I second the need for the Urban Dictionary. And the English/American Dictionary. And the American/Californian Dictionary. And the Scots/Irish Dictionary. And the Dictionary of Psychological Disorders.

and recommend you learn the code for :fp: by heart.

:cheers:

BTW, if you want to come to Liverpool and leave the timid one behind, that's fine by us. :tup:

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome.

And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.
