Calling Edward Fortune...

I received an e-mail today that reads:

quote: I am a researcher looking into the CCTV marketplace in the UK and have read an article entitled "CCTV in a nutshell" by Edward Fortune. As part of my research, I am trying to speak to as many commentators on the marketplace as possible and would very much like to get into contact with Mr Fortune. Would it be possible for him to email me to get in touch?

Could Mr Fortune please get in touch with andrewm@emeaconsulting.com

Eddie Fortune could be a private eye.

I could be Eddie Fortune... if I had a fedora.

"Yeah, so I managed to talk to that Edward Fortune guy and man is he an asshole! He said he had closed circuit cameras taking videos of my wife in the shower! He described her birthmark, Nick! I can't write this article or he'll put them up on that twisted Barbelith website..."

Oh, I have clones to do that, and cool floating eye things...

Well, the Market research guy wants to phone me and poke in painful places about CCTV.
Thing is, I wrote that feature 18 months ago, buggered if I can remember half of it...

I looked her in the eye, the one that didn't have a bruise like a strawberry birthmark. The bottle went to her mouth. This broad was tougher than Granma Dupre's Lancashire Hotpot.

"Tell me then, sweetlips. Fortune. He the sonnuvabitch who did this to ya?"

I draw the line at being called a wife beater, even in jest.

It's my real name. Not a joke name, not a fake name.

Totally OK with the piss being ripped, fairly mellow on this. Not OK with someone calling me a thug though.

Calm. Calm. It was a pastiche. You have nothing to fear... BUT FEAR ITSELF! Nyah! Nyah-hahahahahahahahahaaaaa!

Um... yeah. My last post was in response to this:

"Eddie Fortune could be a private eye.

I could be Eddie Fortune... if I had a fedora."

As a Mike Hammer type thing.

I actually wish I was called Eddie Fortune.

I have certain soft spots, watch me jump around and get angry when they're prodded.

And Jack, I'll tell you what. I'll be afraid of you and only you, providing that you let me smile down upon you (though of course, I'll still favour the bold)

Odd names are nice, though scary. I'm funny featured, so people seldom forget me, even a few years down the line, which is scary when you haven't a clue who they are.

Wasn't Edward Fortune the name of the Richard-Virgin-Guy joke on the Simpsons?

Sorry, Mr E. Didn't mean to cause any offence.

Anyway, we're brothers in E-ness. We shouldn't be a-fussin' and a-fightin'.

We should be a-lovi... maybe not.
