Hi, Rachel.

RLA> Happy New Year everyone.         Hey Bob I think I can
out-do your
RLA> Flu!

Happy New Year!

RLA> Firstly ultimate parent's nightmare...

RLA> A pregnant daughter living in a tent, with a man (who isn't the father of
RLA> the child) while serving in a bar.

RLA> OK it's not a joke really, but that's how I spent the last 6 days at the
RLA> Woodford Folk Festival. For the record I had FUN!!! 
[& got a free
RLA> Guinness T-shirt in thanks for volunteering 3 hours/day. IE. I spent the
RLA> hottest part of the day surrounded with ice, having cold water fights with
RLA> the other volunteers & giving cheek to the customers ... The
sacrifice, th
RLA> pain!!! ]
RLA>                              [& Then we're all off to Sydney in 10 days
RLA> time]

Hmmm, that's Monday. Methinks there *needs* to be a Yak. Whoever's
organising it don't make it the Thursday.

RLA> In other words, people, this little black duck is breeding. Not bad for ou
RLA> first try... I _was_ hoping for some more practice though 

Congratulations! How did that happen?

RLA> For the record I've been describing it as "a contagious
stomach bug".
RLA> 

Contagious? What's the transmission vector? :-)

RLA>    Ray.
RLA> ... Child: Easy to assemble, but requires continuous maintanence...

Yes, as you'll discover. (And don't tell me *that* was random!)

Oh, and it's *maintenance*. :-)

Regards, fIM.

 * * Programs. Ones w/bugs & ones w/hidden bugs.
