    Someone was talking about books recently and that reminded me I read a book once, it was about a chap called Spot who had a ball...a big red ball. If I recall correctly he was given it at the start and he liked it. The story was fairly complex, as you can imagine, and essentially examined the fragile relationship between Spot and his ball. Don't know if it's a relevant recollection but I like to feel like I'm contributing somehow. Bryce -- modified at 19:04 Tuesday 14th November, 2006

    Wasn't Spot a dog?  A big orange/yellow/brown one with... you guessed it... a big spot on him.

        well was he _really_ a dog? i feel it was more of a metaphor. for umm....databases, or linked lists or collections of some sort ...or perhaps errant programming practises. (something i'm sure you never engage in Christian ;) ) Bryce

                        I'm so confused. My recollection is of some poor boy and girl trying to overcome some obstacle and the boy getting killed. The girl then chased after the insurance settlement and spiral into a decadent lifestyle.
