Denise has sent me her fictional story based entirely on the televised series of The Scarlet Pimpernel. You’ll find the entire script here.

The movie Withnail and I” is mentioned in a special edition of the EMPIRE magazine (The Greatest Comedy Movies Ever). There are apparently some nice photos of REG in there too.

“Hey guys….back to work and back surfin’ on the net at the bosses expense during lunch!! Here’s what I found!

17th July 2001 – Richard was in Hyde Park at the “Picnic with Pavarotti” concert, where Richard went on stage and read out a personal message from Prince Charles for everyone. The event raised £500,000 for the Prince’s Trust.

July 2001 – REG was at Michael Williams funeral, husband of Dame Judy Dench, after he died of cancer.

July 2001 – REG has added his name to a list of other celebrities who are boycotting the Perrior Comedy Awards due to the company’s involvement with Nestle (baby food in Africa et al)….it’s all part of the “Baby Milk Action” supported by Richard, Emma Thompson and Julie Walters to name a few!

Also, though I was unable to go to the Freedom South Africa concert, I have recently discovered that not only was Richard there (which you guys all knew right?!) but that he came out on stage too….so my mate took loads of photos of him and of Mandela for me, so when I get them, if there are any good I’ll send them along to go up on the site….fingers crossed!”

Thanks Nikki!

Denise received a letter from Michael Jarvis – honorary treasurer of the Waterford Charity. It reads:

"I write to acknowledge your letter of 11 January and your cheque for £50 from the REGiment. This continuing support is much appreciated. This UK registered charity met the not insubstantial cost of the fees for 30 black students from Swaziland and South Africa to attend Waterford Kamhlaba during the year 2001, and, due to the extraordinary devaluation of the Rand, the same money will probably meet the fees of nearer 40 students in 2002. The value of the pounds and dollars we can raise is of quite enormous value when remitted to Southern Africa. (Regrettably fund-raising in the States is negligible.)

All good wishes.
yours sincerely,
Michael Jarvis."

Denise would like to thank all who contributed.

Inspired by all those nice Pimpernel-pictures that are sent to the list by a few of you, I’ve made this wallpaper to cheer up your PCs :)
