Bad Machinery by John Allison for June 07, 2018

“We’re not Jezebels! We’re Communists!”

Best leave the Fishermens Friends in the past girls. Be no good becoming addicts from the past.

It’s worse than that, Mildred. On one side of the time hole the case got Mummed down, and on the other side it got Knotted up!

So…Calvin’s mum’s a bit…protective.

Tony Goater? I’d go with “Calvin” as well.

Also, in the 60’s, look out for the red and yellow dyes in candies, right?

Old Horace Rumpole would say “She who must be obeyed” of course he was referring to his Mrs. but the idea is the same.

Fisherman’s friends never contained opium but Victory V’s had chloroform and ether in them. They were great!

Damn, nobody ever called me a Jezebel when I was a teenager. How disappointing.
