Burma Railroaded : .mp3 version
Sir Roger has gathered an enormous, highly professional cast to enact his recent post – “Burma Railroaded” – for the ears, instead of the eyes, of his loyal audience.
Sir Roger would greatly appreciate your response to and comments on this new venture into the multimedia world:
Burma Railroaded – in real sound!

Not wishing to cause offence or disappointment but rather driven by the very Catholic principle of always telling the truth, except of course when talking to policemen in a chat room, I’m afraid that down here the eyes have it. That said, perhaps some music by way of background….

My Laird: I am shocked and afraid that you “know that voice”. Has my mild-mannered reporter’s disguise been so transparent? Please tell no-one!
Liminal Being: No, no, Sir Roger thanks you for your comment on his experiment. He assumes you mean some more background music, wall-to-wall? (Sir Roger swears he has not been near the swimming pools at Parramatta Park for weeks.) By the way, Sir Roger has loaded a (minimal) version of the post to YouBeaut for those who must have something to look at (but he is sure it will not answer your objection).

Oh dear I am exposed as an unreliable witness so recruited were my neurones to speech recognition and so dazzled was I with the brilliance of the script that only 5.1 playing the Berliners would have released enough chemicals to embed my memory with the completeness of the piece. Please forgive, another Catholic device the heirarchy will no doubt employ whilst feigning shock that swimming pools attract the otherwise celibate. It was, by the way, one of the funniest I have read here, and you set yourself a very high bar, and I now withdraw, reversing as a postman before a blue heeler, head down with right arm and hand bestowing praise.

From the Management:
Sir Roger has been put to bed with a nice soft pillow and freshly-ironed sheets. He has been muttering to himself all day, “What has the bastard Slartibartfast got that I don’t have?” to which his butler replied, “Norway?”

This is where the true values(Australia), fidelity,integrity and dubiety mesh to a tenebrous cozen, Sir.R.has requested an artiface ,as well he should, indeed some of the comments placed on this esteemed site deserve cast, offering chimera to the written. ( catholic in the context , you don’t need C)

freshly-ironed sheets
Yes well, starched, as we have , may cause an interesting sound on the Linen.
I am going to devote my,sadly , short lived life to the true Sir.R.
So far I have come up with:
Tony Abbott
Steve Fielding
Tim Wilton
Kerry O’Brien
Bill O’Chea
Peter Singer
Slaid Cleeves’
I’ll use my Boarder Collie ‘nose’ and ‘eye’ you Sir.R.
“Norway” no way
Patricia.

I quite agree, but time-cheap, just for accessibility and, you know, experimenting. The vision is certainly not rivetting. Think I’ll leave out the U-Bute option in future (if, of course, I do it again).

Well, one would like to see “the post”, my Butler usually takes these tasks to task, however he’s off to see Linkercent or some offending Government Department:
The vocal expression I think is grand idea,if you could add a glare and blandish with dissimulate ,by Jove, could be a smirch on the establishment.
(The “post” link? (not YouBeaut/U-Beaut),, Good God old man ,so many hours in a day etc;)

Ah, I know that voice, now that has surprised me, that being of course the Sir.R we have bowed to and not a ‘fluffer’..
This could be a pinnacle.
