Will and Tim: Thanks, I feel better now that I know you guys are
zen-killing teddy boys, too. You'll have to excuse my incoherence
yesterday, exams that determine the rest of my life begin in 10 days.
The Irish amongst ye will remember the dreaded Leaving Cert and nod

In one of the books I loved when I was a kid, (part of the Bagthorpe
Saga by Helen Cresswell, anyone?), the Mr. Bagthorpe the father of an
eccentric family, who are almost a caricature of the prodigious Glass
family, is being driven nuts by his kids, and he says, exasperated,
'Sometimes suicide is the only possible expression of integrity!' I've
always remembered that. Advice, obviously, to be taken with a pinch of
salt.

Malcolm - I'm in the process of looking at your page. It takes a long
time to download and there doesn't appear to be any text, BUT I'm only
at the first page, so I can't judge yet. The only opinion I can pass at
this preliminary stage is: You are a very handsome man.
