Releasing Don

OK, now we have to address the burning question, what's hapenned to Don? I'm sure Don's plight has gripped the world in a "who shot JR" sort of way over the last week and I can now reveal all in the final episode of this saga. As readers who have been with us from the start will recall, Don was leased from a donkey ride operator on Brighton beach by Meister just before we came away. Along with some industral strength laxatives and a length of strong rope this was to be Hodge's birthday surprise as we set him and Don marauding down Wanchai main street. We did start to feel sorry for Don though and felt it was unkind to subject him to this, we had no such worries about Hodge of course.

So we've granted Don his wish and set him free. He wasn't really happy in the stables we selected for him and had already moved in with Donna, a Jenny that he met and fell in love with on a night out in Wanchai. He now wants to stay, marry Donna and apply for Hong Kong residency so Meister will have some explaining to do to that bloke on Brighton beach. We had a bit of a whip round to send the happy couple on their way but I'm not sure how long it will last in this city. Don has already been spotted down at the Star Ferry Terminal with a sign reading "Will Bray for Hay". So all our best wishes to Don & Donna as they set out on their new life together (and while we're at it we should probably say the same to Selby & Ginny who tied the knot on the day we left).
