sad day indeed , lots of Sri Lankan catamites will now have to find real jobs,
on a different note , watching 2001 Space Odessey on a big screen whilst stoned is an experience no youngster should miss :cool:

I can't believe I didn't see this anywhere in the news! I've been living under a rock too long. Quality, well-respected British writer, some say one of the best 3 sci-fi writers ever - up there with titans like H.G.Wells and Isaac Asimov.

To hell with youngsters, I still do it ... (Also with "Apocalypse Now," "Pulp Fiction" etc.) Along with Asimov and Heinlein and many others he is one of the greats of SciFi.
