Feeling chilled as my programs running and life is getting a touch easier. Not like mega easy but just a bit smoother if you know what I mean. Thought I'd introduce myself - dunno why - probably cos I had a few beers Note that Ive STAMPED my name on my head

I never figuired you would look like that. I kinda figuired you had glasses 3/4" thick, with chrome rims and black top nose piece. I figuired you had long hair that went in every direction, and didn't get outside much. Actually you kinda look like and human being. It doesn't match the picture I got with all the silence on the forum. You kinda look like someone who mowed lawns as a teenager. My brother in law is one of the Apple 25, and he is quite out there. His head is too large for his body, he has glasses thicker than a 2X4 and at 64, he wants to try being gay. He is a millionaire, and he doesn't shower much. He argues with everything, even if he brought it up and everyone agrees with him. You do not look like I might have imagined. Your eyes even point forward. Just goes to show you, it is always something! Wow, did I ever have the wrong impression. Why did you stamp your name on your head? You recognise your picture don't you?

Rocky - I drive fast - drink hard - work hard - and party hard. Party in my definition is a beer with a mate down the pub - not really like having a big bash - just a chat and a bit of fun. Work is - well - work is work - and I do work hard. Its true to say that I work like a dog infact. Driving - when I get out over the hills - yes - I drive too fast - but who says what too fast is? The atoms that make me or the stupid sign that says 30MPH? I dont endanger anyone - thats the key. Drive like you like when the road is empty. If its empty, I risk myself - noone else. And thats important. Well is TOTALLY important.

You are all right, even if you do not really know who you are. You are all right no matter what everybody says. All you need is a 'tail, a few scars, and a program for our forum that goes bing. You ok, anyway.

Mark, if you ever do come here, I would consider it a privilege if we met. I have been so busy at our shop, I still do not know anything about this area so I might be boring. If you ever did come here, and wanted to go to the Keys, I would love to show you some things tourists never see. We used to hand feed Key Deer, feed Tarpon in the canal behind our house, even the Sugarloaf Bat house, a WPA attempt back in the '30's to combat Yellow Fever, and mosquitos. Jenne's dad was a cameraman with the film Creature of the Black Lagoon, filmed in Silver Springs, near by. Ya better grow some hair, especially if you go to Key West, people might get the wrong idea. I hope you can someday come here. Especially before the yuppies devour everything in sight. Things are changing over night. Onward credit line!!! Tally ho!

Just let off some gas. She won't say much. It works better if you put her head under the blankets and let a good one. Ralph likes to let gas escape in my lap, especially if he has his butt in he air. I have found, as I like pancakes with cherry filling and tobasco sauce with maple syrup on them. Tobasco is pretty good on cottage cheese also. Keeps you awake better than coffee.

You know, if too many people tell him he is ok, he will change his name again, confuse all of us again, and the Electricals will consume what is left of whats his name. He doesn't look like a typical Brit however. His eyebrows do not meet in the middle, and peak at the outside of his eyes, and both eyes face forward. He probably doesn't know his left eye is tilted and a little off center. I bet, his ring finger, and index finger on both hands are the same height however or at least real close. Thats ok.

Hi Mark, Nice to meet! I know why you put your name on your forehead ... it's just so everyone will quit calling you Andy right? *smile* Have to admit, for some reason I had pictured you a bit older. Glad you're not though, gives you plenty of time to really enjoy rock hunting and tumbling. Speaking of which, how come I don't recall seeing any pics of finished rocks from you? Hope it's not because your so busy taking care of the forum here that you haven't had time to finish a load for yourself. Cher

Nice to see you Mark. A name with a face. I'll be getting to Scotland in August and that may be as close as we ever get to meeting. A strange lot over the pond, I'd say. They spend a lot of time consuming 'pints' and 'spirits'. One in each hand. But it was 'Holiday' and not the usual past-time on a normal week. Cheers!
