If you pass thru B'ham AL (why would anyone want to??) and don't mind an uncomfortable LazyBoy sofa, nuestra casa es tu casa. That is if we don't move elsewhere in the meantime.:thumbsup:

I used to date a girl in Birmingham. She was changing the sex of fish for her PhD.

Nor me....who on earth would want to date a brummie?


The fish bit I can understand though. I used to use drosophila in genetic experiments and we tried to breed them without wings. Did pretty well actually.:)

I'm think I'm covered in North Carolina. I figure I can stay with Steerpike in SF and Ray in Florida.

Could anyone else lend a traveler a bed? I'm very neat, clean and quiet.
How about you, Elfman? And Bevinva? I'm really excited to experience your lives and see the States through your lives.


Now that would be interesting and fun (but with another kid arriving in June the wife might not be so happy with it, but then again if you can lend a helping hand with nappy changes and reading the same book 200 times then there's probably a place for you).

I still think you're tighter than a duck's arse.
