Fifty lashes for buggery apparently - twice that if you were an officer, which would be enough to deter anyone, I reckon.
If 6 of the 7 dwarves were not Happy, does that prove that dwarves are generally an unhappy lot?

Harrry who? Is he a prince?
Two books on the go now, "Comrades and Strangers, Behind the Closed Doors of North Korea" by Michael Harrold.
He was the first Brit to live and work in North Korea for seven years as a language adviser for English translation of speeches for the Country's president.
Anyone read this? Well worth it.
"Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks. Its quite good so far. The writing is top notch. I always like the pick-n-mix aspect of book swap places in guesthouses.

Moon Lander Champion!I'm on books that are commerically written by ghosts, aimed at the NY times bestseller list (for a week), fast-paced thriller types at the mo-mo.
I'm digesting them like lettuce. <burp>
"Pandemic" the current one is called, I think. It has what I'm after.
Don't tell the Thais.
blinding mate...really, really good. third time i've read it, never tires. such a a good writer, such fun, such madness!
"so please show no pity as we come up from the ground, and please remember as you kill us and cut us down that time will not wash clean the bloody face of history, and someone will breathe here again and they will hate you for what you leave." m.g.
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad - even though it's only 110 pages it's taking me a wee while to get through it but well worth it. Before that I read The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison which was a thoroughly enjoyable book - I couldn't understand people who had said that it was hard going - so descriptive and thought-provoking.

That's something that I've really missed having not been on holiday for two years, not even a honeymoon. I'm going to have to persuade The Wife to be a bit more adventurous.
