Mine will shortly be over. End of June is the plan. I can then return to Christendom or as the cynics might say ,to post-Christian Scotland.

Yes, I recall how they captured you on that galley crossing the Med and sold you in the slave markets of Jiddah. I think it was made into a movie... Cool

"I think it was made into a movie."

Which, unfortunately, had a XXX rating, bypassed the theaters and went straight to CD.

It can't have been as exciting as the life of Thomas Pellow...

Some of my fellow captives have "turned Turk" and are perfectly happy to stay here.

Only to pass into the land north of the Picts Wall. Will you still visit the internet?

In limbo awaiting Final Exit before heading to the Lands of the North.

We are in the process of extricating ourselves from what our masters still call "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

I am pleased to report that I have escaped from the Moors and have been granted free passage through the territory of the BULGARS. I am currently in the Christian city named after Philip of Macedon.

I swear by the Five Wounds of God that I shall never again return to the Lands of the Moors !

Dear scot47,

Free at last, free at last, thank Allah almighty, you're free at last.

(but let's not forget this: "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.")

because you're now also "free" to go hungry, not have a roof over your head, and sleep in doorways.

Unless, that is, you've been more ant than grasshopper.
Very Happy

Regards,
John
