    Sorry to appear like a philestine but never heard of him/it/her! Toto'll be along in a while she'll know! Or IA, although she'd never heard of Jean Michelle Jarre so i dunno if she will.

    Bummed cause i like to think my musical knowledge is passable.

    Hi Jet sorry your son is ill hope he feels better soon. What a horrible experience for you with the fox . Maybe he was very hungry and that made him bolder, or desperate . It must be difficult for the urban foxes in this cold snap we have been having.

    Wow! That's a bit scary but amazing.... I've never seen a fox, cept by the side of a road... and it was already dead by then.

    Hope little one feels better soon, Jet!
