\*\*LadySybil[/] and anyone else interested…

Wrigleys the chewing gum guys marketed a brand called PK, my initials are PK and in some parts of the UK the slang word for chewing gum is SPOGGA which was my nickname at school many moons ago. It is still my nickname at work so you see I’m really just summat you can chew on and spit in a waste bin when I lose my flavour.It’s still a cool name tho’, thanks your Ladyship.

Everybody happy?..good!

HAHAHAHAHA… well, it was either that or the “BBQ babe” image that some people had of me a while back.

I’d do a big long post, but I need to get to bed. So here’s a quickie just for **CadburyAngel**.

Going only by your name (I confess I haven’t seen many of your posts): You make me think of a little angel in heaven munching on chocolate bars. (hey, it’s heaven… of COURSE there’ll be chocolate there… and guilt-free eating, too! 😉 )

A laughing, fanged alien, eh? Well, that’s how I feel most mornings, but actually I’m a cartoon horse who battles evildoers by bashing them over the head with a guitar.

Now my impressions of some of the other posters to this thread (no better grounded in reality, I’m sure):

**AgeQuodAgis** : James Mason in a toga

**Audrey Levins** : housewife in a 'fifties sitcom

**Chefguy** : that guy who was a chef in the second _Survivor_ series

**Darkhold** : a gray castle high up on a desolate mountainside where it is permanently stormy

**Flamsterette\_X** : flame-haired, punkish female lead singer of a band I might have seen in concert once

**Johnny Bravo** : GI-Joe-like posable action figure

**LadySybil** : resident of a castle much like **Darkhold** ’s

**Mangetout** : Monsieur Mange-tout, who, IIRC, made the _Guiness Book of World Records_ by eating an entire car over the course of a year or so

**Ryan\_Liam** : grumpy, sarcastic barman at an Irish joint in Paris where I used to hang out

**Spogga** : Italian F1 driver for one of the lesser-known teams

**TheLoadedDog** : the bomb squad gingerly approaching a small, spotted mongrel on a street corner

**Torgo** : a large, bearded gent driving a Yugo.

Funny how the mind works, or doesn’t, in my case.
