[ilds] Amends

[Bruce Redwine]

I am glad to see that some people on this list are making amends to Dr. Anthony Durrell.  The man is owed an apology, and I offer him one.

>Thanks for going into bat for the good doctor. Dr Anthony Durrell is known to me. We have met several times. He is known as 'Doctor Mood' and works out of Macquarue Street Sydney, which is our equivalent of Harley Street in London. In other words he is a top notch psychologist. He is also an amusing, erudite companion with a great knowledge of eastern mysticism, the writings of both Durrells and a healthy libido for wine and the fair sex. He also has a highly developed sense of the piss-take, an expression that will be familiar to English and Australian readers but maybe not be a term used in The United States of Everything. Loosely translated it means to cleverly deflate the pompous, pretentious and overbearing either by word or deed in a largely harmless way. Before meeting Dr Mood, I was very nervous. I was expecting someone in buddist clothing wearing shoes of different colours, but instead I met a stocky Durrell looking man in a well cut pinstripe suit of superior quality, polished shoes of one colour, smart tie and indeed all the hallmarks of a proper doctor. If Dr D is a charlatan, then we all are. I must stop posing as a half decent school teacher
