Which government should approve these documents? Please don't say the gutter. I shudder to think what the gutter may require in documentation.

Jen, contrary to popular opinion among the downtrodden masses, the gutter does not have a government.

But does the government have a gutter?

The gutter accepts any document bearing the legend '40% ABV'

Aha! That kind of documentation I can pick up in duty free as I cross the border! And, of course, my brother would have no problem picking up that kind of documentation either!

So, how will you know it's really me?

Mightn't she get confused with a gutter-snipe then though?

I'm fairly certain they wear yellow hats.

Oh, and Dave - the government is a gutter, you should know that by now!

Jen, seeing as men and women, therefore brother and sister, look remarkably different (I assume I don't need to point these differences out to anyone, and don't tell me you can't tell) it will be reasonably safe to assume that providing the standard 2 forms of ID will be sufficient for means of identification.

unless of course, her brother went to Switzerland for a sex-change operation, hence the need to check for Swiss stamps in the passport!

Bummer. Everything is soooooo expensive at the moment! Although, in the weekend I got a skirt for half-price : only $35! Pretty nice skirt it is too. :D

So it should be if that was half price. My last clothes bargain was a fleecy fitted top with a zip neck: £3 !

Far too damn hot to wear now though.

How hot? If less than 40C, stop complaining.

It's only about 15C at the moment.
