*         Hello, Mum … !

†        I’ve had that happen, myself, Olga: back when I was working at KFC … !   I turned up for at least one shift on the wrong day: and ended up smelling of fried chicken on a day I didn’t need to … !

        And cheers: it’s nice to see I’d lost a nice amount … 

‡        Morning, Irene: how is the day … ?   I do movie reviews, if you and Jim are interested: feel free to look them up.   You can see the video versions, here … 

§        It’s friendly, sometimes, Debbi!   Except when a drunken customer’s using it … !

        Oh, did you hear Val Kilmer’s died?   I might just have to did up a copy of The Doors.
