He was simply interpreting Ben Steed's story line. I have no idea what Ben Steed looks like, but I'm imagining someone with long hairy arms that practically drag on the ground and a sloped forehead. It's the last three words -- natural virtuous submissiveness -- that bring on nausea and Neil deserves to be lashed for his selection of those words. No enjoying it Neil, it's punishment I say!

Joanne!!! If you don't finish this, it's really going to put a crimp in my week. Get well *now*! And Helen, if you're out there, whatever happened to that 'Dayna' blues that looked so promising? I was all set to rush out and buy a copy of Clapton Unplugged so I could sing along.

It made me smile because it was similar to something I was thinking at work (maths exam followed by work, good grief, what a day). I was thinking something like *I really shoud check my e-mail sometime soon* and my thoughts drifted listward, I found myself casting list members as the characters which was fascinating given that usually its easier to do this sort of thing judging by appearances. Icould only think of a few partly because I couldn't remember many names and partly because I kept getting distracted by inconvenient customers but it was a fun excercise in the impressions we get of people and the way the mind compensates for things that we don't know (I think that makes sense). Anyway thanks Sally, that answered the question (besides it was really funny).
