And you have no idea how badgering this woman can be. All that fiddling with the newsreader just to get her to shut up about this... You've had this place redecorated, haven't you? Don't like it. Anyway. Thanks to all for the support, and a two-fingered salute and Eddie Hitler type manic grin to the minority who hold the other view. I'm not promising to be here regularly, but I've been told by my better half that it'd be good manners, and politics, to come in and acknowledge popular support shown in this award. (Like Londo would know all about "popular support...") But if anyone wants to talk on-topic about books and stuff, I imagine it might find its way to my ears.
