I wonder if North American TIPSters know the allusion in the title above, "Daisy, Daisy�? It�s from a song from a long-gone era, the first verse of which is below. I don�t know from which side of the Atlantic it originated, though I always thought of it as a British song. Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do I�m half crazy over the love of you It won�t be a stylish marriage I can�t afford a carriage But you�ll look sweet Upon the seat Of a bicycle made for two. Ah, they don�t write them like that any more. Allen Esterson --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
