    Hmmm IA asks for sex and Zed and Ste show up :confused:

    Coincidence? or chancing your luck lads?

    It's God's will...
    It had been raining for days and days, and a terrible flood had come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house.

    As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat appeared, and told him to get in. “No,” replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord, the Lord will save me.” So the man in the rowboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

    The waters rose higher and higher, and suddenly a speedboat appeared. “Climb in!” shouted a man in the boat. “No,” replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me.” So the man in the speedboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

    The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. “No,” replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord, the Lord will save me.” So the helicopter went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

    The waters rose higher and higher, and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned.

    Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God. “Heavenly Father,” he said, “I had faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?” God gave him a puzzled look, and replied “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect than that?”

    Just have to decide which one of us is the boat, and which is the helicopter... ;)

    I don't normally - I think it's more the character in that film, although he's a bit too soppy. Glad I'm not alone on Alan Rickman.. although actually I would quite like to be alone on.... er... I'll stop there :o

    It was Truly, Madly, Deeply that did it for me - despite the fact he was a rather annoying dead bloke!

    Glad to hear your doing well up there in the Dutch mountains of Tyne and Wear.

    I'm fine thanks. Settling down to a life away from studying. I turned down that job offer with the PhD and I'm now busy using what little knowledge I've got.

    And found out the name of your lady too?

    You taught me all the perversion I know, Ste.

    So that's why he turned down his PhD - he's already got one...

    And teaching it too!
