Manhattan, here I come. I've been wide awake since three in the morning and I'm not going to get a chance to sleep, I don't think, before meeting Ricochet member Jonathan Gilbert tonight here to see how these guys stack up to the Turkish competition. Got questions about Thatcher and Thatcherism, Turkish foreign policy, the Muay Thai clinch? Come join us and we'll see what we can do to sort you out. I'll be a little tired, but that's okay. At least I won't have to pull off this act in a highly inflected and agglutinated Ural-Altaic language.

I don't know about Muay Thai, but your friend Babur took a serious licking on Rico and Facebook whilst you were winging your way home.

You were polite, I trust?

Sweetness and light. Building a bridge to common understanding.

Oh, I don't know about the disadvantages of agglutination. In Turkey I say Her öğrendiğim şeyi unuttum and it disarms everybody every time!

Or so you think. It's Manhattan. Anything can happen.

Such a coastal snob, Claire. And isn't Babur king of the Elephant People?

Have fun tonight, Claire and Jonathan. My parents have descended on me and my daughter just had her wisdom teeth out. Sadly I will miss the clinching and kicking and stuff.
