Now don't go worrying the girls like that, Francis. You know they tend to swoon when faced with distressing news.

I have noticed a little noise coming from my computer speakers, every time Francis enters a thread.

My suspicion is that it is the collective noise of a few thousand ovaries popping in unison, all around the world.

As I always say, LE, the power of imagination...

That's where I differ, Francis. The ladies don't need to use their imagination when they are within sight of me.

My unique attribute is quite obvious, bordering on intimidating.

I was once asked "Is that a conga eel in your pocket, or is it just the cold weather, making you smaller than usual?"

Imagination from reality can be two different things.

So you carry your own conga stick ha Lordie. Conga, conga, conga!

Thin, squirmy, and slimy are we, M'Lud?


Oh dear.

If it weighs as much as LE tells, it must be poikilothermic..

How is it, that when an Englishman arrives on the scene, everyone starts mentioning members?

Bloody freezing cold over here at the mo.

It's just as cold where I'm at, trust me.


BTW how can you guys ever forgive us Americans for breaking away from British rule during the American Revolution?? Laughing

Heh...!

Goodfielder, yer an Aussie, it's expected.

It's kind of like how people are annoyed at Madonna for her pseudo-sorta British accent. They don't get annoyed at BRITS for having a British accent (well, occasionally), but what is she up to?

Meanwhile, one thing about American eating habits is that we use forks for most everything. The actual cutting of something and utensil switch happens rarely -- steak, say. Most everything else can be cut with the side of a fork if it needs cutting. Voila, all one hand.
