Who's Saint Paul?

The Japanese Rent Boy association wasn't lost on me.

However, I don't get the connection between 'septic tanks' and 'the colonies'.

And what the hey, I'm naturally verbose. That's why my 'planning' is always double or triple the wordcount of my short stories. Just as well I love editing.


Him who wrote to the Ephesians.
septics, rhyming slang, I gather it's used in the land of Oz.
You didn't comment on the review dump.
At least that wd allow for people to play with their scores while not wiping reviews off the face of the earth (apart from yours which you hang on to).
You're sooooooo organized.

I thought you were joking about the septic tank idea. I don't like it.

That's the first time I've been told I'm organised. I do consider myself quite organised but anyone looking at my workspace doesn't quite get my system. Last time I left a job, my boss gave me a goodbye speech by pointing out that while most people have 'vertical' files I, alone, have a 'horizontal' filing system, spread right across the office floor.

So thank you for noticing.

p.s. I still don't get the rhyming slang thing. Only old fellas use rhyming slang but I think it's the local version rather than the Cockney kind.

Talking of St Paul ... did the Ephesians ever write back?

They did, but there was the usual postal strike
