An open letter to an admired personage:
Dear Mr Sir Lord Michael Caine HRH OBE (Millud),
We're thinking of having a party at young Tim's place in Sydney with the theme of "Michael Caine". We thought it would be rude not to invite you along, as it is being held in your honour.
For several months now, we have been honouring your acting landmarks in our daily lives through the judicious use of lines inspired by your performances, such as
- "don't you point that bloody stick at me",
- "you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"; and,
- "hold on lads, I've got an idea".
- and so on. You get the point.
We have discovered that, as mere Welshman and Australian, the sure-fire way of getting into your accent for quotation purposes is to say the words "'ello Archie". But that isn't really relevant. Sorry.
So what is relevant? Let's get to the facts. The hard pointy end of what we're offering you, Sir Lord Mr Michael Caine, Lord OBE.
We are offering an evening with select company consisting of;
- just five people and an infant (all CVs available on request, all of whom are sane and have no provable criminal records),
- an extensive wine cellar of good, reputable Australian wines,
- a genuine Australian Barbeque, consisting of a fine selection of fishes from the Sydney fish markets (you are welcome to come buy them with us, should you wish to do so),
- two of your films, to which you are welcome, but not obliged, to add a live actor's commentary to, consisting of anecdotes, ad-libs and wit; and,
- As much whisky as you can get down ya neck (all Scottish, single malt).
We appreciate that you are not a resident of the Southern Hemisphere, but the next time you happen to be in Sydney, or indeed Australia, feel free to give us a bell, and we'll whip up a night that you'll not forget.
Should you wish to come along to our night of frivolity, feel free to contact us at;

Admiring regards,
Mr Christopher J. Langeluddecke, Esq & Dr Tim D. Owen.
