(By NO QUARTER).

Here I am again, "after a week of processione and parties, painfully dragging my blistered feet back to the office. Gentle Reader, little, as you may have realised it, old No Quarter played a prominent part in the re cant prosessions. I was eleventh from the front in the Silver Dragon. In my opinion, I made the whole show. But the funniest part of the whole shooting match is the fact that all you chuckle-heads, sitting there in your barathea topees, are saying to yourselves; Well of course I know he's quite a bright sort of chap. Usually manages to get a new line on most things. Still, I bet I know what he's going to write about this week."

You see you are completely wrong. The eleven wild asses of Bournemouth would not drag me to the slimy brink of writing one word about the Jubilee. I mean, its all very well for these poor wretched journalists, if you know what I mean, but for à pukkha penwallah, well, what I mean to say is
