And, while we're at it...

What led to the breakup of Horton & Bryant?

You two were a bellyfull of laughs.

What?

Fans of vitamin C will be delighted.

Linus Pauling swore by it -

What?

What's the story?

I just assumed you and Justin ran out of material and wound down the act.

You could make a comeback and investigate the above claims for the efficacy of vitamin C!

Or is that too much even for the disputatious duo to swallow?

[JustinHorton]

Well John I guess we just had a sense of when it was a good time to stop.

This may be a hard skill to acquire, but if you have any similar tools in your workbox, can I suggest you pass them on to Mr Fields?

[John McKenna]

Thanks for that safe & sound advice, Justin. I'll do what I can but no cast-iron guarantees can be given by me. Mr. Fields is a free agent.

[Jonathan Bryant]

What's the story?

There isn’t one really.

I don’t think there was ever an issue of not having anything to write about. There was - from my point of view at least - a fairly major issue with respect to lack of time due to work and other life stuff.

That’s it I’m afraid. No story.

Thanks for asking though.

[John McKenna]

Thanks for answering, Jonathan.

(I thought you two might have been slapped with a lawsuit for political incorrectness.)

The movie is mentioned in Lionel Burrell's biography 'The Waistcoat' that I found in a local library. I could not find it on Amazon after a brief look though the biography said that this movie helped to make Lionel Burrell as Charlie Chaplin who he co-starred with became so famous.

[John McKenna]

Hi Francis, can you give a bit more detail -

Which "local library"?

What 'movie'?

Thanks, John

I suggest forum members can spend hours of amusement looking through here :- https://www.bookfinder.com/?ref=bf_s1_ft_s1 which lists 150 million titles sourced from 100,000 booksellers throughout the world. A prize for anyone locating "The Waistcoat" by Lionel Burrell!

Which library please

[Francis Fields]

Having visited numerous libraries during my life, I will post the image of the book (with a chessboard) when I can remember and find it.

[John McKenna]

OK, Francis. Thanks, again, for your reply.

Ted Edwards could be in the frame -

However, this auditorium is empty since the critics have all gone to pick over the bones of a whale of a story - as is ever the way with those who follow the trawler.
