I'll try and hurry up re the party - promise. Where is you neck of the woods exactly? If you are anywhere near London, perhaps we could do coffee sometime as I visit there once a month, sometimes oftener.<BR/><BR/>Rol, that sounds a most effectual tactic.

I guess all my writer friends and their experiences have put me off rather, though I am in a second short story anthology soon - more anon.<BR/><BR/>Funnily enough Brother Tobias that thought crossed my mind too - the guy was born in a stable. What did we expect?

Little hope for humankind there.<BR/><BR/>Quite so Moi, let's have more targetted genocide on HR people, middle-managers, accountants, lawyers etc. I don't pretend to understand about the squirrel wars, but I did LOVE (and envy) their wonderful photo-doctoring skills. Hope they didn't cause you too much hassle.
