Anonnnnnn, How very embarrassing, man!! And there are only the three of you lot wishing me good health - even more embarrassing! I mean, where in the world have they all gone, bhanya - the fiery squad of the Sandhurst clique? :) Goodness gracious me! So very sweet of you mate. Yeah, have grown long a little in the tooth as they say! And btw, Anon, the name dashing Darcy has changed to the wicked Wickam! :)) I think, the good ol funny man Nirman should be given the name. Here's a wee blurb I wrote about him in another thread: """I do trip over his shadow now and then; has got a brewing grudge or two to settle with nepal's netas; wants me to become his dutiful accomplice in his ploy to bundle them in boraas and deposit them safely in the Tukuchha khola; hails from a wee place, just across the lake called the English Channel; always has this idea of taking the piss at me by calling me another sad old stooping thote (toothless) sod who, he thinks, tries to hit on his 'birds'! :))).................NIRMAN........................::))"""" I know, sad old stooping thote git! :) That's what I am becoming or will become soon! But hey, let me draw some comfort from the wit of one of my heroes - the good old Oxonian, Oscar Wilde. This is the feisty Lady Bracknell from 'The Importance of Being Earnest': 'Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.' (Note: Now 'thirty-five' there is a sinister red herring, so don't start making a sweeping guess just yet. But yes, I'd love to remain 'thirty-five' not for years - for ever! :)) This is Lord Lillingworth from 'A Woman of No Importance': 'One should never trust a woman who tellls one her real age. A woman who would tell one that, would tell one anything' :) (Note: Applies equally to us men folks re! See, my sole reason for not telling you my real age. :))) Goodday Anon and many-many thanks. ******************************************************************** Candy, So sweet of you - your greetings received most gratefully. Me - Darcy-no-more! The wicked Wicham, maybe. Now, don't tell me you are one of the Bennetts for chrissake. :) ******************************************************************* Nirmaaannnnn, Feri budo dai laai khutrukkai banayo... hahahah top pani padkaako?
