It's all tongue in cheek, look at my conversation with Odette above, right next to yours. I can speak some Mandarin, and I was bragging about it, I don't have to consult my Chinese friends. Mandarin is not a dialect, it is a language. There are some three hundred languages in China - some call them dialects, which I don't believe. If one oke in one city speaks his "dialect " to another oke in another city in China and they simply don't understand each other then that's two different languages - to me. I am now worried about my resemblance to Mao as I can see on the currency here where his face is enshrined. Agh it will probably help me as "they" won't deport me if I screw up on my work permit as they will think I am a re-incarnation. I am often compared with the Buddha. Now THERE'S a compliment.

Take it easy pal I just asked your readers to compare your photo with Mao’s...where does this venom comes from now? I told you that I don’t know Mandarin, you need not to consult your Asian pals to write your malice thoughts in opposition to me in “Chinese dialect nogal ”. I’ll try to be a good passenger. Rod

I try not to take myself seriously too but we’re all human – though I have my doubts about Dubya (amongst others).

Now through in some chocolates and you’re my friend for life.

However, I still yawn at Lynne – preachiness irritates me.
