[Andy in Germany]

Once spent an evening in the wilds of Chian drinking warm brown coloured spirit from tea pots. We all seemed to still be at the table in the morning. I dared not move, I was certain to fall over.
Had a Chinese breakfast and eventually moved on. The customer thought this was great and we became quite chums bonded by not understanding a word the other one said.

I have a similar relationship with my Brother in Law: He doesn't speak English and I don't speak Japanese but we both speak fluent husband.

And he claims it's an automatic, makes the tea for him!

Possibly, but there's an American Scientist magazine as well. I get the odd copy.
I'll have to check now, see which it was in.

Is it that old, to be an NSU?

 

[Gwylan]

Maybe I should put the salt in the butter disha nd the butter in the sugar bowl instead.

Walk on the wild side, go for it.

Time to visit the Land of Nod. I must consult the road map to find the best route.
