SITARA, As tempting as your plan of disappearance sounds, I am quite convinced that my now dead...correction..fossilised ..love life is clearly beyond redemption from any quarter..my Catholic nuns would be proud of my monastic life !! :-) John, There seem to be many teary eyes in this thread, seriously though, it is wonderful seeing familiar names. Hope the semester hasn't been too rough for you. Sandhurst, You poor ekshtrimlee beeji soul, hope the calendar clears up soon enough..happened to ctach your very witty answer to the dirth of beard on another thread...nice :-) Bye all.
