Billy Bunter is a creation of the author Frank Richards

London Old Boys’ Book Club tomorrow, Sunday the 12th. Perhaps they’ll discuss whether the Billy Bunter character will ever become widely popular again. It’s remarkable people remember him instantly as a cultural reference. The Club retains its name from the 1940s.


Continuing to enjoy again the book with the puzzling title: ‘Billy Bunter and the Blue Mauritius’. #billybunterandthebluemauritius


Rereading ‘Billy Bunter and the Blue Mauritius’, with a title that doesn’t work now because surely not many people know it refers to a stamp. Perhaps it was in the news when Frank Richards chose the title.

London Old Boys Book Club meeting yesterday. Quiz based on ephemera literature reminded us of the astonishing number of fictitious schools invented by the pulp writers. St Jim’s, St Franks’—Greyfriars not included in the questions because too easy as an answer.


It’s Sunday. Looking forward to the August 2022 online meeting of the London Old Boys’ Book Club to discuss, analyse, deplore and question Frank Richards’s creation Billy Bunter. It’s next Sunday, always the second Sunday in the month. Other characters will also be scrutinised.


London Old Boys’ Book Club meeting on Zoom. Mourning the death of Chris Harper, who had a great knowledge of Bunter, his world, and other nirvanas.

The first large-scale use of lethal poison gas on the battlefield occurred on this day in 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres. #flandersfields #LestWeForget #onthisday #firstworldwar (1/6)

Gone is the generous star who was a fan of Tube Theatre, and came up to me to say so. What a loss for me, and more for her husband and many others.

Coastal Defences, Eric Ravilious, 1940. It depicts a scene just below Newhaven Fort close to Newhaven Harbour in East #Sussex. The original artwork is in the collection of @I_W_M.

Will Frank Richards’s / Charles Hamilton’s works ever be widely republished? No one of influence seems interested, even when I try to provoke them with reference to the politically incorrect passages.
