Hey there HB,
Even the funny Brits in Sunny DR appreciate your humour (we spell the word correctly though!!). Once this influx of mail & recurring virus infected incoming mail has been rectified, I shall try to think of some suitable response to you!! For now, thanks for the smile that went across my face - I needed it.

Take care - Grahame.

Im writing this with tears in my eyes. Where did you get that stuff. Im sure I know some of them callers! I think many of them were due to our lager and beer being stronger than your presidente!

i once saw a list with the 50 worst country and western song titles, have you seen it. It is too funny, i will find it and post some of the best. One which sticks in my head is a beautiful C & W ballad called " Your the reason our kids are so ugly " !

i'll b in DR next week

" Your the reason our kids are so ugly " !
Pretty much catches you off guard, and then you laugh 'till you can't cry any more.
Thanks for the chuckle I can take in to the weekend.

That's a great one HB. I really liked that. Hope to see you all in the DR soon.
