some chirpy young Tory asked for mine on the way in. i ignored him and walked past. fuck personal politeness in these circumstances.

great point re the AIM Owen. i do love the X-Files ep of se1 set on some northern midwest reservation about werewolves (that the one you mean?). Safe Area Gorazde, awesome book :D (and Hitch in 'classic Hitch style' introduction IIRC!) Sacco has an interesting thing about the Portland, OR...

IIRC Tea does have a good line in fancy brollies? (i may be making that up.)

oh i see :o

i fear we both are :D as for Tea's accents, there's always the classic married northern English blokes discussing short holiday options routine... ...'Genoa?' ''Course I do, she's my wife!' 'Jamaica?' 'No, she wanted to'

i loved that "abroad" turn of phrase Massrock, proper old school :cool:
