Saying Hello

[esoteric ed]

Hiya (from a bit of a stranger), I hope you're all doing ok.

I've finally been to the US of A, I survived and I've been catching up on a lot projects since my return (so much for a holiday!).

You may remember I have a passion for JAWS and was heading for the JawsFest 05 event. My trip to America/NY was absolutley Drokking unbelievable, (I'm seriously considering moving there if it's possible) the event itself was beyond everyone's expectations, including the local business' and council.

I've had some piss taking about my fascination with this movie over the years, but the weekend in Martha's Vineyard washed it all away, the friendliness, interviews, gifts, people recognising me in the street (creepy) and even a stalker (more creepy) lol... 30 years of loyalty repaid in full and worth every cent, it was beyond anything I'd hoped for.

Well, sorry for waffling on, I'm a happy man and I just thought I'd pop in and say hello and I hope all is well with everyone.

I was hoping to hear you'd been killed and eaten by a shark so I could say 'well, that's the way he would have wanted to go'.

But as it is, dissapointments aside, welcome back Ed.

I'm glad you told me Max, I was thinking I'd been away longer than I realised.

"16 years and 9 months ago"... lordy, how many times had I seen JAWS by then? ;-)


Dweezil, speaking of boats I did, shall we say "salvage" some bits from the remains of the original Orca :-p

Is that George 'only slightly more popular that Nixon' Bush you are sat next to? Could you not have thrown him to the sharks?
