Or maybe pithed..... (1) As we've both suffered a similar fate on several occasions (2) now, young Rob, I'm minded to suggest we take a slightly more proactive approach to these sudden and unheralded amphibian interludes. I *did* think in the first instance we could wrap ourselves in suits of some very shiny silver foil-y sort of stuff, and wear hats with mirrors, as did the great Noddy Holder (peace be upon him), to reflect any curse or imprecation back upon its utterer (or, in this case, utteress) - although I would be the first to admit that this should be viewed as a temporary and only partially efficacious measure... Any other suggestions? cheers, robin (1) Sorry, ancient Biology A-level joke (2) Re-reading this post, I read this as 'moccasins'. Too weird. -- Christmas cards?
