Re: I met Vaclav in New York!
I'm so sorry to hear you encountered such trouble so soon after our delightful lunch together.
Judging from your description, you had a run-in with chavs. Was any Burberry in evidence?

I, too, like your poem, Miles.
If you go to New York and meet Vaclav, you will not walk down the street wearing a frown. Indeed, I believe you will enjoy his company a great deal.

Re: I met Vaclav in New York!
My family has a saying handed down through the generations: "Better a drunkard than a mime."
Actually, that's a pure fabrication, but it sounds impressive.
Stick to your verses and don't risk bodily harm and social ostracism by miming, not that you were tempted.
