    Can I make it one extra (what does the figure after the slash mean?). 
    I thought I hadn't had much to say this year, but I still appear to be
    sprouting everywhere.  And I never did put in a note slagging Bohemian
    b****y Rhapsody.

    I'm not sure I like this. Looks as if I'm the Luton Town of the
    UK_Music conference. Will I be relegated to the Ferret Fanciers 
    note? And, yes, what does the figure after the slash mean? Average
    reply lines?

    Mike,
    
    Sorry, I forgot to explain. The figure after the slash is the number
    of basenotes. Looks like you've got the hang of REPLY but not WRITE!
    :-)

    I don't think enough exciting things have happened for me to WRITE. 
    I'll report back after crimble.

	Out of curiosity...

Mike, does this prove that you're just following the bandwagon?

    There's a whole bunch of programs using the Notes callable interface
    that produce statistics like that. Or you can do it the hard way with
    TPU programming...

    But the statistics lie!  Tim Price placed second, but he left in
    July(?)  Tim O'Connor was placed in 3rd, but he's been out since 
    mid-Sept.  Mattyb placed ? and also left during the summer.  Therefore,
    Mikef is not the most noted noter.  I bet if you did the first 6 mos.
    it would look a whole lot different.

    PS  See Mikef, you did get some work done this year!

   How come my name keeps getting in the Hall of Fame (here and somewhere 
   else)?  It wasn't me, I didn't do it.

    hi y'all   
    I'm working at digital in Australia (Rhodes)...Wow, big deal I hear you
    say...but....I'm originally from LUTON TOWN (no comments pls.) and
    basically I miss the general scene over there.  The music out here is
    gradually catching up with UK but I would still love to know what's
    what over there .....HELP....
    Is there ANYONE out there who can stop me feeling homesick boo hoooo
    - its not really THAT bad over here but it would be nice to hear from 
    some witty peeps.  No...I don't do any work for charity and yes I loved
    watching Harry Enfield...but you "don't wanna do it like thaaat"
    Look forward to hearing from anyone out there
    bye

    >>gradually catching up with the UK
    
    I would'nt be so sure about that. You can always have our entire 
    Techno/Rave culture. We can arrange for them to travel on a fleet
    of dodgy 18th century ships with little food and maximum scurvy 
    potential. If they get on your nerves (guaranteed) you could always 
    banish them to the Simpson Desert or some other nice REMOTE spot.

    Are the Huxton Creepers still going? Used to like them.

Hi Ursula,
	Nice hearing from ya, but where exactly is this place called 
		"Australia"
never hear of it myself :-)))).

Well I cant really help you much about the england scene (thank god for that!!)
but the music scene here is great. (where I hear you say) I'm surprised at you,
cant you identify my Irish accent!!!

For a start:

I went to see the Stunning a few weeks ago, they have a new album out (cant 
remember the name?), well what can I say, what a let down. Unless this was an
off nite they were pretty ordinary..

Now for the crack..
Late week I went to a small gig (about 300) to see the acclaimed
	"Saw doctors"

well now that was a gig and a 1/2. Their music was not really truely traditional,
 more modern but with the a hint of it I suppose, it was fab, I really enjoy it 
the crack was great, never day dreamed like you sometimes do. The drink was 
flowing, so we had had the best of both world!!!

I'll leave it at that for now, 

I'm off for a relaxing game of par 3 golf!!! 
SO HAVE A GOOD DAYS WORK!!!(hee hee)
