Strangely enough, this doesn't surprise me. Although the fact that the Tal-y-Ban actually rewrote the signs does fill me with awe and wonder. I wonder how they knew how to spell it ! > Not sure about keeping Aliens out, John, but it sure managed to keep > the Scots out. Not for long - we were back in North Wales a few months ago. When we passed the sign for Tal-y-Bont, I suggested we tried to find it again - Alison didn't think we would so we went straight on and had chips at Conwy (That 'Conwy' spelling doesn't look right to me - maybe I should have been less critical above :o( Conway perhaps ?) However, it's always a good idea to keep the Jocks out - they come down here stealing your jobs and your women! (Well, I did !)

>I can see you here in Wales, Rich. > > Note: We must do more to keep aliens out ! ;-) Well, local kids (the Tal-y-ban) did manage to "prevent" Norman Dunbar from getting into Tal-y-bont a couple of years ago, by ensuring there were only signs from one direction into the village, the other sign pointed people out into the wilds on a route only for the not-for-faint-of-heart through nowhere (not KnoWare). Norman will doubtless like to know that one of the signs from the other direction still doesn't exist, and the damaged sign which had letters missing (local councils don't use glue strong enough to survive Welsh weather) is now readable because it seems the Tal-y-ban took a marker pen to fill in the missing letters, nice of them to do something constructive for once. Not sure about keeping Aliens out, John, but it sure managed to keep the Scots out. -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Hi Rich, I've mentioned this before - your btconnect account keeps bouncing mails. It's why you don't see messages from me for months at a time!

I don't seem to see posts I make here, but I get messages? Either BT is being very slow, or I'm blocked somehow? Is anyone seeing messages from me?
