Oh no problem Lil Jimmy. I read it whilst waiting for a flight. It was the best 99cents I ever spent. A must read for everyone here

Left you a nice review at Amazon.

Wowzer. Thanks again.

I wondered who did that last review. It did my self-esteem no end of good!

And some nice ideas there, BB...could get a whole chapter out of that Thursday night waiting at junctions for a taxi...

His is best known for the 15,145-page "The Story of the Vivian Girls, in what is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion." My 15,146-page "The Story of the Pally Girls, in what is Know as the Realms of the Unbelievable in the Pseudo-Chinese Embassy, of the Sino-Caucasian Mingling, Caused by the Excess of Nickers over Knickers" is a work in progress.

Maybe you should start preparing "One Year in Wonderland part Deux—A tale of the Inedible in Abu Dhabi".

Or you could try to rival Sylvia Plath's posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for "I Hate Alliteration".
Amazingly, I absolutely abhor arbitrary alliteration, alas.
