>>>>>Ok, Michel, thanks. I've uploaded both pictures. What are you using to manipulate the original and scale it down? I pretty much use Photoshop for everything graphic-wise.

>That was VERY funny!! And not far off from the truth; it was a pretty recent picture... Someday you and I have to get a pint somewhere. That is if you can stand to be seen with me, of course. <g>

I'd like that. You bring the flour sack. I might be able to make a little money on the side with you too :-) Did you know that you get drunk more quickly drinking it through a straw?

When I was 15/16 I worked my summer school vac's on the Isle of Mann ferries from Liverpool - in the bar. There was this old guy who travelled regularly, was wheelchair-bound, couldn't speak and had all these tubes in and out of his nose and stuff (I presume he'd had a tracheotomy or something). He loved his Guinness. He'd place the glass on the table, drop a tube from his nose into it, then you'd see the black liquid travelling up the tube and up his nose. Bizarre. I wondered how he savoured his drink though.
