Haha so good Terry!! I can hear the voice so perfectly, and the ridiculous extrapolation into the paranormal.

In all seriousness, the repetition of "Could it be that Terry had ..." worked so perfectly. With each new version of that my smile got broader and broader.

Cheers, Nathan. Yes, I think it does possess a sort of poetic cadence. Purely unintentional. I mean, it was meticulously researched and crafted to produce the most sonorous effect 😁

Love all the questions! I can hear Rod Serling's voice (again), asking them in his mysterious voice. Also had to chuckle at the dapper description of you in the cafe, as well as the description of the chai. I'm 100% sure you're incredibly dapper in the real - it was just so good. Still smiling.
