It still looks a little correction facility-ish, but a nice one at that. I wouldn't turn down a chance to stay there, just as long as I didn't have to pay for it.


In truth, it resembles a correctional facility only in its lack of proximity to any form of civilisation that cannot be provided within its own parameters. If you get queasy, as I do, when deprived of theatres and convenience stores and suchlike, and you don't drive, as I don't, well they might just as well have just locked you in.

When you put it that way it does sound like Hell. I don't understand the idea of a resort vacation, spend a large sum of money to be pent up somewhere. Golf, spas and nice rooms can only offer so much, ya know?

well, unless the students surpassed the teacher...it's just another place where Walshy can loll by the pool and order cabana boys around... wait, that doesn't sound so bad :wink:

I always worry a little when the poolside cabaret is a man with an electric piano exhorting folks to singalongajerryleelewis. These are not my people.

Are there that many rabid Pogues fans in Arizona that it's necessary to put you all up in a compound?

It evidently didn't work very well if they buggered off to a U2 concert.


Shonky shoddy FOREIGN made fence no doubt. FOREIGNERS.... it's always them.

Who's U2? Din't that crash in one o' them Commie Varmint countries?

I hope that Gary Powers fella has another hit record soon...

:wink: Or a busy lonely night alone.... but ANYWAY..... that's just... me... then.... :oops: :lol: (can I get a boom-tish! people?)

Hope it gets better real fast. Are you doing double shifts this whole tour with the Rads?

Me too. That's why I've sent you one of the great new special tinfoil hats I got from EricV recently. I must ACTUALLY get in touch with the Mystery Man. Kinda miss his butch macho banter. In a totally non-gay "not that there's anything wrong with that my mother made me a homosexual ooo really if i get the wool will she knit me on too" way. HAH! Honey, don't GO there!
