(I believe my grandfather was a London Jew ..but I never met him as far as I know!) - but may be it's an erroneous distortion that Scots, Hindus, Jews are tight bastards but a lot of Hindus and other ardent curry munchers are a miserable lot I've noticed BTW...but they are bloody good cricketers (and the present World Chess Champion And is from India)...the Chinese are all very open and mostly quite happy - except the odd mad poet amongst them!!Richard Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10272507198753290435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843316.post-86441543678495823612008-06-02T21:46:00.000+12:002008-06-02T21:46:00.000+12:00Hey it's so cool a small New Zealand company is publishing Jack Ross. <BR/>I've read his books in Canada where they are big. <BR/>Kudos to you for getting such a huge author. <BR/>How did you do it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
