Ralphie .... "Hu Irene." ..???? What sort of salutation is that?
"As Mussolami Salami wants famously said" ... shucks, I thought that was the name of some Arabic character who was sought after ....
As to the China - help....remind me to bring some ear plugs and not sit too close.

Brian ... "it's not impossible I might have contrived something by August 9th." .. as at the moment I don't have any ballads featuring odd amputation (is it the part of the body that's odd, or just the means of amputation?), or surrogate parenthood in my repertoire, I shall be waiting for that one with avid interest [wicked grin]

Sorry both - in silly mood here, having just got back from watching Harry Potter ... I will be back to adult mode (if that's possible) before too long!
