About this ebook
PostScript: Forgotten But Not Gone. For many years Roger was the sports editor of the Bangkok Post and still has a regular Sunday column called Post Script.
After his last book, PostScript, many thought Crutch would do the decent thing and consent to being put out to pasture without little more than a whimper. But you can't keep an old dog down and he kept on and on and on with his Sunday column in the Outlook section of the Bangkok Post. Well, it does good paper bag material after all.
There was some talk of him being dispatched to the knacker's yard, but the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aging Hacks reportedly intervened so he is still with us.
Unlike his first book which was thought by some as "too frivolous" in "PostScript: Forgotten But Not Gone" Crutch discusses matters of substance such as rogue potholes, squashed lizards, naked teachers and dancing policemen. And we must not forget Ms Yasothon's eating habits.
You have been warned.
Roger Crutchley
Now where do we start? We were going to list Crutch's achievements over the years — and there are many years — but unfortunately achievements are not quite as prolific. He is decidedly vague over his early childhood which is probably just as well. His biggest triumph so far was probably in being born in the English town of Reading on July 6, 1946, shortly after World War II — a "bundle for Britain". Crutch is somewhat guarded over his academic achievements although rumour has it he miraculously acquired an Honours Degree in Economics while studying in London. He thinks there might have been some administrative slip-up. This was the time of the Swinging Sixties although the "swinging" part appeared to bypass Crutch. He arrived in Bangkok in April 1969 on au overland trip to Australia and has been here ever since. He finally made it to Australia 26 years later, suggesting a certain reluctance to make quick decisions. His time in Bangkok has not been totally unproductive and in 1994 he won the Ayumongkol Literary Award. He also penned a screenplay for the film Kampuchea Express about which much was said, most of which unprintable. Suffice to say, it didn't win an Academy Award. Some wonder how Crutch has managed to survive to such a respectable age. He claims the answer is good clean living, abstinence from all temptations, regular exercise, early nights and the ability to lie brazenly, especially in print. Apart from "generally loafing about" his interests are most sports, primarily from the armchair, having hung up his football boots a couple of years ago much to the relief of his team-mates. For many years he was Sports Editor at the Bangkok Post.
