I read it when I was about 15
Loved it - didn't James Clavell also write something odd like a James Bond screenplay?

Edit - Anjin San, his daughter was in "Octopussy"

Is he now, or has he ever been, in a heavy metal band with Neil Buchanan?

Ask AA's granddad.
He told his dad in 1964 that one day NB would be in a metal band. AA was told this on his 8th birthday.

Seriously?
It's one of the best TV programmes ever made. It has Toshiro Mifune in it - and the bloke who took over the role of Pigsy in Monkey who wasn't half as good. It also has Jim Carver from The Bill in it - and there are some beeeautiful Japanese actresses too.

It's loosely based on a true story. I fucking love Shogun.

Japanese? Of the same sort of standard as her from Boris?
