that's a bit of a bozo moment...

and a real smack in the face for me, seeing one of my literary heroes looking like a seedy old perv. Hohum.

Oh, dear, David! What were you thinking?!

It's good to hear that no one was hurt, and to see that he maintained his dry sense of humour in the comments he made about his self confessed moment of madness. I'm beginning to see who he modelled Mandorellan on!!! There must be a touch of Arendish blood in David's veins.
