    My lows are too numerous to air in polite conversation.
    2007 was such a bad year, that eventually the anticipation of the next disaster became my principle source of amusement.

    On the plus while youse were being washed out I was basking on the continent, and when a nip came in the air there, I returned to a glorious autumn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus
