UPPER TIERS EXCLUSIVE: DELETED LETTER FROM CURTIS TO DOTTYPUSS
Added 2022-08-04 20:37:33 +0000 UTCHere's one of the letters I don't think we read out on this week's ep. I've not scanned the slighter more risqué one yet, but I'll try and get around to it next week, along with some of the others.
This is, I believe, the most 'recent' (and therefore final) letter we have from Curtis, dated 31st December 1940. It mentions Old House Lindsey (he's reassuring Dottypuss that there's nothing going on there... in spite of "temptations") and The Blonde Around The Corner.
I've changed the ep thumbnail btw, as it was doing TERRIBLY. Worse than any other episode in memory, which is a shame after 10 days of editing. People just don't want love and romance! Fortunately, there are plenty of other aspects of Curtis to lean into...
Oh! And the outtakes are still coming. I've, um, just temporarily misplaced the hard drive with them on. I think it has gone under the sofa, what!

Same happened to me. I had to hit like twice and then it added one to the count after initially subtracting from the count. Very odd!

2022-08-04 22:37:37 +0000 UTCI just gave this post a like, and it went down from 9 likes to 8. Did I somehow do a nega-like?

2022-08-04 22:31:05 +0000 UTCLove the new thumbnail! Its a shame that the video didn't draw more views. People are missing out, because it was quite a good one. I can't imagine the editing you had to do on this video. I can barely decipher his writing!

2022-08-04 21:44:49 +0000 UTCHe's got the bloody cadence and grammar of the people who type, "I very much enjoyed this video, but I see you fleetingly reference the VGA as having 256KB of memory. A mistake, I think? Some later cards would in fact..." on YouTube videos. I know there are other, better, more womanising reasons to dislike the old windscreen wiper purchaser, but that's me firmly off Team Curtis.

2022-08-04 21:09:08 +0000 UTCI thought I scanned all of them in... They should be in Dropbox?

2022-08-04 20:45:39 +0000 UTCI'll give Sanja credit for doing as well as she did reading these aloud... I'm struggling. And he's addressing her as his "darling puss" instead of just Dottie-puss" now?
