When romancing a wee Chinese lass does a Scotsman forget his pint of ale. Watching Ian watson give full reign to his assumed chat up powers in the Island Bar only the other day, I was staggered to see the gargantuan Scotsman leave his full pint of ale untouched for up to half an hour. The young Chinese lass, who was friendly and VERY tolerant, had to remind the corpulent Scottish lothario to have a sip of ale othertwise it would go flat. But Ian kept rabitting on with an intensity not seen since Sean Connery tried his luck with Honey Rider in Doctor No. Anyway after 45 minutes I decided to escape the unending flow of words from the veteran Scottish journalist and friendly long standing Lamma resident to retreat to the quieter environs of Dan Kwai Fong.
