The other W.W.W.

I was going to leave it as a surprise and not say anything, but it seems that the cat is out of the bag anyway.  It is true. The very entertaining Wonderful World of Welts is going to be re-published on this site!  An early (but seasonal) edition from 2004 will come out (hangover permitting) on January 1st, and back numbers will be published each month after that.
 
Anyway, the WWW column will add a little light relief and hopefully stop us from getting too serious about ourselves.
 
As a taster, I received this by e-mail from Mike's 'we're just good friends'  Olga Sheerhose yesterday. I have never been able to understand how Mike, who is the essence of urbanity, succeeds in putting up with the socially challenged, kleptomaniac Olga, but there is no accounting for taste. With apologies in advance for Olga's lack of reverence: like the shoplifting, it is part of her condition.  As Mike said, you have been warned!

Dear G,

Mike has asked me to drop you a line for both us to say thanks for giving us a home. I understand we’ll be moving in at the beginning of January.

Mike can’t write as he had to go out to do the Christmas shopping. He’s much better than I am at it. Though, as he left, I did hear him mutter:

The Tights Wearer’s Prayer:

Our cash
Which art on plastic
Hallowed be thy Tights.
Thy Wolford Fatals,
Thy Max Maras,
In Harrods,
As in the House of Fraser.
Give us each day our Platinum Visa
And forgive us our overdraft,
As we forgive those that stop us spending.
Lead us not into TKMaxx
For thine is the Ergee
The Gerbe and Activskin
For Katia Calze and Legsavenue
AMEX

Our regular column ‘WWW Mike and Olga’ has been appearing elsewhere on the WWW. (The ‘WWW’ heading on our column stands for ‘the Wonderful World of Welts’). Someone told me that the original WWW stands for ‘World Wide Wait’ but then he worked for Microsoft, which also he told me stands for Most Intelligent Customers Realize Our Software Only Fools Teenagers.

Not like Mike who used to sell IBM’s. Mike says that stands for ‘I Blame Microsoft’. 

Anyway, from the beginning of January on a monthly basis we will be appearing right here on your Blog, G. We feel a bit like refugees. But are looking forward to staying with you for a bit.

Must dash – need to get out of this all over red net body stocking and my red six inch heels and nothing else outfit, and put on some sensible opaques before Mikes mother comes around to dinner. Honestly, she’s sooo critical!
