Whatca be callin' my gurl Ray? I has Cooter sends yew over a box what special delivery an all ifin ya ain't careful boy!

Hiya miya,

It appears that I have been misunderstood. This is entirely due to language and culture differences between our great countries. (I sound like George bush now!) No offence meant, I was joking!

You can call off your Cooter now. I'll be even more frightened of opening mail, what with the bills, the tax demands and the begging letters! I will definitely stop sending out the begging letters now!

Thanks, Lyn, as always, my interpreter!!  LOL.

Yeah, I knew a little about it, but not as camp.  In American they use the word campy to descibe camp.

Moan all you want.

It just has to be frustrating in a job like yours to be taken advantage of, and to be messed around by idiot kids.

I agree, Jason.  Vent all you want.  For those of us who don't know, it's an eye opener just to hear about some of the c**p that's part of your job.  And in case you feel stuff like that is thankless, I think I speak on behalf of everybody here when I say THANK YOU for putting up with stuff like that as all part of the job.
