New Zealand is a place I have always wanted to visit. Perhaps one day, I will make the commitment to sit on a plane for what can only be described as an interminable length of time and actually do it!! In the meantime, it will remain on my "bucket list". Cheers! Thanks Simon!

I have by chance just read this book. I would strongly reccomed reading it. It could have a profound effect on the reader. It did me. PS Also from NZ, its really going on down here come and have a look. Simon Hi

Thanks so much for your comments! I will look for your "Harold" and no doubt will enjoy it very much. And yes, I do think we could all use a little more in the way of monologues. I love them because they give us all a chance to have a good laugh at ourselves. In my life, I have found that if I can find something funny in even the most dire of circumstances, I will survive, no matter what. Thanks for reading. It makes the writing so much more meaningful. Cheers Gwyn Hi Robert!

I found your website by searching under "Stanley Holloway", of whom I am also a fan. I was brought up in Sheffield, England, and so I know about Yorkshire-style humour. Some years ago I wrote a short poem in the style of the Holloway/Mariott monologues, actually about my father. Just a day or two ago, I managed to finalize a video version of this, with my own introduction to it. You will find that on my website, under "'Ow Our Harold found 't Neutron". If you can track this down, I hope you like it. Incidentally, quite apart from the original Holloway monologues, do you think it would be a good idea to encourage other people to write new monologues (such as mine) in the same style as the originals? They all had a dark context, but a lightness that rose well above the darkness. We need some of that humour today, I think. Best wishes, Robert M Hello there, from New Zealand.
