So I'm working from home now. Got up this morning and came over with a panic attack thinking I was late for work. Then a voice in my head said I was already there - phew.

So I got up, had a coffee, checked emails and spent a couple of hours editing the Fourth Reich.

Posted 19th December 2012 at 10:47 PM by Gary Compton

So everyone knows I call my wife the Ball and Chain. This goes back to my 'Stag do,' where my mates clamped a real iron ball and chain to my leg.

The Bar Stuards let me go home with it fitted. Under the influence of copious amounts of alcohol, I tried to hacksaw it off, nearly ending up with one leg during the attempt.

Possibilities of a Chrons Anthology...

The Compton's new publishing company is being setup as we speak. (details coming soon)

I will be setting an advertising budget as well....

It's a year. Do you think I'm losing my mind?

Anyway my leg, arm and knee are alot better. I'm taking up ballroom dancing and javelin throwing just to build up the muscles to where they were before.

I think I'll look lovely in my sequinned frock - do you not?
