 The first in a series of Just William stories a favorite of mine for over 50 years.

Richmal Crompton Lamburn, pictured on the cover of her biography

Sometimes William can be very moral – he is inspired to tell the truth for the duration of Christmas Day in William's Truthful Christmas (Still William, 1925) with terrible results:

“        [William has just received a geometry set and a book on church history for Christmas.]

"Did you like the book and instruments that Uncle and I gave you?" said Aunt Emma brightly.

"No," said William gloomily and truthfully. "I'm not int'rested in Church History an' I've got something like those at school. Not that I'd want 'em," he added hastily, "if I hadn't em."

"William!" screamed Mrs. Brown in horror. "How can you be so ungrateful!"

"I'm not ungrateful," explained William wearily.

"I'm only being truthful...

William has been criticized by the RSPCA for stories where he is cruel to animals. For example, in one story he paints his dog blue as a circus exhibit. In another he has a competition to see how many rats his dog can kill in a certain time. Some stories have been removed from modern publication, such as William and the Nasties from William The Detective where William suspects a Jewish shop owner of dishonesty and forms a mob to evict him. ("Nasty" was William's mispronunciation of Nazi.) This story was written in 1935 before the Second World War, and was probably meant as parody. By the end of the story William and the Outlaws help capture a thief who had imprisoned the Shopkeeper and the Shopkeeper generously allows them to take many items free.

This story appeared in all the 20 impressions of "William the Detective" published by George Newnes (1935–1967), and in all the editions brought out by Armada in the 1970s. It was in 1986, in the edition brought out by Macmillan Children's Books, that this story was first omitted. Richmal Crompton's biographer, Mary Cadogan, wrote that both Richmal Crompton's literary executor – her niece Richmal Ashbee – and her publisher Macmillan "unhesitatingly decided to drop this episode [William and the Nasties] completely from new editions of the book." [Mary Cadogan, Richmal Crompton – The Woman behind "Just William" pp. 117–18]

spiritplantsradio@spiritplantsradio.com I have had this white label lp for around 30 years - who is she - did she make any other records?

My Exploding Head animation made using PovRay

I can not recommend the wonderful PovRay too much, for non programmers there is a steep learning curve but it comes with a very good tutorial and a VERY complete manual and needs it as it dose not work like any of the other 3D rendering software you may have tried and it's FREE. Thank you POV-Team.

  Tina C: A global country music superstar who has gone from small town America, via peace envoy to the world with a special brief to the Middle East, to standing for election as a celebrity independent candidate against BO in 2008. Since her defeat she has taken time out to ponder her place in the world, and will soon release an album about her failure to have children, called Barren Country. This highly successful comedy creation, an American Country Music celebrity, has played in venues all over the world, presented a UK TV series, Yanky Panky, four series for BBC Radio 4 and performed for many thousands, Royalty, and the rich and famous. A fifth Radio 4 series, From Middle America to the Middle East, is due for broadcast in late 2011.

 Christopher Green got into comedy via television production and acting, after graduating from Goldsmiths College (University of London), with a degree in Drama and English. He is perhaps best known for his work as a character comedian, in a range of personas, and has toured worldwide in venues such as The Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House. Green hosts, writes and performs original music and material in a range of venues from nightclubs, corporate events for companies such as Diego, American Express, Tiffany, Bloomsbury, and MTV to private parties. Performing as one of his characters Tina C, Green has presented his own TV show, and is currently working on a fourth Tina C BBC Radio 4 series and one as pensioner rapper Ida Bar

 Ida Barr: A rapping pensioner who instead of morosely looking back on her glory days as a music hall singer, is embracing a style of music called Artificial Hip Hop. Ida is based on a real English music hall star and is based on a mountain of research. The pensioner turned rapper made her first BBC Radio 4 series in Summer 2010. She has wowed audiences with her shows including Artificial Hip Hop, Get Old or Die Trying, and Last Christmas (Possibly).
