A Tiring Transylvanian Tramp

A Tiring Transylvanian Tramp

Dearest Sir,

As you are obviously alive and abridging with your predecessor's venom, I will get to my point quickly.

Muggleton-Bugler says I am 'some obscure Transalvanian tramp.' This only displays Muggleton-Bugler's legendary ignorance of acquaintance, geography, spelling and the laws of libel. I am acknowledged as an expert eradicator of Muggleton-Buglers; I am of Anglo-Indian parentage; and the extent to which I tramp is determined only by the variety of places Muggleton-Bugler goes to ground.

Muggleton-Bugler also says my parody of his name was 'cruel and hurtful'. That is typical of Muggleton-Bugler's pathetic sensitivity. May I remind Muggleton-Bugler that his use of pseudonyms already gets mention in the Guiness Book of Records and is largely responsible for Interpol's going over to computerisation. Those I cited were all in use in 1974. I ignored some of the flamboyant predecessors such as 'Brainiac', 'Mister Degrees', 'Dr Genius' and 'I, Einstein.'

Incidently, Muggleton-Bugler is typically vague and evasive in suggesting the 'suspect' is a long standing and respected member of a language department. No matter, as the only language with which Muggleton-Bungler is acquainted is 'dirty'.

Yours in dismay,

Jay Ville.
