Which reminds me of one rather bad american comedy, don't remember the
name, but i do remember a few lines from one show:
Teacher: "Get a life!"
Student (whining): "But all the good ones are taken!"
>(Which now applies to vanity domains)
Yeah, mort.com seems to be occupied...mort.org and mort.se is still
free though...hmm...for the latter I'd need to start a company,
though.

Good grief. Is that a promise?

what a pity I seem to have lost my bofh.flirting talent - I used to be
quite good[0] - and I only wish my lack of current flirting skills was
due to being unflirtable[1] myself, alas this is not the case.

Well, not necessarily; I had to wait four years for my application to
be approved, but it was well worth it. You just have to look harder for
the good ones these days.

David considers going for the double whammy, and rejects the idea because:
a) Christi would rip his gonads off if he tried.
b) Wednesday would stuff them down his throat shortly afterwards.

Fortunately, my ego is now so grossly inflated that I'm quite willing to
forgive you. It's just a shame that I can't seem to find someone in this
hemisphere who feels the same way.

We'll just make sure you get to Chez BOFH for inter-annual festivities
and make up our own opinions, haven't we?
How much over 5'9"? I mean, 5'9" isn't *that* tall, is it?
When I was in school, way back, one of the girls in my class was 6'2"
and a bit. She managed to switch between "cute" and "stunning",
depending on how tired she was.

I can well believe this. I've been trying to cure myself of exactly the same
habit for the last year or so. Nobody likes to be different. (Even if
sometimes we can't avoid it.)

I have the dubious pleasure of living in one of the more populous area of
Wales. As far as I know, Aberystwyth actually contains about a third of the
total population of the county of Dyfed. I don't think I'd like Singapore
though. I like being able to walk ten yards without having to get out f
someone's way.

I've tried and tried, but I just can't find what this footnote is referring
to. I'm probably just being stupid again.

Well, it was an offer in case he felt he needed more help. I'm quite happy
not to cook. *grin*
>The second time it was <voice tone=shameful>meatballs</voice>.
Like Simes, I've recently gone veggie, so I get to give you a disapproving
look at this point. *smile* (Seriously, I think vegetarianism is a personal
thing, and it's down to how *you* feel about eating meat. I'm certainly not
out to convert anyone.)

No, not pesto. It wasn't green. Now that I think about it, it might've
been something woked, but I'm quite far from sure.
Btw, flying days for new year. There are available flights on the
27th and 29th of December and planes back on the 3rd of January.
That's the best I can do...

The one reason to feel ashamed of about meatballs is taht it is *so*
typical. I mean, Ian's Gran phoned him and he said he had a Swede in
the kitchen and then his Gran said "Is he making meatballs?". That's
*far* too predictable, I think. ;)
Seems if I forgot that I was writing a follow-up. This was begun at
lunch. Now it is *almost* time to go home. At least I've decided that
I *won't* work anymore today.
