God it's good to have you back. Everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you.

I was once delighted to spot David Soul having a quiet pint in a Kensington pub. But less impressed when I left to encounter him on the street yelling violent obscenities down his phone at what I took to be his current 'partner'.

Let's have a quiet night in together by the fireside; it sure brings out the love in your eyes. Only, this time I'm going in with my eyes open.

Crikey. That Pelham theme is a bit exciting. Ominous parping low-end brass? Galloping tribal drums? That sort of thing normally heralds the arrival of apes on horseback. Except this time you get capering snippets of out-there jazz melody. So the final mental image is of Ornette Coleman leading a cavalry charge of silverback gorillas...

It's a stormer ain't it - and I think you should be doing descriptions for a living
