Isn't Major Trouble in the same unit as Private Parts and Corporal Punishment. Not to mention General Ignorance?

The times when you can get more are off-peak. As in 3am to 6am. So roll on the download managers.... <_<

And the way you pay is for the infrastructure to get online. Is actually very @#$%& for us.

On the other hand.... <starts muttering about Telkom's internet prices....>

Digression:

In the days of the old Red Skelton TV show he had the bloke who played the commanding officer in the Phil Slver's Sgt Bilko show.

In Skelton's show he played a General Hazard. When phoned by the President he said:

Yes Sir, General Hazard. Hap Hazard.

I miss that show, probably because of the dancers and David Rose's music, plus Skelton was brilliant performer.

yay! Thanks for the birfday greeting. I'll be legal for drinking and gambling and all sorts of vices. So it's probably safer for you two if you won't be around.

woot.

Tari,

How is it possible to be not legal for drinking and gambling?

Ah, just realised, you are now old enough to indulge in drinking and gambling on which taxes are paid.

What are 'vices'? There are pleasures and things that must be done. If they are enjoyable then, like HG Nelson said, too much is not enough.

Whatever, enjoy and be fulfilled with the spirit.

21. Thanks for the birthday greets! *feels warm and fuzzy* *not really warm, because the heater's not on, and only fuzzy because she's got a cat on her lap, but warm and fuzzy nonetheless*

Ah. I was going to turn you inside out if you were so warm and fuzzy. I can always do with an extra blanket.

Mine's the 15th but it's not notable for another three years, back to waiting for no.1 daughter to arrive from Scarborough around midnight, you just don't stop being a mother *sigh*
