Evening All, Include Supermum in your prayers tonight because I think she's quite ill again at the moment. 1,000+ best wishes should make a difference, shouldn't they? PJ "Mod" Miller wrote: ... Barnes Wallis once, - Did he demonstrate the idea behind his most famous invention, using a boiled potato and several strategically placed soup bowls, leaving young Master Moore awestruck and soup-splattered? Our public school was of the decidedly cheap & cheerful charity kind, so the caterers gleeflully seized upon Sir Barnes' theories & used them to skip one potato across 850 bowls of soup to flavour them, before turning it into the next meal's mash. However, proper food was produced whenever the Old Boys visited, so he had to content himself with demonstrating the fabrication of a geodetic airframe from the chips.* Thanks to strangely serious sotto voce but still surely Starry Sarah for the answer to my queue gig drummer question. Thanks also to Katrina & Ailsa for their responses.

Marianne, try yokel, bumpkin or peasant for derogatory names for country folk, & someone else help her out with nasty things to call mall rats. I can't see that All Tomorrow's Parties will have a moment comparable to that when Struan sang "All my friends are on their holidays" and added "that's you" with a shy smile, to a swell of applause. I nearly filled up. May nothing but happiness come through your door, David Moore Chelmsford, UK np: Dick's Picks (H!O!Pkin's Horrors?)
