    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?

                          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?

                                          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?

                                          No it is pronounced and written as Roqia, in my case :)

                                          Actually the tea stall where I used to work got closed cause of lack of space they have and growing number of people who were fan of the tea I made :laugh: SO I fear that would not be possible.
