We have the "Stussy" tribe here in Australia as well. Kind of like the Billabong-ers.

First one that comes to mind was Esther. Only because I know one.

I was just reminiscing that one of the names by which I was known years ago was translatable across many languages - in most of which you would get 30 days in the cooler for uttering obscenities.

Such is fame!

I love my name at the moment, because it allowed me to tell some idiots having a bible-quote war a lovely line from somewhere in the dedication of the bible (well, pretty near the start).

Genesis 21:12 "Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you."

Interpretation for edification of the wise: Shut the hell up already.

When I meet a Sarah, all I can think about is Roll Coaster Tycoon. There is a guy that walks around the park calling out "Sarah!" That drove Mum absolute nuts when my sister went through a RCT phase, it was the only thing that she could hear.

I was at a recording session of My Music when Frank Muir was given the quote from Tchaikovsky (It's one possible English spelling of the name for pedants) of:
'It's poorly done, of no great value,....."

He replied : 'It's the preface to Genesis" and this always comes to mind when accosted by those who are pushing some Christian absolutist line.

When I work out how to use Face book I shal add people, but it is about number 2008 on my list of priorities at present. Most of the 2007 before it are related to chocolate.

What would you eat in a world without chocolate?

I would not expect to be born into a world without chocolate!

Do we have to contemplate that sort of world?

I think in a world without chocolate, we'd invent chocolate. Then eat.

Or invent eating, then chocolate.

What if we live in a world without something like chocolate but even better? Sorry to worry you Bunyip and you could, of course, argue that since we know no better it doesn't matter, but since you insisted that we bump off Wittgenstein I fear that argument no longer stands.

Spam Sausages - sausages with even less meat than the real thing.

The thought of something better than chocolate is strangely intriguing, but highly improbable. A sort of culinary alchemy no doubt.
