*hands over some of everything to Thomas, with the exception ofthe sieved
brains/mind since she doesn't have enough of those to go round as it is.*

Enjoy!

Perhaps you could get out some Naven steak and brains from the AGC Freezer
over there *points* (If its not in a recalcitrant humour), and we could
make a Steak & Cabbage Pie with some of those herbs....?

That is a picture of a Colander. (pronounced "Cullinder"). I have one
exactly like that (Same colour too) hanging over my kitchen sink. That is
not, however, a sieve. A sieve is of finer stuff. =`}

Have you noticed that BOTH the PB Vat AND the Freezer are bottomless?? I
wonder if that's due to the carpet also? ;`)

Look, there's hardly anything you say that can't make me feel stupid if
I feel like it. <bg>
Absolutely no need to apologise. Mourning is part of my personal style.

I never thought you were.

*nods* I agree. My understanding of other languages is minimal, and I
don't even have a full grasp of the "Queen's English", even though
I've been mangling it all my life.

>I believe Caro was being delibdrately (<---ooh! I think I'll keep that one!

Oooo!!!! That's a _good_ one, can I keep it too?

>lol)obtuse in order to make a joke upon herself, re: the remark about being
>"round". (Correct me if I'm wrong) And I was "playing along".

Yup, that's exactly it. "round" as in tubby, or fat, which I am and
thus I pretended to be upset with myself for calling myself "round"
(or something like that, I'm starting to lose the plot now, but that's
the way what's left of my brain works and x0tix is familiar with it)

> Neither of us is spiteful like that.

Gracious, no. There's enough depression and unkindness in the world,
I would never add to it in any way. Anything I say is always intended
as play, unless I'm trying to answer a serious question to help
someone.

*hugs all round* <--darn, there she goes again!
