Just returned from Las Vegas - and quite possibly the best fight of the year - to a cold and rainy Washington DC. But there, on the doorstep, and just about sheltered from the elements, was a padded envelope containing three advance copies of "The Great White Bear." After all this time, it's actually a real book. Feels great, if slightly surreal, to hold it in my hand. UK publication date is January 6; in the US, it's January 12.

How exciting! I will look forward to reading this a lot. It is our work Christmas lunch today, so there is a kind of holiday atmosphere in the office this morning, allowing me to bypass the normal Calvinistic attitude to my job and have a look at your blog, before my 10am meeting. I¡¦ve just read the entry from November which says you will be updating it more regularly for the benefit of people such as me ¡V thank you! I shall now visit it more often.
Also Amir Khan (December 6 blog) is a Bolton Boy so it was interesting to read your brief account of his visit to Las Vegas to fight. The last time I saw live boxing was a match held at the McVities biscuit factory on Stockport Road (Manchester) ¡V it was a very visceral affair. I was surprised to enjoy it as much as I did. There was a big group of us and we all went out for fish and chips afterwards. I guess they don¡¦t have fish and chips in Las Vegas..? Just Elvis impersonators and sky-diving vicars and suchlike. Don¡¦t you call chips ¡¥fries¡¦ or something? You can tell how much I know about the USA ƒº It is frrreeezing here in Manchester today, but nothing like it was in Bolton last week (-12) although snow is forecast for later on today. I hope that you are well. You have my email address from this post ¡V please feel free to get in touch. I¡¦d love to hear from you.
