21 Jun 02 - 07:09 AM (#734199) Subject: Local people look here! From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Does anyone need a lift to Beverley? If so ring me on 348448, I know we advised not to post tellyphone numbers but it's an ISDN line, so if any weirdos phone I will have their number (all incoming calls are logged). You must be local to qualify for this offer.john |

26 Jun 02 - 12:28 AM (#737098) Subject: RE: BS: Local people look here! From: Haruo I'm local, John. Hell, I'm right here in my very own chair. As for why I came to this thread, I got tired of the one from GUEST(Ian) about being careful how you title your threads. No, not your threads, one's threads. And I saw this one and wondered, 'Hmm. I wonder what "Local people" means in this case??!!' So I clicked and the rest is the next best thing to history. Don't worry, I won't call you. I don't even know the country code. Carry on. Not too loudly. Liland |
