It makes me feel like a bit of a cop-out, what with the eminent <B>Dr ?</B> solving the problem for me (as you know), and with such gusto and uncanny insight I don't feel any need to try my hand at it. No, I don't, particularly given the agony the six-word discipline has proven to cause. <BR/><BR/>Lovely to see the press is still itself, by the way. And glad to know you're deriving such joy from The Fall album. I'll wait a few months and no doubt it'll start trickling into youtube, my main source of self-education...Anna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-58045777502190985072008-04-22T21:07:00.000+01:002008-04-22T21:07:00.000+01:00Excellent szwag, puts everything in a nutshell, pr...Excellent <B>szwag</B>, puts everything in a nutshell, pretty much.
