    hmmm, I recall a postor referring to such as a 'wankfest' in which case would it be fair to say its not the ego that was being stroked?

    You guys must be those people that send in the corrections to the newspaper. Like those old people up in orewa.

    I have always wanted to meet those losers.

    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    Not to me Darling! I'm 45.
    It's just that tinkerbell is a child who is only just learning to type. He knows little and is still at the 'look at me' stage.
    O. gosh. Tinkerbell. you. are. so. clever.

    Hey! I resemble that remark! 'Cept I don't send in corrections to newspapers, I've not got the time nor the inclination, (well I might be inclined at times, but that's usually for another reason... Other times I'm reclined...)

    How old is old, anyway? When I was a kid I couldn't imagine being 40! Now I wish I was...

    Quick, Ed. Offer the young'un a job, while he still knows everything, and you can get away with youth rates.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Hmmm... Youth rates can work out costly after it becomes apparent the youth does not in fact know much at all...

    I used to tell my son when he was a teenager, that he should leave home and make his own way whille he still knew everything. Funny thing was he left home at 18 and moved into a flat owned by an old couple who adored him and did everything for him including his washing! Wasn't so successful, that idea!

    He's 36 this year and I think his room is still a mess... At least he's always had a job and doen't ever want to be on the dole.

    Old is a state of mind, both recieving and accepting
