Suits you nomadinas to a T. Don't know if there is a payment involved but only one way to find out. Write, write, write. Break a far.

Sounds interesting, but I have lost the ability to write. I'm only capable of one-liners maalmahan. Will you be submitting a piece, Sheh?

^^^ Indeed. It's called the Haddad Syndrome dear. A devestating affliction whose poor victims in the latter stages end up signing everything off with "gugu gaga". I shall keep you in my prayers as there is no known cure.
