Apologies all for the delay re my/our meeting with SW. This was postponed for a variety of reasons, on both sides, until Tuesday, when my wife and I are shouting lunch for the three of us. I shall report back asap, with S's approval, of course, very shortly thereafter.
Naturally we shall go armed with all manner of 'persuaders'. Al Capone always reminded us that, 'You get more with a kind word and a gun that you do with just a kind word." With that In mind, my trusty demountable AK47 will be secreted about my person, along with a phial of scopolamine and other aids, including, but not limited to, my attack dog, the fluffy-looking but nevertheless vicious Maltese terrier/terrifier. There will naturally be a very bright light, eyes for shining into and some pliers, teeth and fingernails for the pulling out of, and so on and so forth and fifth. 'Er Indoors is most adept at the Chinese burn, of distant but fond memory, so, all-in-all, it should be a most convivial affair and most assuredly not unsettling for the other patrons. We certainly don't want to frighten the horses.
On a slightly more serious note, I'm sure I'll come away with insider-trading information such as the whereabouts of the 4 or 5 economic Kimberlites and other such learnings. Unless the beans are completely and utterly spilt, my work will have been in vain and I shall retire with my tail tucked firmly between my legs.
Stay tuned
