMany happy returns Duncan - long may you rain (on everyone's parade).
ReplyDeleteDuncan - have you thought of writing a biography of Liechtenstein? I really think you should do it.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean the country or the painter or the grand duke? Forgive me - I have a terrible Bollinger hangover
ReplyDeleteDuncan
and it was Bryan Ferry's birthday too
ReplyDeletewavin it at ya, Dunk, across the oceans
ReplyDeleteSorry not to have invited you, Truman, but it was really just a private dinner for a couple of dozen. But I'm going to have a fling next year when the new book comes out - and your on the list!
ReplyDeleteDuncan
I want less
ReplyDeleteShouldn't that be 'you're'on the list? And he's a famous writer!

ReplyDeleteWell, he said he had a Bollinger hangover . . . give the guy a break.
ReplyDeleteFerry is the king of prats, so of course he fathers squirts
ReplyDeleteThe country! Liechtenstein has a fascinating past and it's small and is fit to be picked on for its financial crimes.
ReplyDeleteFerry is a narcissistic snob
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm making lots of mistakes today - Liechtenstein has a yodelling prince not a grand duke - still doesn't get me hard

ReplyDeleteWhat does he look like these days? Your story taking me back to the warm nights with him near Siracusa
ReplyDeleteThe viddy is ace.The music is clever and unusual. Any connection between the two?
