Poor Jimmy! I hope he and Julie did manage to be in Paradise once or twice after their Waterloo assignations.

What always intrigues me

This is so uplifting, Lore, and a wonderful take on the IP. I love the pear analogy (although quite a fan of pears myself, I get the point!). I am going to show this to a family member who is going through a bit of a tough time at the moment,...
