there's nothing wrong with being unoriginal at times glad you like my writing. of course, i'd do it even if no one wanted to read it, but it's noce to kill two apples with one stone (vegetarians don't kill birds) you're writing a film too? cool! are you enjoying it? i'm finding mine a lot of work but a lot of fun. it's a crime mystery with a twist. actually it's more twist than crime, but never mind i'd love to meet you too. isn't the summer of 2005, like, now? or pretty soon anyway. you lucky thing, i wish i was there now. i always wishi was there. specially with news of paul in london!

i highly doubt i'll see him, but it's worth a shot. things are different in new zealand aren't they? don't you have summer there when we have winter here? and vice versa? well, it's nice to at least talk to you, i always wanted to meet someone from new zealand or australia. anyways, changing topics again (i do that alot) im departing for london on june 2nd so yes, very soon i will be there (i'm ecstatic, i've always wanted to go to europe) ill be in london until the 6th i think, then we go to paris, then rome, then home. (hey that rhymes!) don't be worried im always this insane, i guess it helps that im listening to lucy in the sky with diamonds though and yes, im enjoying my movie very much, it's great fun writing it. most everyone whose read it thinks its pretty funny. i'll tell you what, if you want, when im finished, ill email to you.

exciting Ringo11...!!! I wonder how this develops.... I think you and Paul are very very very close friends.... and it could easily change into a real love-affair
-
Great story Ringo11. I always look forward to it.

yeah, NZ is backwards. we drive on the wrong side of the road (get used to it cos they do that in UK too) and we have winter when you have summer. oh, and we all walk around on our heads if you really want to meet a kiwi, as far as i can gather at least half the young population of london is from down here. i had a mate who was on the tube and discovered that all but 4 of the people in a full car of people were from down under. paris is lovely at this time of year. i was there in 98 you know never been to rome though, you'll have to tell us all about it. great to hear you're enjoying writing as much as i am. hey, maybe your script will hit the big screen one day and i'll be able to say i knew you when you first started out i haven't been able to do any 1959 recently because i've been doing a film studies essay, but as soon as there's something to post you guys will be the first to know
-
wouldn't walking around on your heads all the time give you a headache? but don't you worry, ill tell you all about rome, and also i get to see Vatican City and maybe even the new pope! and if my movie does hit the big screen, i'll make sure i dedicate it to Ringo 11 and all the other great people on the Paul McCartney forums when i get my oscar. looking forward to the next chapter and good luck on your essays.

Nice one! Incidentally, did you make Celia up or was she a real girlfriend? The name seems familiar and I know you do a lot of research. J

lol you're on to me, i can see that actually, i went to school with a girl called celia, and so when i read that paul had had a girlfriend with the same name i thought Ah HA! so i had to use it. just the name though, the rest is made up. i think he was with her when he was 16 or 17, so it sort of fits though

FIFTY-THIRD INSTALLMET You and John go to meet Paul and George when they get out of school. You lurk about outside the gates as you watch a horde of uniformed boys stream out and go their various ways. You spot Paul first, in the crowd. He?s checking over his shoulder to see that no teachers are watching as he takes off what appears to be a uniform jacket and hands it to another boy. On another paranoid look around he spots you and John and says goodbye to the other boy as he makes his way over to you. ?Bastard charged me half a bob for borrowing his spare bloody jacket,? he says. ?Seen George?? ?No,? says John, but you?ve spotted him in the crowd. You notice how scruffy he looks in his uniform as you wave him over. He sees you and sneaks up behind Paul. He tickles one side of Paul?s neck and when Paul looks around no one?s there. George is standing on the other side grinning. Paul laughs. ?Oh, I say, hello old chap,? he greets the scruffy George in a posh accent. ??allo mate. Ours it ?angin??? George replies in his very best Cockney. ?Very well, thank you.? ?How did you explain the absence of Mr James P McCartney then?? John asks Paul. ?Oh, I just had some kid write me out a note saying I?d come down with something. He did the signature real good like,? he says that last bit with a thick Geordie accent. ?Ah, did he did it real good?? George joins the Geordie game. ?Yeah. Mate.? ?Mate.? John catches George?s eye and gives him a meaningful look. Somehow George understands perfectly. ?What now then eh?? asks John. ?Er, I?ve, er got to get straight home, as it were,? says George. ?Me mam?s got dinner ready early cos of, er, our Sharon.? He hurries off to the bus. ?Well, we might as well go home too, see if our kid?s got the dinner on,? says Paul, and you and he follow George leaving John standing there. When you look back to see what he?s going to do, he winks at you. When you get through the throng of schoolboys and around the corner to begin the walk to the bus George is nowhere to be seen. You go look up the street and back around the corner, scanning the sea of school caps, but neither of you can see him. ?He must have forgotten something,? Paul says with a shrug. When the bus arrives you follow Paul upstairs and take a seat right at the front of the deserted upper deck. The view is great. You feel like some sort of bus god. ?So how was your day?? you ask, but what you?re really thinking is ?Why did you suddenly run off to school for the first time in over a week?? ?Oh, alright I spose,? he replies, his mind obviously somewhere else. ?I got in trouble for not having me cap a few times?? ?Paul, listen,? you say. He looks at you. ?We need to talk,? you tell him. ?Okay, go ahead,? he says. ?It?s about Celia.? ?Ce-? Celia?? What about Celia?? ?That?s what I want to talk about.? ?Been talking to John then I see. Okay, well I?ll tell you about Celia. There isn?t much to say mind. She?s an art school bird who I met through John last year some time. We went out together a couple of times. I don?t know what you?ve been told but I?d forgotten about Celia because I haven?t seen her for months. She even gave up ringing me because I had our kid tell her I was out every time she rang,? he explains. You laugh. ?Okay, sorry. I didn?t think I had anything to worry about but the way your friends go on and on, well I never know with them.? Now he shifts his position on the seat so he?s facing you as much as possible. He scratches his nose and then looks you straight in the face. ?I?? he begins, and changes his mind. He smiles. ?You?re the only girl for me, love,? he says. You laugh at him. ?Is there anything else you need to say while we?re talking?? he jokes. ?Well actually?? you say seriously. You?ve got his attention. ?Well I think it was C.S. Lewis who said you can?t ignore something that happens three times,? you say. You have a habit of being a little too cryptic sometimes. ?Three?? What the hell are you on about?? says Paul. ?Sorry. I don?t mean to be mysterious like that. I mean, you know John has been bugging you about, well about us?? ?He told you that too then? Well I never said a word!? ?Yeah, that?s what he said. I never said a word either. In fact, I don?t think we?ve really said that much to each other, if you know what I mean,? you say. ?Yeah. You?re right. But I don?t know what to say,? says he. ?I know what you mean? Listen to us will you! We?re just sitting here beating about the bush. We?ll be home before either of us actually says anything proper,? you say. ?Well I don?t want to push for anything that you don?t want, you know.? ?I don?t know what I want. There?s a film,? you divert for a second, ?called What Women Want. It?s about a guy who can hear the thoughts of women he?s near. He does a whole lot of mean stuff, but in the end I think the moral is that even women don?t know what women want,? you say. Both of you laugh. ?Well that?s why we?re talking, isn?t it? So we can work out what both of us want,? he points out. ?Yeah. You?re right? You go first,? you insist. ?Alright, but it doesn?t take a genius to work out what I want,? he says, and grins. ?You guys are all the same,? you joke. ?Well?? he asks expectantly. ?Well what?? ?Okay, let me get you started then,? he offers. ?You feel the same way about me as I do about you. But we both know there?s a problem.? The bus goes past the Penny Lane area. ?You are from the future, against all blimin odds. You travel back in time and meet me. I?m born in 1942. You?re born in 19?86 wasn?t it?? You nod, but still don?t say anything. ?That makes me 44 years older than you, round about. That means you know my future too, probably.? You look blank. ?And you?re not going to tell me. But if you do, there?s probably another problem right there like. How am I doing so far?? he asks. ?About right,? you answer. ?Okay. But like you said, three, er, romantic encounters can?t really be ignored. So we have to? I don?t know. And you?re right. What if you suddenly do more time travel or whatever? It?s not like we can write each other.? ?Or email each other,? you mumble. ?Eh?? ?Nothing.? The bus stops. Paul looks out the window and sees his stop. He looks at you and you follow him off the bus to his house. So much for progress.
