Me neither- I’ve never even watched an episode. My countrymen (and wimmins) will just have to live with the shame.

Welcome **π** regardless!

Another dermatology appointment today- just an in, check it’s healing and out though, and I’ve not read all the magazines in the waiting room yet, so it was OK. Hopefully I’ll finally be getting the patch test in the first week of August, though I’m not sure if they’ll be able to squeeze me in as they normally book 'em 3 months in advance.

Bought Euros and got my tickets for firday, so it’s starting to feel holidayey now. I’m sort of getting packed and organised, but I always leave it til last minute, and it’s not as though I won’t be able to get stuff there if I forget, so I ain’t too bothered.

Anyrose - I live in Dover, but work in the City, near Moorgate. I am a Whovian, although not watched as religiously recently as I would like. Some marathons are called for I think…

**Wetone** to do the superscript for **Pie[sup]2[/sup]** you need to do the followin:

leftbracketsuprightbracket2leftbracket/suprightbracket. Hope that makes sense.

Da mean ol’ bear has struck again. I’ve been waitin’ on two pieces of info from an applicant since last Thursday. I have called her everyday to remind her. This mornin’ I called to remind yet again, but added, “if I don’t have everything in hand by nine a.m. Friday, I will move on to the next person on the waiting list as it will then be obvious to me you are not interested.” Both piece of info have magically appeared! It’s a miracle! Build a shrine! 😃

**Sean** some folks got noive do they not!

You need a realtor who actually wants to make some money.

Which apparently half the people here have said already. 🙂
