I would like to issue an unreserved apology to Gavin, who recently suffered a crisis of confidence on re-reading my Sunnyvale column. I’ve been assured that his hissy-fit had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that he is getting older while his girlfriend is getting younger.
After some not-so-successful negotiation on the wording, I would like to rephrase the offending sentence to clarify that Robert Downey Junior is the hottest man on the planet only “after the South African deity” that is Gavin.
As Gavin, himself, so aptly put it: “Fancy preferring a cocaine-addicted midget to the incarnation of Balder the Beautiful.”
Indeed, Gavin. What was I thinking?
I can merely thank you for your shrewd observation and hope that this small gesture makes up in some way for the “calumnies and insults” you have suffered. And the food vouchers are in the post.

One can only wonder what you were thinking, darling, but I am delighted to see that your faculties are returning. I shall blame your advanced years and the ready supply of cheap Argentinian cabernet for the slip and consider the matter closed. Your relatives can feel a little safer crossing the street. Of course, a case or so of Mendoza's finest in recompense would not go amiss.

ReplyDeleteYou're so right, Poilin. Gavin is wonderful. A modern Adonis, endowed like Bucephalus. He's great.
ReplyDeleteI may be a bride of christ, but I'd cheat for a man like Gavin...
