Subject: RE: the sick note/ murphy and the bricks.
We've just had an excerpt from the Hoffnung rendition on BBC Radio 4's Pick of the Week - it seems there was an appreciation of the Tales of Gerard Hoffnung on Radio 3 last Monday night. Harry Enfield was saying that he didn't think the Barrel of Bricks was very funny when he first heard it, but Hoffnung grew on him later.
