- You'll be lucky - we're having enough trouble getting him up the M1 to
- Birmingham! (England!)
-
- He was supposed to be visiting us yesterday - but was struck down by a
- mystery virus and cancelled. (sniff.)
-
- However, he should be visiting in a couple of weeks - although given his
- track record I'm not holding my breath. (Not that I could last two
- weeks without oxygen anyway...)
-
- In any case, here's a short guide to getting Douggie to visit :
-
- o Don't ask him to sign anything.
- o Don't ask him to talk about THHGTTG.
- o Don't ask him out to dinner afterwards.
- o Don't make any Surrey Estate Agent jokes.
- o Wait two years (and a couple of weeks).
-
- Good Luck.
