   Oh, my mistake. That wasn't you over there, munching Mignons 
   Morceaux & swilling Boddington's?

Alas, no Boddington's today ;-(

   Indeed you could, dear <half-smiley>.

OK. I'll stop listening to them ;-)

   & then there's always your arthritic elbow to take into 
   consideration...

And the still misbehaving thumb, and I'm still occasionally digging
engrained bits of pavement out of my forehead ;-)

Oh, me too! And cute just wasn't the word!

   *wistful sigh* It's all true: no crutch necssary. Though *whimper*,
   Ang did buy two new silk shirts while she was in Oxford.

And they're going to be wasted on looking neat for *the job* . . . and
I was *so* looking forward to trying them out on certain people who
are equally susceptible to bog vampyres in silk next month ;-(

   *sniff* That was sad: Ang evaporated slowly under my eyes & into my
   sink.

Evaporated deinitely *isn't* the word! Evaporation involves a lot less
effort and is a considerably more couth process ;-)

   I tried to feed her, honestly people.

You did feed me! 

   It's really not my fault she left thinner than when she arrived 

Imagine what I would have been like without the Haagen Daz and the
custard! (I still get slight nrevous twitches every time I see a
weighing machine ;-)

   - we certainly didn't do anything very strenuous |-)

Unfortunately ;-(

   See! Sweet & pure & innocent! We did nothing!! 

Just you wait ;-) Once I'm settled in Newcastle, I will have my
revenge on my ill-regulated tonsils!

   Bog vampyres must be fed carefully. Regular consumption of
   champagne and garlic is especially important in their diet.

All donations to the bog vampyre's champagne fund gratefully accepted
at the address below until September 1st!

   Celery is not advised: the bog vampyre may decide to consume the 
   blood of the person offering this ghastly vegetable.

Hmmm. I thought that the general consensus of opinion in the group was
that whilst celery was disgusting, celery *eaters* were supposed to
taste quite good? It might not be blood I go for ;-)
