Friday.
Dancing with the stars in Argentina
I assume it's genuine.
I find it difficult to look at this without thinking of Rodney Hide.

I'd add my plea to those who've asked for more than just "Page X of Y", First/Older and Newer/Last. When I've missed discussion for a while, I'd like to be able to quickly navigate to a certain page, and read from there.
I'm particularly pleased with how Public Address now looks and operates on a iPod.

You had to line the boxes with newspaper before filling them with dirt. That's where I read the stripper story.

FWIW, here's my take on umlauts and diareses (diearesises? diaresi? diarama?)
An umlaut changes a to ae; o to oe; or u to ue. (No umlauts on i or e, and it's mostly a German thing, but some Scandinavan languages seem to use it.)
A double-dotty diaresis tells you to pronounce neighbouring vowels separately. A good example is "coöperation" (this "spelling" not seen so commonly as a few years ago). Another is "naiïve".

Third child! Have you not worked out what's causing them, yet?
