A link to the original Banjo version could be a useful addition?

Nope. Scrofulina doesn't answer to Scrofulina, or near variants. She does have a 2-year abandoned PS here, but wants it left unsignposted.

Good dog? More like seriously bad tempered old bitch.
Have stopped smoking (three weeks) and banished alcohol to a fond memory until 2007. Apparently I look amazing but I feel like sh*t.

Who's writing what and are you both published now?

My scribing has been confined to the magazine I edit (three times a year) I actually managed to slip a feature in the last one, and a monthly E news letter. Hardly Pulitzer prize stuff. I hope you two are doing better.

Been playing grandma all day, revolting hobby. The termite is almost a teenager now, which promises to be slightly more amusing. She wasn't particularly impressed with Cyber Dog in Camden Market when she was seven, but I have high hopes for the return visit. At least she has outgrown the ghastly pink and purple phase and is now totally committed to 'Pirates of the Carribean'; She may develop taste after all smiley - winkeye
Take care and tap soon

I was determined to add only one the official collection. However I appended these for Master B when he was ripping off your idea.

Yeah, well, those I know would almost suggest you're kind of OK.

Just goes to show, dunnit?

So...what we gonna write? I'm getting out of practice...

I think only you could do justice to The story of Shantaram:

Download the podcast interview and have a beer while you listen.

That certainly is quite a tale.

Whether I/we could write it, well, I dunno. Unless we can find other sources and angles (maybe you can suggest some?) it'd just be regurgitation, don't you reckon?

You've got me thinking, though, about someone I know myself who's had a not entirely dissimilar life-experience. OK, not quite that remarkable, but with definite parallels.

Thanks for the beer, btw. The Weddell was pressing wine on me (not literally, I might add). The beer was a much better call.
