Gr8 - love this! Funny la u z-man! Would it be ok for me to plagerise this on my blog? It's a new habit I have formed to avoid having to create content myself. I wonder...at which point do blog entries cease to contain original content and become instead mirrors of other people's posts? Anyway I am always tempted to 'steal' your stuff...this time I thought I would ask ;)
steal my stuff? hmm.. there has to be something innit for me. just a small token will do, first born child or equivalent
