Ho hey... Captain,,, Billions of bilious blue blistering [bloody] barnacles eh!! Good to see you cruising as ever. Your Christmas fare appears to have finished on a decided high - boozing around, eh! Had a few too many perhaps! Those martini/scotch shots! Mine was quite a humble affair - nothing significantly noteworthy, except a few dos that I went to but I'd been doing quite a bit of travelling about myself for most part of last month - the sole reason for my keeping away from Sajha apart from well, "Polo, golf, girls" :):), and skiing! I read elsewhere, they have recently produced a musical with your character (Haddock - the bearded Navy Capt) and the eponymous Tin-tin in it, currently being staged in one of the West End theatres in London. Jolly good eh! Carpe diem
