>Kelley, these are debater's tricks, IMHO. Daniel (?)
Rob, I think (same chip on shoulder about the English, better at sports). Personally, I've never been a fan of the fuckable hole theory (received with nae bother, thanks). Bizarrely, I find myself in agreement (really?) with Yoshie in that I'd say that "if someone's reproductive system is the basis for their receiving vast amounts of needless social hassle, they're probably not a man."
BTW, Rakesh was thinking too much like a social theorist and not enough like a banker. The single factor which best explains personal bankruptcy rates in the counties of New Jersey is, humourously and sadly, their proximity to Atlantic City. It was the Springsteen chat that set me thinking of it:
-------- Well, I got a job and I put my money away But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay. So I drew out what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus.
Everything dies, baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies some day comes back. Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City. -------------
And finally, I've got 'flu, so I'll most likely be off for the few days between now and N30. So I'd like to make my perennial plea at such occasions: if anyone's planning to be fighting capitalism in London, keep an eye out for me. I've lost a bit of weight since J18, and had a haircut, but I'm still fairly recognisable -- a big bloke with ginger hair and a blue pinstripe. I'm certainly not part of the solution and quite probably part of the problem, but I honestly don't think I deserve to have any bricks or bottles thrown at me. Again, I may be buying drinks if the pubs don't shut down (particularly if Uncle Bob gives us the day off)
cheers
