Dear all,
steve peet wrote (and quoteth I do):
Has anyone ever just thrown away something they have given over a fair
portion of their lives and savings to collecting?
I think I spent one solid year liking something, then deciding it was
rubbish and finding something else, which means I frequently come
across a decent number of one thing in the chaotic minefield that is
my room. I am therefore making this decision all the time, and I
reckon I will soon decide to live like a space monkey, two identicle
sets of clothes, a piece of carpet to sleep on and a bald head.
The things I always keep are my childhood action figures, Teenage
mutant hero turtles and the incredible thundercats. Oh my. I remember
fancying cheetara...

You record company employees will sigh when I tell you that having
spent precious time downloading and installing winmx I find that it
doesn't seem to work. But you should look away *right now*...
If anyone who is well-winmx-experienced could tell me what is going on
when it says I am in a remote queue (I'm a bit of an internet
philistine) I would be bluddy GRATEful. I assumed it meant I was
waiting for someone else to finish downloading from there and I was
the next in line to use it (it said remote queue 1) but after waiting
for ages it never seemed to do anything else. Anyway, enough of these
whiney, boring requests...

Miss  Llew: if they were bent on doing biblical stuff, they could
still have chosen something more interesting. I don't suppose you've
ever read any Song of Songs...ooh er...

Sorry for wasting your time with a boring post, I've just re-read it
and it's absolutely dire but now I've written it i'll sodding well
post it. Apologies.

Tom (who's most recent post in no way deserves the prefix corduroy
boy)

P.S. The subject line is simply an instruction for how I like my toast
(if anyone was planning to send me some). Why oh why do people think
that putting marmite on toast permits them to omit the butter on that
slice? The marmite and butter are unequally symbiotic, the butter may
exist without the marmite but without butter the marmite fails to
satisfy.
