    I wondered when this would happen, and looked forward to it because its always fun to meet people one has known by post face to face, its very interesting how they differ from the perceived image one has of them; the written word is such a poor communicator. And so I met up with Chris for a drink in Toronto last week and yes, he isn't at all like I imagined him! Anyway, cheers Chris, it was good to meet up and have a chat, albeit too brief. And I never got to ask you, why did the Queen dissolve the Aus govt in the 70s?

      How many CP points did you spend for that drink, probably beer?

          That's because MM always wants a root after he drinks. :laugh:

                                      Makes me wonder who the current winner of the most CP meets race is today. IIRC the last time it came up @Michael-Martin was high on the list if not at the top of it. Before anyone asks Sean "Mankini" Ewington's claim is disqualified because 99% of the people he claims to've met in person have no recollection of the 24 hours before waking up with their worst brain bleach hangover ever.

                                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                        Nice to meet you, but I thought that female name was pronounced and written as Ruqayya. :laugh: Since you're up for a tea, it would be making sense if you make it (someday)! What do you say?

                                          That should be a short post: "It tasted like tea". :laugh:

                                          Sometimes they leave a bad taste. :doh:
