His middle name is James, apparently. He buys his underwear from me. (Only kidding- if I stripped off, I'd look like a worn pair of scissors). Thanks for dropping by, Kim. Viv x

It makes me wonder how do these misconceptions happen? You have a wonderful group of friends!! Their hearts are gold, and you provide me with the opportunity to laugh. For that--thanks much.

Thanks, Duke. Sometimes I despair, but my favourite saying in our local pub is that 'everyone in here is broken- but some are more broken than others'. We somehow get along. Regards, Viv
