Good lord - you read Dan Brown? And survived? He would have to be the worst overhyped author in recent history. I tried to read his stuff, not Da Vinci Code admittedly, and I couldn't finish. I think I spent more time complaining aloud how awful the book was than reading it.

And why aren't you online? Don't give me this rot about you having a life away from the 'puter. There is no such thing! Check your email ;)

Hey! Here I am, why aren't you online?

Cause yeah, we must talk;)

Well, I'm back online, and you're nowhere to be found.


Oh dear - I've had a horrid thought. You're stuck somewhere in a public bathroom, 'cause the next cubicle is occupied, and you're playing the Please Be Leaving Now game. =8^0
