    why all the question marks? thanks for the nice story... especially as I've just cleaned up after my cat (grass, fur, & whiskas oh-so-fishy). never mind i didn't want any lunch really.

    Question marks were because I wasn't sure on my places and people. On a forum such as HeXus, someone is bound to know the episode I'm on about and will take great pleasure in pointing out my errors.

    Mopeds? Surely you jest... they sound like they are powered by hairdryers, myself and a group of friends derived great pleasure from pointing this out to someone whenever he rode his to cadets...which was every time

    Some other things that work extremely well, even though we don't want them to most of the time
