Moreover seeing Jennifer doing better than you can be very motivating. Right
I'm off to order a video encoder card, I put the side skirts on my tank last
night and it's looking brilliant and need it's own web site. I'm sure it'll
at least put me on the same continent as regard comparison with Jennifer's
best :-).

Deja Vu
One day I was told of a lego competition at the local church, I simply
scooped up what I had built at the time. Unforunately it was the worst thing
I'd built in a long time, a car ferry. Needless to say I came second to a
worse pile of junk some space thing, at least it was all the same colour.
Anyway at least the sweets we're nice I got for second :-). (I was very
young at the time).
