Yep, that's the real gauling thing. Food is one thing. Actually I reckon
if it came to the push I couldn't even kill a lettuce for food.

erk! My daughter bought two rats for the kids, which they loved, but
something happened to one, she started getting weak and wobbly. Vet said
it was some ear thing they are prone to. Then the other day she came
downstairs with the youngest child and when they went to feed the rats
she noticed some strange looking things scattered round the cage, the
the little one made a disgusted noise and she realised she was looking
at something she described as being like a cartoon chicken's ribcage
after a feast. The fit rat had either killed and eaten or had feasted on
after death, the ill rat!

Yes, there are odd people, mainly people who create, writers probably,
who I would love to see... and David Bowie. I am an ardent U2 fan but
somehow meeting Bono I think would be like meeting a deranged but very
rich child.

They're running some sweet adds atm, some bug eyed geeky nerds working
at their computers, getting all excited about a screen full of digits
and one of them says "If only we could send this data... maybe through
telephone lines... a sort of 'inter network!"
