Hey Wogga - I dearly hope you're jesting - without the whacky (baccy fuelled?) surrealism of the likes of you and Sac in Oz this board would be a less amusing escape from the daily dirge of life.
M is just doing his job as he construes best - he threw an entire pramload of toys at me recently (I think he misinterpreted the plot - but I'll concede my sense of humour is a little off the wall) but that was all it was - a difference in interpretation. That applies here, too - not everyone thinks the same, thank heaven.
Now do I have to book a JAL flight and shag you into changing your mind? Could I threaten you with anything worse to turn you around? You have been warned! Ok so a geisha girl might suit me better - and if you can fix me up with Princess Masako, better still (she's cute!) - but don't quit. As our Japanese Ambassador you provide the board with essential balance - and you know you would miss it...
