Talk:E. J. Thribb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Re. the reference to Thribb's age, might it be a reference to Adrian Mole (who had a habit of writing similarly awful poetry)? I'm not sure how long the column has been going.

- Having looked into it, it would appear not.

Thribb was signing with his age long before Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole - can't find a quick reference to first publishing date but I read Private Eye before Mole was published
[edit] Thribb reads Wikipedia
His latest oeuvre (Eye 1175, page 23) includes:
- Marmaduke Hussey,
- Former Chairman
- Of the BBC.
- Sadly, there is very little
- About you on
- Wikipedia.
- And the same goes for
- Frank Johnson.
The thing of it is, he's right. Sam Blacketer 22:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
