    I didn't know that but it strikes me that the perfect answer is Guinness. :beer: Try "going on a bender" after a few pints and you'll see what I mean!

    there was a full-page ad in last month's National Geographic for this too. it's a price-fixing thing. it alleges that the big record companies conspired to set minimum prices for CDs - not allowing retailers to sell for less than $X. it's for real. -c Fractals ThumbNailer

    It was amazing hun - like nothing had changed in the 5 years since we last got together as a group. We'll definitely be doing it again. :-D I put a quick entry in my journal [^] earlier (with a group mugshot) and the rest of the pics should be appearing on my website later today. :) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch Trouble with resource IDs?
