Hey, Col … you know the association between Mumbai and Portsmouth (Pompei)? Ask, and I’ll tell you.
I live in a pleasant room, too (got to get connected). When it gets dark the lighting is really bad, although it helps when I switch the light on. Inspired, I took a photo of it, but it was dark and the photograph suggested as much. I don’t have a ceiling fan, but the floor has a few followers, one of whom is very enthusiastic. I saw a poor child in the street two days ago. I was moved by pity, and bought his fags for him from the newsagent. Little bastard didn’t even say thank you.
Feels as though I’m doing the same thing as you. Nowhere to dive around here, but I pushed my head under the water while taking a bath, yesterday. Held my breath for more than a minute; I didn’t see any fish, or coral (or even an old supermarket trolley). Nothing there, ‘though it got fuzzy and strange due to oxygen depletion. Worried I might suffer from the bends when I surfaced, but was okay. Lucky, I guess. I’m going to take an experienced guide with me next time. No point in taking any chances.

Nick, keep up the random comments I am so loving them. I am officially a fan of fox comments. Genius. At least we can get away on this forum without upsetting too many coorporate design agencies.
