I've always resented rules. Rules are OK for children but adults should follow their own whims. There's a godawful heat wave here in the UK (those of you within spitting distance of Death Valley are allowed to sneer at this point) and the temperatures mean I can't sleep at night! (Air-conditioning is unheard of in London.) Might as well pester you Yanks - if I have to suffer then you buggers are going to have to suffer also. It's 2am as I type. Bet you're only just back from the office. Funny you say I love to talk - everyone I know regards me as pathologically taciturn!
