First, I can't believe that isn't a quote from Alan Partridge

Secondly, LAD! The boy's done well there. I always like his dad. Clearly Mrs T didn't given where she stuck him

This is surely from a Tom Sharpe novel as well
“She may be what she calls estranged but she is the mother of my children,” Colonel Purbrick said yesterday from his farm beneath Mount West in the Mooi River region of Natal, South Africa. “I’m sorry she got herself into the ****. I hope she gets out of it.”

That is a truly magnificent article.....apart from the brother shooting himself

“I am a very, very well-bred toff. I was born and bred in Norfolk . . . So many people have said I should write my life story but I am so bonkers I can’t remember it.”
:nurse:


The judge imposed a two-year restraining order, saying that she had “real concerns about the defendant’s ability to make rational decisions”.

Have you ever read Simon Raven's Alms For Oblivion books? Well worth it. Thinly-veiled autobiographical portraits of - among others - Jim Prior, John Aspinall and Jacob Rees-Mogg's dad.

Rees-Mogg doesn't come out of the books particularly well, it must be said. Prior does.

Some other favourites:

"Ms Purbrick, who attended court in pink shorts having run a mile from the station"

"Having a friend who was a butcher she took eight litres of pig’s blood because . . . [Lord Prior] has interests in raising pigs.”

"Neighbours called the police when blood began seeping through the door"

It's its own soap opera. Eastenders would be proud.

Oh, I thought the former army officer brother shooting himself was absolutely in keeping with the whole tableau.

"Ms Purbrick, who was known to attend dinner parties with a parrot on her shoulder"

is a personal favourite.
