Thanks for the reply Bob. Though I like to keep in mind one of my favourite scenes in the movie The Dead Poets Society where Robin Williams (as Mr Keating the English teacher ) tells the class that mechanical measuring of poetry is " excrement " and he says " we are not laying pipe, we are doing poetry " So I think your comment about it either sounds right or it doesn't, is spot on. It's in the ear.


Thanks Mr. P. I'll have to look up The Volvo Driver. Not sure that I have heard it.

Thanks Marty. Chrome teeth are those fierce things at the front of a truck's radiator. :)
They can come awfully close sometimes.

Wochoo mean, for a Briggs ? :o I refer you to Mr Keating's quote above. ;) :lol:

Thanks Glenny, I suppose 35 years in a bureaucracy makes it hard to loosen up. :lol:
