[Charlie Farley]

The memory thing comes (or goes, to be more precise) with age, Dancing. Personally, I`ve no idea whether my memory is what it was ; I can`t remember.

You`re not Michael Portillo going incognito, are you Charlie? Thanks for the offer re the book, but I think I`ll pass. Mind you, if you`ve got anything on myths and legends of the Ming dynasty in 16th century China - now you`re talkin` !!!!

How`s Piggy doing these days, by the way?

I would like Portillo's job but not his wardrobe . I also take bigger steps than him ( who doesn't   ) but am practising aloofness when talking to plebs and working class people . 

Am well prepared and informed on the Ming dynasty and his musical brother Sting .

I'll hang onto the book but you may have missed your chance  . . . . . .
