24-11-2006Eddie: 1. I'm female 2. What the heck else is this site for then? Stop taking up comment space with your mindless 'everything MUST be of crucial importance to the furthering of humanity' posturing and get yourself a life. Preferably one that contains the odd smile, laugh, or, heaven f...moreZee
