Hello,
My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.
I have been potterising for over 20 years and stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.
I’m currently firing a ceramic sieve and colander as wedding gifts for my nephew, Terrence who is getting married next week. She ‘s a lovely girl is his fiancée, Marian. Half French. Which is a shame. I wish them all the best for the future and hope they like the gifts. They have been a strain to make. Just my little joke there!
Here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.
1. Painting
Mona Lisa – Went out with a girl called Lisa once. She moaned a lot too.
2. Movies
Gone With The Wind – Haven’t we all at some point on our lives? Goes on a bit.
3. Music
Pink Floyd – Dark Side Of The Moon – Seminal rock album that has songs on it, where people sing and play instruments and stuff. A lot. Oh, and a woman gargles and it is meant to sound like an orgasm. But it doesn’t. Goes on a bit.
4. Literature
Oliver Twist – The Dickens classic – Young lad has a hard time. Then he doesn’t! Goes on a bit.

Thanks John – his imbecility is a joy!
Great to catch up with ol’ Terry.
He has insights others can only dream of!
How does Terry feel about “contemporary dance”? I’d love to hear his analysis thereof…
Holly, great idea – off to the Birmingham Dance Festival!
I look forward to his eloquent verdict…
The word bendy may feature
!!!!
Is that free delivery on the chinese too?
Orders over a tenner and within 5 miles Joe
Damn, I’m 54 miles. I’ll have to find another takeaway
Try Pot Pol in Kentish Town. Lovely Cambodian Take Away. The Khmer Kebabs are a delight.
😀 how could I resist
I’ve noticed your attention span for literature isn’t too long, Terry. Growing up in the United States we had series of books called “The Readers Digest Condensed”–shortened versions of all the classics. Did you ever see those? They were an abomination to the authors of great literature, I’m sure, but many Americans fancied themselves well-read because they could whip through the best in a matter of hours. I think you’d have felt comfortable with the shorter versions–they didn’t go on!
Hello – My attention span isn’t the best. I ate a lot of clay as a child and this has clogged me up a bit. I will have a look at these books as they seem right up my street. Any pop up versions available? Moby Dick would make a good pop up book although it may get a touch damp and then there’s old Ahab stomping about. So perhaps not. Call Me Terry!
Classic!
Cheers Hooky – anything you want Terry to review?
He’s like the best reviews from Rolling Stone magazine and The Economist all rolled into one! (Without going on a bit.)
The Stoned Economist would be a must read
He could probably give a great lecture on the financial impetus of the munchies.
And the Keynesian effect of giggling
