Bob's a devious man and usually comes out smelling of roses, but this time it looks as if he may have bitten off more than he can chew.  If this was just about Ellie you'd believe he'd pull it off but with Vinny, Benny and Jimmy lurking in the background I'd reckon his chances as being no more than 35% - coincidentally the same percentage as the funding for the book as has been raised to date.

So I'm looking for a further 65% to get this thing over the line.  And if you indulge me then whether or not when Bob gets over the line it's in a bodybag or with his having pulled off the great escape will be revealed.

A big thank you to all who have pledged so far.
