This will probably mean nothing but now at page116 of Mr Reid's fine book "The Idiot Boy Who Flew", I feel compelled to tell Graham that I and Steve have been to Brunei.We went on the Sultans birthday and it really does make a difference.The whole town has a party for the weekend, concerts through the evening, buildings all draped in colourful lights, with boat and jetskis races.Picnics along the river, The markets across a waterway from our hotel are a weekend delight with water taxis that will take one on rides to view the Palace and the villages in the water. I think it was $2.After 2 hours wandering along the river, we gave the guy $10 and he was truly grateful. Our meal was worthy of a photo. I have never seen such a beautiful giant prawn of which I enjoyed at 10pm upon our arrival. Hospitals are free. A donation of $5 was considered appropriate.The Sunday morning Marketplace lead me up some ancient steps to a grave yard that had some really fascinating/beautiful tombstones and exotic bugs.
So been to Brunei, Bandar Seri Begawan.Didn't go to the movies but. I guess timing is everything. We loved the place, especially after needing a stop on the way home from London. C'est la Vie! :) -
Fuck me that's beautiful. Ta for that.
Sacha, your recommendation came with a stuck full screen computer, with t'other half saying " I can't exit ". It was certainly very cool, in a nsfw kinda way. Excelllent.
Cheers. -
I was really satisfied to send a copy of "My First Stabbing" signed by David Haywood and addressed correctly to my bro, (the recipient) as well as a "Stroke" cd, over to Seattle today as a not forgotten, belated birthday/Xmas pressy.He also got a "Where The Wild Things Are" Puppet.(you had to be there in about 1972 to understand so.) This year has been great for the PAS book collection, and Chris Knox's lyrics to travel. I've also really enjoyed Media 7 and Wallace's Back Benches ( in case Damian is around to read) Plus thanks to PAS, Malcolm showed us the Civic, that was great.Felt so priviledged. Actually all the partying courtesy of RB has been great fun and really cheap so I am very happy 'bout it. All good. :)
So RB, what's up for NYE.It's my birthday. -
I've tried to let Avatar sink in.
That,and now I really must exit.I gotta get outta here.For someone who didn't care to see it, it has now crept into conversations all over the place.Now I am considering going.For that I don't want to know any more .
As you were... -
and then we lost a family member
Well that was a bummer then. Sorry to hear of your loss. We lost 2 family and it really does zap the bejesus out of one (with hindsight). One thing I do appreciate from the mexican side of my family is the celebration of the lives of those you lose.Then the Irish side have a bit of a singalong as well and the many English in my family have really taught me about grieving and really mourning the loss of loved ones.
We have a small circle of fine friends, a larger circle of helpful and forgiving acquaintances, and families who are loving and supportive. I find it sad that so many can’t say such simple things,,
Too true.
Best of luck with all 10kgs of ham. Thoroughly enjoying "The Idiot Boy Who Flew". Who could've guessed. ;) I am wandering across America in your shoes and they feel like my shoes. It's wonderful .Merry Xmas to you and yours xxx

Sorry, couldn't resist. Well I could have, but I didn't ;-)

yes but the man was notoriously desperate to be a star I imagine would've done almost anything he was asked to do:
Ouch!
