Well, after consulting an inebriated sage in an Oxford hostelry and about six telephone calls I finally tracked down my mate in Amman and so I shall be jetting off to Jordan for two weeks on 14th April, the week after atp. Calling Jordan from the UK on a mobile is a good way to use up one's credit in one fell swoop. Go forth and make not-so-cheap calls..... Trembling Blue Stars and Tompaulin in Oxford....I thought I'd miss it, but maybe I won't, as I discover that my plane back home from holiday lands at Heathrow at 8.50 in the morning. Good. I suspect I shall have to get hold of some decoffeenated caffeine to ensure that I stay composmentis until the evening though. I need to buy a hat, something with a wide brim which is more substantial than a straw hat but not made of thick material either. This'll serve two purposes; as an identification aid at London Bridge Station en route to All Tomorrow's Parties and to keep the sun off in Jordan. Anyone been to Jordan? Advice on where to go, what to do and what not to do would be greatly appreciated. Go to Petra and Aqaba and don't eat salads is as far as I've got so far. mArk _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
