Thankyou for your kind, sensitive remarks. But how did you know I eat porridge? As far as I recall, you've never been in my bothy, but I'll be happy to defrost, for you and your bairns, a slab of home-made porridge, if you ever visit Edinburgh (the cultural Tundra).

Dear JTS,
"I could get paranoid and say it's cos I look like him" (sic), referring to Meatloaf, not Georges.
Well, what can I possibly say, apart from submitting this "evidence" to the GENOME RESEARCH PROJECT, which can be located on another string

Dear Jo,
You are absolutely right! It's a succinct summation of yours truly, being born under the sign of Cancer.

Yours, in combinations,
Andrew.
