<HTML>H'mph. Still looking for Husband 2.1.1 to operate drill, saw, lawn mower, and other machinery I used to be able to work quite happily before my wrists went for a Burton. (Tenosynovitis, for any medics here. Not funny.)</HTML>

<HTML>Lovecraft? Kinky? I wouldn't know about kinky. You'd have to ask Ben. (Revenge is sweet... lol)</HTML>

<HTML>Revenge may be sweet, but, as the late Terence Milligan observed, not fattening.

And the brother may well get a book for Xmas, if only to stop him borrowing my copies of Eyre Affair and LIAGB.</HTML>
