Vine hears that Douglas Gautier, the charming and affable deputy

executive director of the Hong Kong Tourist Association, has joined the

seemingly endless procession of people who have slipped through the exit

door in recent months.



We also hear that Douglas, who has a long and glorious history in

communications in Asia, has just one regret: that Vine has yet to give

him "the treatment" that others have been blessed with.



Let it not be said that we are deaf to the pleas from our audience:

Douggie, baby, "The Thunder From Down Under" - this one's for you!



Mwaah, mwaah.
