    who has good friday off??

    I'm sort of off. But not off. I have to go in for about an hour to calibrate two radiotherapy treatment machines, then I get to go home, where I have to sit and twiddle my thumbs, on call until around 12.30 to 13.30...

    You've got the wrong bloke, I'm not into footb... sorry, soccer. And if you're brewing up, yeah, a good mug o' tea will do nicely thanks. I like mine strong, a dash of milk, but no sugar. Bad for the teeth, y'see..

    How much is gas where you live?

    Painful, innit? :( Yeah, we do get the diesel version, but in terms of fuel expense it's no help, as that particular fuel is even more expensive than unleaded... And I believe in terms of fuel costs, the Dutch are only slightly lower than us.

    How much is gas where you live?

    Hehe! You people on that side of the Atlantic don't know how lucky you are with your gas prices. I filled up yesterday and it was 91.9 pence (UK) a litre. Most of that is tax. :( In US terms that's...well, I don't know but you can work it out... Great board all round, btw. Phil
