There'll be no political careers for me, though TAT is thinking of dipping his wick. The public eye definately ain't for me. Daddyo; €10,000?!?! I haven't even graduated to donkey status yet. I think I'll stick to prostitution... Sam; It's too late... I've already burned my soap box on the beach with 20 litres of diesel and 5 car tyres. There's far too much talk in this world without my adding to it. Baino; Oh don't worry... my drug knowledge is borne from 'Trainspotting' and 'The Wire' only, for I am a true innocent. My heroin experimentation will come on the day I'm declared terminal. You have a wonderful voice and presence for chairing meetings, of which I'm so jealous! I'm a mumbler and seem to be staying that way. Medbh; My community doesn't seem to care, yet. I think my future speaking endeavours won't be wasted on the mature... we'll be hitting the schools now, it makes more sense! Thriftcriminal; Whoa… slow down there kiddo!

It's actually harder speaking to a small group than an audience of 500 where the law of averages says you'll hear at least the sound of one hand clapping! I chair a monthly board meeting and it's like being in front of the Spanish Inquisition! Besides my obvious concern for your knowledge of drug induced euphoria . . kudos to you.

It's interesting you should compare the relief after public speaking to heroin. I had to introduce myself with a few words at a book group the other day in one of these excruciating getting-to-know-you in a circle things. I felt some mild euphoria when I was done, not unlike a hit of marijuana. It was a gateway public-speech I reckon. Now I feel I want to try the hard-stuff, to do a whole seminar, for a truly out of this world high. I expect it will all end when they find me cold, ragged and dead at Hyde Park Corner, a bottle of gin in one hand and a 3000 page Treatise On Sino-Franco-Hebridean Relations And The Threat To Philately" in the other. Bravo, K8!
