I dunno about Mike Moorcock. I've only met the guy a couple of times so
I can't claim to know him, but when he said he wouldn't work with Doug
Smith again on anything, I believed that it's quite simply the truth. I
hail from the Borders, and people there hold grudges over family
generations, so I do have a little experience in recognising this.

There's enough of the Borders in me that I admire it, while at the same
time recognising that it's precisely what creates countries like Ireland
and the Balkans.
