Has anyone ever heard of the tune Bootyman's Umbrella?

On Tuesday last TC and I breakfasted extensively. We discussed, amongst other things, how Thornton seems to have become the object of opprobrium on various threads on this chatter forum. The poor person was beside him/ herself.

On Wednesday, following a panic-stricken text message, I was forced to bundle TC into the back of my Humber Sceptre Gti and take him to the apothecary who dispensed wisdom, succour and a remedy containing witch hazel. Apparently, some of TCs more hurtful outpourings have been directly related to a back injury sustained on a canal towpath ambling holiday taken at the start of October. There is considerable discomfort. We should all try to understand a little more.
