Why are boats (& cars) women - because men generally waste hours and hours of time as well as thousands of pounds getting one and keeping it happy...

My Topper was given, ages before I got it, the highly imaginative name of "Topple" (if one of you did it  ). As Contender443 was called "The Golden Snitch", I wanted to call it the Quaffle. But that's about six years ago, before the big HP craze. It sounds quite cheesy now... except that LWD, BWD's daughter, is thrilled cos she's a huge fan of the Potter boy!

Didn't you get the grades with your results? And are those subjects vital for your university/college course?

It literally means: "To have other cats to whip", have better things to do... In English, you would say: to have other fish to fry, I suppose.

I do "letters and stuff". For a long time, I worked in a multimedia company, translating and testing computer games. Got my hands on the first X-Box, the first GameCube, you name it, all the new consoles, long before they hit the British market. I've seen so many games I can't remember half of them. At Xmas 2003, we were given a copy of a kiddies' game (my forte - I'm also a teacher). I was playing along and had a look at the French version, just for a laugh. First of all, I was surprised to see that the translation was smooth and consistent. Then I got to the credits and I saw my name. I'd done the job myself and didn't remember!! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC
