I am reading inteviews with Terry, and listening to interviews with Terry, and I am realising that he must be one of the nicest fellows that ever existed on the face of the earth, right up there with Nick Webb and Douglas. When he says something you just want to smile and be kind to animals.


In the family Terry is sometimes referred to as "mother hen", if he didn't know this before he probably does now. When Douglas died Terry was in the States and flew over to Santa Barbara and booked himself into a local hotel. He would then arrive at the house in the morning/afternoon and evening and ensure that we all sat down to eat a meal, then he would clear up and quietly return to his hotel.

Yep, one of the nicest.


I just KNEW he's the Messiah! (I remember you telling me this years ago, but I had forgotten. Just brought a tear to my eye. Thanks.)


Yes, there are some people that you can just tell are genuinely lovely people. You should add Sir David Attenbourgh to that list Dukey, he always seems to be lovely to me.

That is absolutely brilliant, SEP.
Mr Jones would be tickled pink to see that.

My Dad walked in when I was busy photoshopping... He looked alarmed then went to tell my mum that I was 'looking at pictures of naked Pythons in my bedroom' :oops:

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think it would be really cool to give TJ a framed print of SEP's pic as a momento of his chat.

What ya think, Dookey, can it be done?

I'd be happy to print it up and frame it ... just let me know where to send it. Is this the highest res version, SEP?

Do you want me to neaten it up though? It's a little scrappy at the moment, especially around his arms... I can't find higher res image anywhere else though, sorry.
Good news though, my Dad is away this week so he won't happen to venture into my room whilst I'm photoshopping...

I wouldn't worry about it until we find out whether or not we have a way of getting it to him.

Well, according to this he is doing a book signing tour around the UK this summer, but it would be a bit freakish just to turn up and hand something to him, me thinks
