Effing takes my money, sends people to fight in illegal wars, and says "I want you" whilst pointing and leering at me. Creepy. *shudder* Don't trust him.

Sam - Just an observation, really. Howards seem to be thin on the ground now. There were adult Howards when I was a kid, but no one calls their kids Howard now. The Queen had a whole regiment of green ones at one stage. Katy - Mrs. This would take exception to the duvet thing, and with good foundation, but yes the pizza thing is still valid.

I hold you up to hard standards because you have shown yourself capable of <i>meeting</i> those standards!

Your integrity? Your <i>willingness to pit yourself against yourself and win every time?</i> Exactly. I make no apologies for my no-nonsense tough-love approach!

Also, for some reason, the clock is in GMT. I don't know how to fix it. It's right six months of the year, though. Cheers for pointing it out. Wendy - I have fixed that now.
