    If you need a hammer get C and shut up. If you need a nail gun get C++ and shut up. If you don't need *those* things (and good design should tell you) then by all means get a factory, factory, factory. --code-frog Why would you need to date, when C++ is your soul mate?! --Steve Echols

      The "Fosset Inn"? I had a flat down the road for about six months, while I was contracting back in the home town (Orchard Road; can't remember the number).

          Mummy told me it's the "fosset" inn. I always believe what Mummy told me.

          Yup. Well, Havant, originally, but Pompey is where we were always stationed when in Blighty. I have got to get over there, this year. I need some paintings for the new house (and the Hot Walls is the best place in the world to find good ones!)

              Best pub name ever... The C0ck Welwyn Herts No? For those who do not know, Welwyn is pronounced Wellin and Herts is pronounced Hurts.

                  I would have sworn I recalled that pub from years ago. Just off the A1. Went to look it up on Google and can't find it. Strange. Perhaps the name excludes it from searches? [EDIT] You mean the CLOCK[^]!

                      :( I can't stop myself pronouncing "Qing" as "ching".
