I had to point you out to Rob as well, but then he's always been crap at
recognising people.

In fairness, you probably don't see your own face from the side terribly
often, mind.

So, do we have to pay to speak to you now, then? :-)

Fame gone to your head already. I asked nicely for an autograph now that you're
famous and got no response. I dunno, some people get soooo hoity-toity with a
bit of fame. Goes straight to the head.. Don't want your bl**dy autograph
anyway. So there!

Cheers, helen s ;-)

I presume that stands for Glass Beer Pitchers....

I shall now withdraw from this conversation on grounds of poverty :-)

I was planning to send you a scanned one, but it's on the Babbage-box at
Larrington Towers, which is suffering from Unhappy Scanner ATM. Also I
didn't get in until after midnight last night, and probably won't tnoight
either, dirty stop-out that I be.

Fee for writing the above: One bag of mint humbugs. Plus VAT.

Would that be "Bah!" humbugs and a box of choc licquers containing VAT 69?

Hi there.

Good article! I bought a copy of NS to read on the train home last
night after reading this thread.

Unfortunately I went on to read the piece about Quantam Game Theory and
now my head hurts. Can anyone explain it to me?
Cheers Andy
