Thanks gents, I hope you enjoyed it even half as much as I did out in the paddock.
Madworld, thanks for your compliments. I have always been fascinated by languages and how literary greats could structure and fashion it to forge a story and have you almost living the tale. The French have a term for it, I can remember what it is right now because I don't speak French, but writers including Fitzsimons and Roland Perry and many others use it most effectively to drag you into the story where you almost become a participant rather than a mere observer. I like such an approach and it influences how I recount and form my narratives.
Years of study and writing hundreds frikkin essays and papers hasn't hurt and at the moment I am writing training materials and vet the written submissions of others. Sometimes it can become a punish but, for me it's like building or making something out in the shed. You stand back when you are done with a beer in hand and look at your work and take pride and satisfaction in what you have been able to achieve for yourself or for the benefit of others.
Also Madworld, I could not let it go without mention, the song of your name's sake, Gary Jules' version was one that was something of a theme for the RAMSI mission in the Solomon Islands. The lyrics have a disturbingly close affinity with events and conditions on the ground- It's a mad world......
