More Giles Darby excerpts .......his daughter frequently wrote him letters to let him know what they'd been up to at school in the UK
The book is all over the place . On the day Giles and his two colleagues were being extradited to Texas from the UK, he reflects on the previous night's 'farewell party' - he was upset as he had no idea when he'd see friends or family again. Back to extradition day, Giles and his colleagues were transported to Gatwick airport in a police van. They were handcuffed to Marshalls on the plane (he complains about it being an 'economy flight'
![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
).When they got through immigration, Giles said he looked like a Guantanamo Bay inmate in cuffs and shackles - he felt 'degraded by America, treating him this way (fond memories of Americahhh eh Elle?). After a lot of legal wrangling, the three spent the night in the hotel and then an attorney called Dan Cogdell took responsibility for their house arrest, where the three were tagged and passports removed. They stayed in that house for a couple weeks and then the men were allowed an apartment. When they were incarcerated, Giles family & friends didn't visit. When he returned to the UK, he was placed in an open prison in Gloucester.
Giles is so arrogant, saying he is now married to the most wonderful woman he has ever met ! (Lisa)
Hasn't Elle claimed to have gone to school in Americahhhh? I think she also claimed to have lived in a huge house in Texas!! Her dad shared an apartment when his family were allowed to visit.........

I haven't gone into detail about Giles' judgemental attitude when he found out that a woman he was in prison with, was actually a guy......The apple doesn't fall far from the tree....like father - like daughter
