Ahhh thank you for the educational moment [img]smile.gif[/img]
And since you took the time to look up Ray Grass I thought I might
tell you that my name is actually Raymond which equates to "Harvest Moon" in some languages [img]smile.gif[/img]

Actually I put "grass" into the online dictionary and Ray Grass was the first definition. Strange but true.

Ahem.....Donut! Donut! Donut! Donut!....(ok, so imagine it's high pitched and sounds like "BASIL!")

LOLOLOL! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] As it happens, I like Fawlty towers and as this isn't about the war or Iraq (fyi! a NEW forum is coming soon for that stuff), ....I will just sit and chuckle, contemplating the episode with the garden gnome....hehe...hope you're sitting down, Donut! LOLOLOL! ;) *snicker*
