| For Anita Kelly: I was about to write to ask you why you have not replied to my e-mail sent yesterday but now I can find no evidence that it was ever sent nor any trace of the e-mail itself! So I will write it again. I am Jim Naisbitt of 7, Cunningham Avenue, St Albans, Herts. (0044 [0] 1727 853100) and I am a recently retired UK Chartered Civil Engineer. My e-mail address is on this e-mail and I have a web/blog-site – www.jimnaisbitt.co.uk -which I am trying to resuscitate after about 5 years. More importantly perhaps, I contested the 2004 Euro-election as an independent. That cost me about GBP 15 K (don’t tell my wife!): 5K deposit, 8K printing of my “manifesto” for free distribution by the Post Office then a further 2K trying to sue John Prescott for arranging a form of election (d’Honte proportional representation) which is in general undemocratic (being an issue of the infamous Lib-Lab pact) but specifically in contravention of the Treaty (I think) of Westminster (c 1700?). I would like to learn more about Libertas to see if we have enough common ground for a useful co-operation. Since I spoke to you on the telephone, I have arranged a personal trip from London to Rouen, Paris and Strassbourg – leaving home on Sunday morning 14/dec/08 and returning home on Wednesday evening 17/dec/08. If you think it would be useful, I could arrange my route to call on you in Bruxelles on Tuesday morning 16/dec/08. I would be grateful if you could respond to this suggestion as a matter of urgency as I will need to purchase my ticket early Sunday morning, at the latest. I hope for a reply tomorrow – yes, I know – it’s Saturday but we’re not Moslems! Regards. Jim Naisbitt. |

I was just thinking about you three, after I had been to Lille to see a bit of the Tour de France – more like the Charade de France, I thought but I think it’s getting a bit more serios now they are in the Pyrenees and cycle chains are mysteriously falling of.
What I wrote was supposed to be “stay tuned” (as with a short-wave radio): my little Saudi colleague in Riyadh used to say this when his telephone rang to interrupt our conversation. Well, it might be somebody REALLY important on the line!
Sorry this reply has taken so long – like the EU, eh? Let’s keep in touch. My e-mail address is jim_naisbitt@talk21.com. regards to you three and thanks again for the advice – and, of course, for the beer! regards. Jim (St Albans, UK).
