p.s. Riots... what the hells with that ????

see, for example, news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1303000/1303899.stm The Mob, of course, is another GreatLondonTradition.

Riots...? A convenient bit of misinformation methinks -- see for yourself at uk.indymedia.org/

If there're any real problems, we can always barricade ourselves in and see how long the Honeydew lasts.

p.p.s. Alan, have you started using the phrase "howdy folks" since you signed up with ObjectMentor?

Hell, Yes. Y'all have a problem with that in these here parts ? --Cowboy Al

Yep, Alan's a truuue 'merican now. Hey, by the way, how do I recognize an English anarchist? Any tips? -- MichaelFeathers (saw some people wearing black this morning but wasn't sure)

Michael is interesting in doing further damage to his career by dissing patterns in the presence of some more GoF authors.... Will there be any filthy pattern-lovers there tonight ? --AlanFrancis (if this makes no sense to you check the recent MVC thread on XP egroup)
