It's great to be here!

First off I want to say what a treat it is to be here... Especially after the customs officials at London Gatwick put me through the ringer.

There was no one in line behind me, and my customs official decided to ask me a few hundred questions. The hi-light was when he asked me how long I am staying in the UK.

"One month", I told him.

He said, "And how much money do you have with you."

I reached down into my pocket and all I found was my GREED bill. I pulled it out and said, "A dollar, Sir."

He stared at me. There was no way he was going to let me into the country with one dollar in my pocket.

I said, "Well, a dollar goes a long way. You just give it a wave and it turns into a FIVE. Another wave and you've got a TEN to spend. And another leaves me with a TWENTY."

I wasn't brave enough to deliver the "Don't get GREEDY" line to a guy who held my fate in his hands (although I'm sure Danny would have done it). I stopped the trick right there.

The customs official didn't exactly smile and gasp and scream like the spectators in the brand new GREED demo, but he must have liked the trick because he let me through!

And as I said, it's GREAT to be here. The guys at Penguin UK are awesome, and we've got a lot of improvements planned for the next month... INCLUDING some special offers I don't think you'll want to miss.

Stay tuned!
