I thought the old site needed an overhaul (well, getting rid of, actually), so at long last the new one is up. Same address: www.johnlprobert.com Any comments would be most gratefully received. Even very silly ones  | ||

Well done, old chap - it looks much better! Nice clean layout, and easy to navigate. | ||

Just the right word, as if I'd expect anything less from the songwriting maestro | ||

Thanks Ally - I'm hoping that the colour coordination with what I'm wearing inthe homepage photo will subconsciously appeal to ladies such as your good self | ||

A nice site sir - and that photo' is strangely compelling ("you will buy my books")... | ||

Out of curiosity (I'm toying with the idea of building my own webthing)--what tools did you use? | ||
| John_l_probert (John_l_probert) Username: John_l_probert Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 90.203.130.160 |
I didn't Hubert. I'm completely clueless where these things are concerned - I got someone to do it for me | ||

'The Sanctuary of the Suave Surgeon' Sorry - I'm in a strangely alliterative mood today. | ||

| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.24.122.40 |
Nothing, mate. I was just trying to do some dodgy alliteration. I sometimes pronounce "th" like an "r" - a habit of my childhood. Or: you're insane. :<) | ||

Doh! I'm so dopey tonight I wasn't even aware of your alliterative activity above. ;-) | ||

Very nice, Lordy P. You should do a medical questions page, devoted to maladies of malevolent illness. | ||

Thanks Mark! I think we'll leave the medical questions for a BBC series much later on in life, after the movies have come out  | ||

Thanks Griff! I took a poll of about ten people at work (all right, ladies at work) as to whether to change the picture but they all said my personality came through best on that one. So roguish rake I am. Oh, and in case you were wondering, I did NOT wear fake tan to have the picture taken, as was suggested by one of my nurses | ||

If ever they make a new series of The Avengers, they need look no further than Lord Probert when casting Steed. | ||

If ever they make a new series of The Avengers, they need look no further than Lord Probert when casting Steed. Exactly! I made a similar comment on here last year - JLP would be the perfect John Steed. | ||

A nurse I knew years ago only recently revealed that apparently 'Steed' was their nickname for me when I was a junior on the wards. I'd love to do it | ||

I can just imagine you with your umbrella and bowler, Lord P. Who'd play Emma Peel, I wonder? | ||

Sadly Mark I think Dr Thackeray T Lambshead's book has beaten me to it. Huw - I quite often carry an umbrella, but I've never owned a bowler. And has to who my Emma Peel is / could be... | ||

Where are your valleys roots, JPL? Where's the tracky, the kicker boots, the YSL shirt paid for by the child allowance and dabbling in drug dealing!? | ||

That all happened after I left, Griff. When I was there it was old ladies eating their husbands, lonely young men constructing golems to wreak their revenge, and beautiful girls who didn't exist. Where the only safe place to hide was the graveyard, and the only thing you could trust was your imagination. Things have obviously changed a bit. Can you tell I'm doing another book? | ||

"That all happened after I left, Griff. " I live just inside the Brecon Beacons National Park opposite my house is a sixteenth century fortified farm house. Ten minutes down the road and people are selling heroin replete with all the cliched tracky and tache lifestyles that go with it. It's terrible especially for the young kids you see. I feel like an extra from Apocalypse Now, "The Horror The Horror!" | ||

Three things about J.L.Probert. 1/ He appears to be a frightfully good chap. 2/ He is a dead ringer for Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan. 3/ He has a copy of Faculty of Terror surgically attached to his hand. gcw | ||

"When I was there it was old ladies eating their husbands, lonely young men constructing golems to wreak their revenge, and beautiful girls who didn't exist. Where the only safe place to hide was the graveyard, and the only thing you could trust was your imagination." That's too good to be wasted on the likes of us. It's an epigraph to die for. Repeatedly. |
