Fi Tuffy, Emgee and Evan...

[Wahalla]

I know u guys will appreciate this.... Fledg could always write, his knowlege base is humbling, his turn of phase is better than his ancestor Pardo Bardazan or his old name Lope de Vega.... Here it was up there with Hearne and Cargil....

My comment to him was

unreservedly brilliant!!!! Subtle, sublime....Like a fine seggar....a bottle of Monticello or a Tobermory 32 year old...

U should do oped pieces as u did twenty odd years....

(This is hte first time he has ever written a piece and I cannot find something to be critical of... I will reread!!!!)

second thing is that i am fascinated with the BBC adaptation of Trollope's THE WAY WE LIVE NOW...absolutely fantastic with David Suchet in the role of the German "financier" who tries to buy his way into British society...u have got to watch it on Netflix

U are not the first to make that same incorrect assumption! Though I understand how easily it is to make that one!
