Well, here I art in Tajikistaneth!
That art thee on the left

The Book Biz art going verily well and I hath brought a lot of Bang! Books unto the kind people here.
Again they art looking after Thee verily well. Lo! They doth bend-eth over backwards to make-eth Thee feel welcome in this far away land.

They hath some verily strange customs. Even though Thee consider-eth thyself well-traveled through thy World Tours with Queen, I hath ne’er been to such a place afore!

I sat down with the men and thy interpreter to discuss book sales but lo, everyone seemed to be distracted-eth. I knoweth not why but all wert to be revealed soon. After some verily animated discussion-eth (they must be fascinated with Thy book! because they keep throwing it into the sky!) who shouldst enter the tent but the nice gentlemen from Afghanistan. He seemeth verily pleased to see Thee!

There wert much commotion and I believe the nice gentlemen wert telling the Tajikistans what a Great God they hath in their presence!

It wert then that they sprung-eth into action and began to treateth Thee with the respect that Thee deserve-eth. Ha ha-eth!

Remember I telleth unto ye of the strange customs? Well, they decideth to literally put Thee upon a pedastal!

So there I wert – Brian the Wise – God, Doctor and Author – strung up for-eth all to see! Many people came to worship before Thee.

But then they decide-eth that I might be cold so they lit a fire beside Thee. It wert verily thoughtful of them, although a little smokey.....for Thee knoweth not what happen-eth next!

Thee must hath passed out from the smoke for Thee awoketh at cockcrow the next day and lo and behold – Thee art in Uzbekisethstan!

This sure art a whirlwind tour!

But that art how things are with the Book Biz!

Cheers,

Bri the Wise
