Esperanto

I've always been a big fan of apartied. Yes, yes... I know what you're thinking: "Who isn't?". Exactly.

Of course, I am talking about my book again. Chapters five through to twelve deal almost exclusively with my battle with alcohol, a battle that ended in a draw and my liver dripping out of my arse. Great days. Here's a brief glimpse:

"How many times would I wake like this? David was firmly asleep on the pillow next to mine, his wrinkled forehead holding back all of those countless posh characters he'd play in films.

After a quick slug of gin and a gold watch or two I was ready to work-out why cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs was fast asleep in my Belfast sink. I tried to remember the night before... a wheelchair... Henry Fonda trying to raffle off his daughter Jane... John Lennon teaching me how to make pure heroin out of grout... it was no good, I would never know why Laszlo was there. But whilst he was asleep I pushed myself deep..."

I'm afraid that's all you get for free, my dears, for the time being anyway.
