On this bit i`m going to explain the Chapters , why this is in it and why is that not in it kinda thing Why did i start to write this Albert story in the first place you may ask well.. It started on a Beatles forum when one night i was bored as usual at the lack of posting on the forum so i thought , ive got half an hour i will do a chat show sort of thing and just have a laugh so i did a thread Ive Got Only Half An Hour and i would be the host and just ask stupid questions what would do if you had half an hour with a time machine sort of thing well it was a bit of a hit and every night we had a good laugh . One night i was sat there waiting for someone to do the show and after a while no show so i thought i would talk to someone so i thought of a homeless person i knew , and so i typed away and that was it . So the next time people were asking wheres Albert , so i brought him back , he was a hit and i was like they want to talk to a fictitious old man more than me ! So i was getting vibes off people you should write his story's , but i have never wrote out a shopping list let alone a story , not really had a great education so my grammar and writing is a bit basic but i thought why not ,and the first few story's i put on a George Harrison forum and they went down well ,more so with my two very good friends who have set up this forum Honey and Octie There enthusiasm for the story's was unbelievable and they gave me the will to write more and more and now we have this little place to put them on , and i get more enjoyment of the Lady's feedback than writing them . So thank You Honey and Octie

Chapters 1 and 2 . Albert and Hypnotism . The first 2 chapters i just did as a sketch the first time i wrote them , i say wrote , it was just a few gags really , as i said in the last bit , it was just an intro to Albert , and how Kite came to meet up with him . They are short but as i said before i have never done this thing before and i was just doing a comedy sketch not even thinking i would write more and more . Egyptian gods and the whole reincarnation thing well the story of Ra thats almost right from the Egyptian mythology . The goats milk joke is just a slight change on the 3 legged chicken joke which turns up in a Robert Rankin book Raiders Of The Lost Car park , you know how it goes , "What do they taste like ?" Ans . "I don`t know Ive never caught one " Mr Rankin is probably the reason why i`m writing these story's and Honey and Octie of course , he is a brilliant and funny Sci Fi ,Fantasy comedy writer . Chapter 3 . Dracula . Easy one for me , i have loved Hammer Horror films from a very young age and this was just a rip off of the film Bram Stokers Dracula and of course very easy to do comedy with this one , i like the garlic and blood tour jokes , i`m kinda proud of the tour joke .

oh yeah, the Dracula chapter, I just read it again ;D I like the "did he have a teddy-bear or a bat" joke The garlic joke was cute too - "it's good for colds, you know" And I liked the end, about how the Kite thinks he sees someone out in the graveyard and draws the curtains. Awww ;D

Chapter 4 ,knight of the round table . That story was what i used on the Beatle Forum , it was just off the top of my head and , i later wrote some extra bits in , the dragon part . Chapter 5 . The Exorcist . I think it was Octie asked me what had happened to Albert's wife in the Drac , so i thought it would be fun to write about an out of work vampire slayer , and i thought it would be funny to do a ghost story , but i changed my mind and threw in a twist at the end , and with , the "you never asked " bit , i quite liked that ;D Chapter 6 . 23 Well this is the first story i brought in the Time Machine and my love of Sci Fi . Yeah you could say its Dr Who and even with the introduction of Lana as Dr Who always has a girl assistant but i think its much more than just chasing aliens and monsters , you get to find out about how complicated Time Travel can be , and the Butterfly Effect and of course 23 which turns up alot in the story's , just keep an eye out The machine that predicts the future , and the number thingy , at the time of writing it , i never realized that the same thing was used in a Prisoner episode "Don't forsake me oh my darling" and its also brought up in the brilliant film Contact where numbers are a universal language , thats what was in my mind at the time of writing it . The story's i had wrote to this point , i had no ideas no notes and i just sat there and just typed away so the plots are a bit unstable so to speak , but i think i get away with it ;D Rabindranath Tagore , well he is a poet and he was pictured with Mr Einstein , as you may have guessed its not Latin for Dragon Slayer . ;D Albert E and Rab . Oh yeah and the icicles on the eyebrows . That happened to me in New York , it was so cold i bought a ski mask and my breathe formed on my eye brows , yeah it was cold that day . Chapter 6 The House Of Death . A sherlock Holmes film a "borrowed " this one is called The House Of Fear . In the film the men receive apple pips and as you know i changed it to lemon and got a great gag "A lemon tree my dear Watson . My fave bit the packing of the suitcase , and get the trunks . The English language , its crazy isn't it

Loch Ness and the McDonalds . nice little tale this one , thought it would be fun to have Albert and Lana go on a little trip through time and do comedy , the Mcdonalds came about when i thought it would be funny to think that people from the not so far future always assumed there has been McDonalds around , and of course the woman thought they meant a family name . George Spicer , he is one of the first people to report Nessy , so i have mixed facts with fiction as my hero Rob Rankin does a lot in his books . And nice little ending with Albert repeating the old lady ;D

Lets Do The Time Warp Again ! This is a bit of a fav of mine , as you get a girl from the future in the early 80s talkin about sheep being exstinct while the Floyd are on in the background playing sheep . Well thats me i like that sort of humour I will always remember the night when my parents were on holiday in some place and i had the house to myself and it was a hot night so i dragged down my very large stereo as they were in those long a go days , stretched the speakers are far as possible to the door and i sat on the step and put on the Floyd . it was Ummagumma , not animals . I didnt think Ummagumma would be as funny album to be on when Lana turned up , i thought of the title would be funny. you know "whats this ?" Ummagumma ! "Dont speak with your mouth full " kinda joke And maybe my fav bit in my storys so far the Father x mas . Now that was the old Marx Bros sketch in the boot leg place . But i think the good gaurd and presents is my best moment ;D

Yeh Honey Sci fi its mad init ;D In The Begining was Kite . I have just read this again and i`m amazed how good it is ! I know i would say that But it is the old Terminator time travelling back here there around the houses and before you know it you there at the begining of the story and .... Sorry Well i start the story at the begining but things are different , as the time travelling has messed things up. Just read it and enjoy it , its just good fun ;D The Tribys in the cupboards , thats what my Dads wardrobe was like as he was a hatter at one time , and i used to wear one in my early teens , well i lokked good in it with my long hair and cowboy boots . Best bit is Kite meeting Kite and giving him a hug ! A Farewell To Kings . I was talking to Pete at work and telling him to read my storys as he is a computing holiday addict and he said why dont you write one with me in it , so i went home and just did that . ;D Yeh and Pete does play a mean harmonica. All Petes tools have 2 dots drilled on them so if they go walk about [ as in "borrowed" ] Pete is one your case .So thats where the dots on the harmonica come in on the next chapter . Pete liked it so much , he now reads all the storys . Ta Pete The Girl Who Moved Next Door . A nice little story this one with a girl with telepathic skills as in the old Steven King classic Carrie , same surname note And We have the start of the on going story of Guinn and Albert ,and of course Gali

"Do you take sugar Guin?" "No thanks, I'm sweet enough" ;D Good stuff Kitie, good stuff
