As you are aware from previous posts here and here (to name just two!), our hero, Sasha Fisher, was personally involved with the production of 'Ben Hur'.
Not only did he make it, but he went to see it - which I can prove not only with his bus ticket (!!)
but also the programme inside which I found the ticket tucked!
I wonder if they still do printed programmes at the launch of a major movie - maybe he has some others in the box!
Anyway, it seemed to me to be well worth sharing this collector's gem with you all, but as it is 34 pages thick I have to divide posts on it into acceptable numbers, and these are the 'openers'...
The first five, scanned for your interest, and I hope you will be able to read them. Scanning the whole lot took ages, but there are only twenty nine to go!!!
Yours, diablog, in the stalls

Sascha took a No. 14 bus which today runs from Putney Heath via Fulham, South Kensington, Piccadilly Circus to Warren St. Station and I assume that it had same route the. Probably he got off at Piccadilly Circus but where did he get on the bus?
Does this matter in the full scheme of things?
He probably got on at Warren Street after a Northern Line route in (via Mornington Crescent).
Thank you but should we therefore assume that stop 25 is Warren Street or the place where the Conductor took the money and issued the ticket.
Very interesting indeed.
Sorry, wrong. According to Samantha, Mornington Crescent came before Chipping Ongar and after Hatton Cross. Therefore, Warren Street was a missed stop on the 14.
You must now move to Baker Street and lose 6.3 points.
I didn't have 6.3 points to start with. Now what?
Just had pasta with porcini (ceps), the first of the season. Really cheap in Vilnius.
Help ER. Delete one of my double comments. Thanks
Yes, Sir,
At your service, Sir, your every wish is my command, Sir, done.

Your, obviously wine shaky, method of double commenting reminds me of the famous answer machine message ' this is a recording and nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong.
You are obviously painfully ignorant of Humphrey Littleton and 'I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue'.
Had you been around the UK a little more, you would realise that Samantha (the piano) would have tinkled your black notes to remind you that all contestants started with 10 points.
As you have passed Mornington Crescent without alighting at Old Street and, never forgiven, changed at Richmond, you forfeit 5 points at least. You gained 17.6 for mentioning the number 14 but are behind Willie Rushden I am afraid. Keep trying.
I am about to eat veal chop with salvia and saute potatoes, having had ravioli stuffed with porcini (which incidentally grow wild in the Glynsky Towers garden) yesterday.
Thank you ER. You are a star.
Yes Glynsky, I am blissfully ignorant of Humphrey Littleton but I do remember an ad for milk "watch out, watch out, there's a Humphrey about".
Did your Doctor manage to get rid of the mushrooms that you picked up in Brno in 1980?
dear Glynsky,
In one of your many, mostly unqualified comments you accused Casper and myself of speaking in riddles, or something like this.
How is this exchange with Smiles any different?
Start making sense or enlighten us,
ER
Engine Room,
Do you have your own blog?
Casper
Dear Casper
As you are new, I will let you into a secret. This is HIS Blog. Glynsky and Pete are paid roaming reporters!
Keep the posts coming ER.
I cannot speak for Glynsky (who the hell could) but if Smiles is right and he may well be, then I appear to be missing the last years cash transfers.
Smiles,
a secret? ... gee thanks, you sure are nice mr.
had anonymous read all posts as you said on your comment before? or is that a secret.
Casper
You are Right pete, No One can speak for Glynsky.
Wait, what?
Someone is getting paid here? By whom? What for? How much? Why?
We need a board meeting!
And Casper, no, I do not have a blog. This one already is more demanding then any sane person can take.
PS: Not even Glynsky can speak for Glynsky.
ER
I hope that the board meeting will not be like the last one, which was well reported on this blog. Dear Pete. Payment does not always have to be in money. i have an agreement with Glynsky. He lives in London and I live abroad. This is a better arrangement than money. For ER and Pete, I think the term used by Glynsky to desciribe you was "lackeys".
Dear Smiles,
Are you asking for an invite?
"Lackey" would be a step up from the usual "slaves", wouldn't it?
ER
Maybe in the past I would have liked to be present but I am no longer interested in your Bored Meeting. More important things to do and only 3 months until Christmas.
