09 Nov 01 - 07:44 AM (#588885) Subject: RE: Brown nose From: Murray MacLeod "Star of the County Down" doesn't contain any reference to "brown nose" that I can remember. I could mention a couple of people on this Forum who are brown nose experts, but perhaps I'd better not. Murray

I found the image and the symbolism delightful. |
