I know...I am just pulling your leg...I liked it when on Irish forum somebody mentioned chips in their post to me and then went on to explain the difference between fries and chips and all that jazz...well, I've been around now too long...funny thing is...recently I've read a book by British writer which I've read last time a long time ago...and as I was reading it I was scratching my head and thinking...how the heck did I understand this before (lots of local slang)...I probably didn't...

I just figured out what being toothless is good for...losing weight...yeah, I do have too much time today in between things I have to do...
