==============================
 GJ> Ah!  Of course.  I forgot the matter of timing.  While the orchestra
 GJ> is tuning he is still getting his make-up fixed.

Stuff like that.

 ML> 3. The cue thing is one of the most correct statements you have
 ML> ever made, though you made it in jest.
 GJ> As that is a claim made by most first violins, it _must_ be true.

How many first violins have you met?

 GJ> I have just returned from Perth to a cold, wet, Adelaide, with a wet
 GJ> cold.  Seat 1C on the Tiger A320.  As I was the front row, I didn't
 GJ> have serious knee space problems, but the man behind me did, and his
 GJ> knees kept pushing into my back through the thin upholstery.

Tiger has the famed 180-pax Airbuses: this means somewhat reduced
legroom - civilized airlines such as Aeroflot and US Air have
140-150 seats in the same size aircraft.

 GJ> One disadvantage of a front row seat is that there is no "under the
 GJ> seat in front of you" for stowing carry-on

There isn't much advantage to a front row seat, unless it
is in first class. As I warned you, "01A usually gets less
carry-on storage than most seats." I periodically have sat
in a row 1 coach class seat but try to avoid it if I am
carrying more than a briefcase.

 GJ> Another dining experience was at "Annalakshmi", an Indian (probably
 GJ> Hari Krisna) vegetarian restaurant above the Perth ferry terminal.
 GJ> ...  The next day I decided that I could recommend that restaurant
 GJ> to anyone suffering from constipation!

SNM!

 -=> Glen Jamieson said to Jim Weller <=-

 JW> Are you pulling our collective leg again? Smiths weren't black,
 JW> they worked with black metal... iron, as opposed to gold smiths or
 JW> silver smiths.
 GJ> You are probably right.  I was thinking of a smith all covered with
 GJ> soot from his furnace, but your explanation makes more sense.
 GJ> Did you hear about how the inventor of the steam hammer, James (I
 GJ> think) Naismith got his name?

The only James Naismith I know of was the inventor of
basketball.

 His ancestor was being chased by
 GJ> members of another clan, so he ran into a nearby smithy and pretended
 GJ> to be a smith, but as he hit a lump of iron with a hammer, he mis-hit
 GJ> and broke the hammer handle.  His pursuers saw this, and exclaimed,
 GJ> "Ye're nae smith!"  Presumably he managed to survive and prosper, and
 GJ> produce descendants, and the family coat of arms, which featured a
 GJ> broken hammer.

Nae, I canna believe that.
