LOOKING FORWARD TO SOMEDAY DOING THIS. HAVING LIVED "IT" SO COMPLETELY...

Dear All
It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won’t come back.

My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I’ve shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.

However, it’s my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one’s stay. So I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell.

Ever
Peter O’Toole

I should say thus far only the material comfort has eluded me fully.

All about "The P.K." - My own Cocktail of Choice

It is proudly my own creation and has been named by me...

So I begin with the name and its meaning.

Welcome to the
"PK" - named after the lead character in my favorite book of all
time - "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtnay - and has a double
entendre to boot. It can mean Piccaninny* Kaya (Little Room/Out House/Toilet)
or Piss Koop, from the Afrikaans, meaning pee (Urine) head or in vernacular "Drunk"(from
Pissed) Head.

The “P.K.”:
Make a “Malawi
Shandy”***
Add One Table spoon (0.5 Ounce) of Roses Lime Juice
Add 1 Shot (2 Ounces) of Vodka
Add 3 More Dashes of Angostura bitters
DO NOT SHAKE or STIR – Let it settle as you sip.

The Actual Cocktail is simple and an alcoholic variation on
the virgin sundowner “Malawi Shandy”
***Version 1: (as used in Malawi, central Africa) **
Use a tall glass, half to 3/4 filled wich ice
Add half a glass of [bottled] lemonade to half a glass of [bottled] ginger ale
Add a dash of Angostura bitters and a slice of lemon and sitr.
***Version 2: (as described on a british cocktail website) **
Use a tall glass, half to 3/4 filled wich ice
Add half a glass of soda water to
half a glass of ginger ale
Add a dash of Angostura bitters and a slice of lemon and stir.
CHEERS!

*PICCANINNY, or Pickaninny,
a word applied originally by the negroes of the West
Indies to their babies. It is adapted either from Span, pequeño,
small, or Port, pequenino, very small. The word spread with the slave
trade to America, and has
since been adopted in Australia
and in South Africa.
- 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Piccaninny
