OTHER NOTES:

thai food...chinese food...this morning i remembered scarlett's police...well three detectives at any rate....telling me that i had to remember what had happened to them in a massive branch of the CARREFOUR french supermarket in shanghai....

well you had an anxiety attack trying to find the way out...it was a bit of a maze...shana had taken me in there and you passed us...one of you said hello to shana or was it me.... and said that you were looking for the way out...shana pointed to the door that we had come through, to enter the supermarket but you didn't appear to hear her or see where she was pointing....

so what happened to you in there? you got hit by a 'tornado' as in webb...who took you into a backroom and made you nibble a bit of dried mushroom...kate and sarah holliday then took you to teh delicatessen display....you know the score...live toads next to a plastic container of writhing tiny snakes...that type of thing...and programmed you with never to touch the lizard type creatures...because they represented themselves....

well - whilst tripping out of your boxes - having been unable to find the exit in that maze (shana was to say that most people got lost and couldn't find their way out for hours - she only took me up one aisle and then we left swiftly - the produce was incredible - absolutely everything that the chinese could ever want or need to cook with - so much fresh and dried produce - i had little or no idea what 99% of it was)...well, i wonder now - if any of you can go into a UK supermarket nowadays and 'stay calm' in relation to deeply buried 'flashbacks' to CARREFOUR programming in shanghai?

yes you had been kidnapped by the HOLLIDAYS...

additionally i can remember shana on her highly protected compound for foreigners...getting immensely annoyed at construction employees dumping a whole load of yellow sand at the end of their cul-de-sac...it spoilt the view....i would guess that the chinese were warning you about something that would happen in the future...and yes, your name had been down on the 'sandpit' list....
secondly i can now remember why my chinese students had put up the cartoon of a pig's face upon a classroom blackboard...it was to remind me of that student  who had looked just like a pig...the one that had nearly managed to murder me by not calling me out of an OBE - whilst i was viewing the dimensions...
