    I surely will. To OG: My supreme world overload, your humble most significant pupil(DeathByChocolate) asks if she can have your laptop case full of chocolates sooner than Friday. I am humbly asking you to do so. For the rest of the forum you can say you give it to her on Friday night :)

    Except... 1) That would be cheating. 2) That would cost me chocolate. And delay delivery, because I'd have to ship the chocolate bars to Canadia so they could be put in the sleeve prior to dispatch. Which costs me money I could spend on chocolate. And I end up losing financially for winning a competition! CP is not based in Nigeria... :laugh:

      Not exactly - my 'detention' is from 8:00, Sunday to 17:30, Wednesday... :-D

      I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

          Elephanting hope not, as that would mean I'm getting married tomorrow, and there's way too much to do!

                            I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

                                  Just give it a try and could find her address out of the information she gave out here.

                                  I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                                        Since Saturday every single day has been Friday to us Derby fans. Deliriously happy, it's quite tragic really but schadenfreude is far more fun than your own success, we're currently revelling in both. Hopefully tonight at Ipswich won't derail things.
