Thanks. This is the last week of rewriting. Mainly because I'm going to have to write the last 6 episodes myself because no one else can write the frigging thing!

Yep. It's all too true, unfortunately. All too terrifyingly true. The business here is mad enough, but nowhere near as mad as over there.

It would be okay if you could like bounce into Hollywood and bounce out again with a few million. I mean some of those hotshot young directors and writers who'd been sidelined didn't seem too distressed that their one and only commercial production flopped.

Hollywood is a bizarre place. Writers can earn a huge - and I mean HUGE - income writing scripts that are never produced for various reasons. Ultimately, subject to their sensibilities, they get very frustrated. If they don't, they lack sensibility.

People like Baz Luhrman have it worked out nicely. Live here, take their money, make the films mainly here. To achieve that position, you need a track record, which he has created.

Ms finbar:

"So Horse" she swigs a glas of wine, " why do you think ceding a city is OK in a non-alliance game?"

Horse (Mr Ed):

"Well, I had a choice... I could have taken the city Makeo took off deity but that would have depleted my resources so it was easier for Makeo to just give me the city."

LOL!

It's true! Go figure!!

Ms finbar will back me up IF she remembers...???

Ahh, dinner at finbars = a delight

With out saying a word logic outweighed nonsense

Ms finbar, I have to tell you, is less than impressed with your use of the verb "swig" in relation to a glass of wine. "Guzzle", she wouldn't have had a problem with, but "swig" is just plain offensive.

Besides which, she says she has absolutely no recollection of the conversation you quote. As I pointed out to her, the dining table is solid timber and it's hard to hear much when you're under it.

Well, she might not have used those words but that was the drift of the question (it might have been a quizzical look perhaps after finbar brought up the issue!) and Horse's answer is almost exact
