(sorry too many commercials on tv lately dealing with italian ethnic types )

Gosh! I remember that! Was it really the Mafia? I don't remember hearing that! In that case, I take back the suggestion, lol!

I'm ok. How's yourself? Just been listening to a Jeremy Paxman interview with Colin Powell. Seems like a very sensible chap, not hawkish, but not mawkish, either. Sensible and practical. Not the sort to send out the bombers and the missiles, by the sound of it.
