Not to worry, Andrew, I only thank you for your help, and assume that
You've been talking to Chris Ball! He's just sore because I let him think
I was a man for months, and when we rolled into a Triumph club meeting,
I said nothing while he walked right up to my husband and started chatting.
By the way, there's nothing wrong with making up an image of people you've
never seen. It's only a problem if you treat people differently after you've
seen them. You can get to know people pretty well from the net, so that
tends not to happen.

26. Electrical Power Engineer. Enjoy home brewed beer, good wine, good
food (either prepared by someone else or given plenty of time to do the
preparation), skiing, sailing, fast motorbikes. Would rather clean out a
CV joint than vacuum the house. Hate it when people drive slow, contractors
flub up really simple tasks and universal parts aren't (take pantyhose,
for example), and I'm especially peeved when the earth manages to make
a full rotation in 24 hours. Hope to spend another couple of weeks in
Europe this year. I grew up with Jewish parents in an English part of
French Canada, and my office might as well be the United Nations. Oy!
