LINES SLIGHTLY BELATEDLY WRITTEN ON SIR MOIR LOCKHEAD REACHING THE AGE OF 65 (25 APR)
Happy birthday Sir Moir
You are almost exactly
Four years younger
Than Kim Jong Il
The revered leader of North Korea
I hope you will not be thinking of retiring
Just as we know that Kim Jong Il
Has no plans to do so either
We are also hearing exciting rumours on Reading Station that First Great Western are organising a Son et Lumiere on the country end of Platform 5, Reading Station to commemorate the continuing outstanding leadership and 65th birthday of Sir Moir Lockhead.
We hope that the story we have been told is true that Mark Hopwood, dressed in a one piece body stocking in First Group colours and decorated with the First Group logo at key points of his anatomy, will give an incredible free style balletic mime of selected passages from that inspirational book, An Incredible Journey, the First Story.
Mark's backing dancers, known affectionately as the Hopettes, are, we are told, busily preparing their routines. The lighting will be provided by two Mendip Rail Class 59s remaining stationary at Platforms 5 and 9 for the entire two hours of the show.
Brunel you should be living at this hour.
