ROFL - sometimes the problem with fighting fire with fire is that you end up with a whole load of fire roasting your tootsies - so choose targets with care.... fortunately I can spot (most of the time) when folks are being sarcastic too (come on its a way of life in the UK and one you have to learn damn quickly in some cities) - so no offence taken and no offence intended in the replies. I'm told that I should make more liberal use of smileys though.

You're right people do respond to english better - a lot of folks here use it as a form of sarcasm as well though.

British remarks - note use of smiley in my reply! I've fallen into the trap of 'smokin a fag' with some Americans before now... both countries speak the same language but use it very differently. Actually as a side note - where I come from a cigarette is also called a tab - one guy from down south thought he was getting some acid when offered a tab - mmm was he disappointed when it turned out to be a cancer stick.

Anyway - yes days are long - unlike a lot of folks I know, I try and keep my brain active so I usually spend about an hour on AO of a night and then go do what work I have to (whether personal projects or hang overs from the working day) - I don't normally get to bed until between 12 and 1am.

So ok now we've sorted that lot out - look forward to seeing you around some more
