Finally in Canada – WITH NO CIGGIES
Hello avid readers – god this must be dull if your not me. I did write a rant against Zoom – but I’ve left it at the hotel. Just as well really as it’s no doubt libellous. As would any comment on the hotel room which is one square yard by my reckoning with a postage stamp window onto the air-con system. Still moving tomorrow.
Toronto seems nice enough, by the way, just the usual North American food (and added tax) thing going on. Paul McCartney was just starting his show as I arrived. I often fill in on backing vocals for him since Linda’s demise, so was happy to do so again. Frankly I think I saved the show…
However, real news for those who are interested – Hello Pauline Murphy – is I now haven’t smoked for 36 hours. Not promising anything at this stage, but it’s a start. Off to spend the money I’m saving on beer – that is how it works, isn’t it?
Mark – thanks for comments. Tickets booked – get to Jasper Monday – See you next Thursday I Think…
Anyone know of a good base in Jasper for three nights?
Bye

Well done on the no ciggies front. Not like you to have an airline complaint. Didn’t realise you were flying Zoom, could’ve told you…

Hi Mark,
You’ll have to explain bear bells – not going to be cold is it?

Hi John
What time will you arrive in Kamloops next Thursday? Are you still travelling by train from Jasper to Kamloops? If you come across a bear, you are supposed to jangle your bells and the bear will not bite your head off!!! Easy concept really.

Ive got a mixing desk recording of Lindas backing vocals on Hey Jude. Her voice is almost as good as yours. Good luck with the fags, sorry cigarettes.

Now clearly interested in who Fidel might be. Based in Canada – knows my glorious voice – reference to fags. Were you at St Anselms?
Mark still plan to be i n that general area at that general time, perhaps even the exact time we discussed. Just keeping some options open at the moment. Will talk Tuesday at the latest.
Will the bear dance to the bells?

One type of bear you should run away from and the other you should stand still. I always get them mixed up!!!!

Fidel seems to have posted from UK, not Canada. My money would be on Mallinson or Murphy.

Wilful misunderstanding of irony points the finger somewhere…
