Yeah, bug, I keep meaning to ask: why the sex change? Do you something important to tell us?

A log wood fire...how rustic and exciting. It must be like an adventure every day, going out to chop trees down, cutting up tree trunks to create fire wood - or I've been reading too much Treasure Island. Scientifically, wood fires are often much more efficient than gas fires and coal fires, also environmentally friendly, since sustainably managed wood sources are carbon neutral. It beats my carbon monoxide emitting, boring gas fire, which never tends to light.

I've noted the sex change too. Bug, you're much more attractive with a female avatar, so I hope the procedure isn't permanent and can be reversed when convenient.

David Flippin' Bowie? I hope I'm not being sacrilegious in saying this, but he's got cod eyes - they're like dead fish's.

Wally, they are, in fact , multi coloued: one is green and the other blue. Not cod like at all. Where's the whisky smilie????

Yes, and one is glass - so quite a dead eye! The multi-coloured eyes have always been one of his major attractions and sources of intrigue.

I think am the most confused or may be the most ... well i don't know, you judge.

you all lightened up my night and warmed my feet in this snow  ;-) (snowman)
Such a nice bunch of people here, your conversations made me laugh, i really needed that. I feel much better now.
i like your good sense of humour, unfortunately I don't know what to say, so I would just say thank you.:$:-x(up).

Eska, a friend of mine used to swear by Jack Daniels to help with the marking. Apparently, everything looks much better after a glass of JD. Personally I find the Stair Method works well - find a nice big staircase, throw the essays down the stairs and the ones that go the furthest get the best marks. Feedback is also easy "Your essay was too light and not aerodynamic." Easy ;-)

Me too! Couldn't do without my hot water bottle. And I have a lovely warm blanket to snuggle up with- bliss!!
