      I watched the first Thor film last night, it resonated rather well with the image text.

        Nope. I thought the support guys on the hotlines usually sit in India, but claim to be John Frankenfurter from Hucklesuck, Texas. So, if you get the support calls, we now know that you sit in India. Do you really think it's a good idea to pose as Griff here? :-)

          For all we know, there is a god-forsaken village in India named Wales, where the sheep roam and the sun never shines. :)

                I love it when tech support claims to be from Texas. I grew up in the DFW area which is where they always seem to be if they are truly in TX. Plus I visited Austin enough that I could always start a conversation about how the weather was, if such and such intersection was still a pain, or if some restaurant was still in business. It's fun to listen to them squirm as they try to keep up the lie. Plus when they really are there, I can have a conversation with a Texan. Win-win in my book.

                  I spent a few years in Texas, but in El Paso.
