About as successful as making my car do that.  By the same token, I can
hardly have a traffic accident while doing email, can I (laptops excluded
of course)?

PE> No it doesn't, "work" is an English word. 

One could be forgiven for assuming that "work" wasn't an
Australian word though.  But yeah, you're right, even if I did use a SC,
that would have slipped by regardless.

PE> What you need is a brain-checker.  

I had a CAT scan once, so presumably I do have a brain to check, but when I
asked the radiographer to reconfigure it and do a quick scan of the
hospital grounds for cats, he was singularly unimpressed (probably another
bloody cat owner).

PE> Or even a brain would probably do. :-)

If I ever need a new one, could I perhaps have yours?  After all, it has
hardly ever been used.  |-)

Regards, Bill
