About this deal

There was something buoyant and lighthearted about them that lifted you up and made you want to laugh with them" and it's noteable that Russ's becomes a more enlightened person once he spends a bit of time with them They finally fly out to LA on January 1st YEAR 5 at 11pm where they connect to a Qantas Tahiti flight leaving at 2am on 2nd January He is 6 feet tall, 12 stone 7 pounds, brown hair and blue eyes, slim and extraordinarily handsome by all accounts. Again - Russ is looking sheepish - this time clutching a briefcase, while a semi-naked brunette kneels at his feet and feels the cut of his suit. He's literally fighting them off..and he doesn't know why! Two versions of the cover exist - only slightly different in layout / colour. 9/10 Tobin Among The Stars starts on the Monday of Russ's fourth week in LA and ends on the Monday of the following week

That Debt-Collecting is a tough job for someone who has a heart of gold and an eye for the ladies. And also that when an opportunity arises - you should take it and worry about the consequences later. Life is what you make it and it is a fool who chooses to stand still when there is a whole world to be discovered.Drawing In Metric (1969) – Central Office of Information film for architects changing over to metric units within the construction industry.

The Courier starts the Thursday before Christmas of YEAR 2. Russ starts working in Majorca on March 13th of YEAR 3 They planned to leave on the 2pm flight on January 4th YEAR 5 - but get arrested and have to wait for the next Sydney flight on January 9th A friend of ours, let's call him...Paul, told us a lovely and touching story about how he stumbled across a copy of The Debt Collector when he was a young pimply-faced teenager. Paul took great comfort in the teachings of Tobin, until one day his dad discovered it secreted under the mattress. Much embarassment ensued but the happy outcome was that Paul's dad read it too - thoroughly enjoying it - and father and son bonded in a way that neither of them will forget. Aaaaah! It continues throughout the following week with Russ agreeing on the Friday to fly to LA a week today (ie the following Friday)

I should also add that in amongst all this, Stan chose to insert another scene setting Russ down amongst the gay community, which seemed to serve very little purpose other than to allow Russ to express quite how much he very definitely was NOT GAY. The characterisation was as cliched as you'd expect for a book written in 1970 but at least Russ described the experience as "edifying". Tobin In Trouble starts in Miami on December 20th YEAR 4, proceeds to New York for 2 days and ends on the night of December 23rd in Canada Then Matt, who's affable, rich and well-connected, invites Tobin to an incredible weekend party in his luxurious mansion on Santa Catalina Island - and Russ begins to make a few connections of his own. It turns out to be the most demanding forty-eight hours of Tobin's life so far. He was born in Cheshire, a Scorpio November baby (we never explicitly find out his birthday, but given that Stan was born on November 10th - that's as good a guess as any!) and when we first join him - he is 22 and living in digs in Liverpool working for a builder's firm called Wainwrights. Tobin In Paradise covers the first week of Russ's two week break in the Bahamas, starting on December 1st of YEAR 4.

Whilst between acting jobs in the late 1960s, Morgan began to write seriously and his first novel The Sewing Machine Man was published in 1968. Allegedly autobiographical, the novel revolved around the character Russ Tobin and Morgan went on to write a further 18 novels in the series. The latest of the Russ Tobin novels was published in 2005 after Morgan came out of retirement, mainly due to renewed interest in his work via the internet. [1] Stanley Morgan (10 November 1929 – 24 August 2018 [1] [2]) was an English writer and actor. He wrote fiction, in the comedy and thriller genres and had more than 40 books published between 1968 and 2006. Russ has stayed with his parents for a few days in Cheshire (January 24-27th) after returning from Sydney Looking At Paperwork (1968) – British Productivity Council film regarding the importance of O & M in business administration Horn is a young man who has adventures of a sexual nature with young women. This is typical of most of Morgan's books of the late 1960s to late 1970s. THE STANLEY MORGAN FAN CLUBTobin is in Hollywood, longing for a chance to show the world his unique star quality. Somehow, the movie moguls are unmoved. Mullardability (1969) – A Mullard film showing their wide range of products in the field of electronics It's a matter of public record that at the time of the book's publication Stan himself was working in a Retirement Home on the south coast (not Brighton), but ended up being dismissed when the company owners read the book and claimed that he brought their good name into disrepute (there is a subplot where Russ wonders if the complex is owned by a shady mafia-like corporation!) However, they found themselves on dodgy ground as a) the book has the usual disclaimer in the front about any resemblance to real people being coincidental b) their actual company name was not mentioned in the book and c) Stan had copies of original draft manuscripts that pre-dated him ever even working there! Tobin Down Under starts with Russ arriving in Australia on January 10th of YEAR 5 at around mid-afternoon Gideon's Way (1964–1966) – Det. Insp. Wallace / Policeman at Hospital (uncredited) (final appearance)

Stan gives book publishers a particularly hard time (in the guise of Julie Kahn) - ironic given what was to happen shortly after this book came out. Other than that - we also learn that no matter what may or may not be around the corner, you should always follow your heart and deal with the consequences afterwards.. My friend Stanley Morgan’s first book, The Sewing Machine Man, published in 1968, featured a lovable rogue, Russ Tobin, whose career path from bank clerk to sewing machine salesman seemed largely autobiographical. It was an immediate hit. There would be a further 17 books in the series, which sold around 10m copies worldwide by the close of the 1970s. Stan, who has died aged 88, then moved into the US market and continued to write thrillers throughout the 80s and 90s. For the purposes of this timeline we will refer to the years as YEAR 1, YEAR 2 etc of the time that passes throughout the course of the books. He starts working for Ritebuy at some point in the February and spends just over a year in their employ Later that month he quits and moves to London. He then spends 2 weeks on an acting job in Portugal from 5th - 19th October
