RE: [Openroad-users] RE: [Info-Ingres] www.theingresconference.com
Dennis, John
Orlando - we adjourned to a Pommy-styled bar somewhere in the town. I
was with a bunch of Brits, and was overjoyed at seeing their expressions
when I beat them, not once but two out of two, at darts.
Just imagine how good we would be at Rugby if the whole country, apart
from just two states, could be bothered to play the game. In fact, even
in those two states union is very much a minority sport. I'm certain
we do this just so other countries can occasionally get their hands on
the silverware. Actually, the same argument could probably be applied
to what the Brits quaintly call Association Football. Aren't they all
so lucky that the only people here interested in that game are ex-pat
Brits and other Europeans. Oops, I didn't mean to imply that Brits are
Europeans...
All TIC of course :-)
Looking forward to Kansas City...

There are none so blind as those that cannot see!
Is the game of Cricket played with Crickets?
Do you use a wombat to play the game of Wom.
I think not!

it was him you played at darts, i'm not surprised you beat him. He's not
our best rep, for darts/pool/football. Two left feet that chap and
terrible hand-eye co-ordination. (Or is that only after double figures
of Guiness?!)
(*That should wake him up!)
Enjoy CA-World all, lucky sods!
Cheers,
Gareth Edwards
