raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Dec. 07 2002, 21:48 How come all these numbers are out of order? From what I count, my next one would be number 39.

You are dissapointed when quiz nights never have Mike Oldfield questions 41. You need good sailor music for a play, so you instantly get the Sailor's Hornpipe from TB. 42. You can't come up with names for story characters, so there is always a Mr Oldfield whenever you write. 43. Your in-box is cluttered with 'your topic has recieved a reply' because everyone posts here! OK, that's all for now. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
