I'm sorry. Feel free to delete the thread and recreate it if you want the by-line. I have no problem with that.

I think Boris would want us all to raise a vodka in his memory.

From Cthulhu Lite FM, by Tom Smith.

The Chinese Army was one billion men,
But just one hour later, he was hungry again;
The Russians fell to madness and ooze,
Although ironically Yeltsin went sane, and then swore off booze.

No doubt. Perhaps the funeral will be postponed, due to excessive drunkedness on the part of the corpse. . .

I was lucky to meet him back in my previous life working for military Intelligence back in the 80's. One of my brushes with famous people.

I got a picture taken from the air. It's a bit grainy, though; those darn photographers have too small of a budget. :(
