Nostradamus

The meaninglessness of existence

has come crashing down upon me

like a tidal wave

of Maxwell's house coffee.

For I have seen the future

my friend, and it's proper wank.

When a man of my standing

says such a thing then

you can take it to the goddamn bank!

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have an appointment

down by the railway.

David Niven (surely the Nostrasuavest thesp of all time) advertising ze Mazwell House in 1977. There was going to be a picture of Gareth Hunt here, shaking his clenched fist, but it appears that was Nescafé... funny how Memory plays tricks.
