Hello, boys and girls. How are you?
(...)
That's nice. Would you care for a biscuit?

Of course you can take two. May I recommend the Yoghurt Crunch?
(... <crunch> ...)

I'm sorry about that, perhaps it's an acquired taste. Anyway, here are the pseudonymns you wanted.
1. Hoppipola Jones
2. Assiduous Clark
3. John W. Foster
4. Hephaestus Culvert
5. Beardy Augusts
I hope this is all right. I should quite like to write some more words soon, but I'm not quite ready yet. Give it another year or two. In the meantime, might I recommend Gavin Ewart to you? He is a better poet than me, and if I'm perfectly frank he is probably a better poet than you.
I've spent the past year paying national insurance and occasionally fleeing the country. I'm also being a football hack:

I'm also lending my name to an upmarket brand of French footwear.

Did I already offer you a biscuit?
