Hi, Paul Quinn!
I read your message from  08.04.2014 10:04
about Some observations.

 PQ>>> That's me! I did that the night before last: found the bottle
 PQ>>> (Tia Maria), and then proceeded to spill a good deal of a portion
 PQ>>> when I was re-filling a 'hip flask'. 

 ak>> If you spill something on the table you can suck it with your
 ak>> mouth.

 PQ> Not on that table. It hasn't been cleaned for nearly two years!
 PQ> It's in my youngest daughter's room, and she is away nursing at a
 PQ> hospital in the 'wild west', in Mount Isa (a mining town... well,
 PQ> the largest city in the world in fact!). 

Well, fill your hip flask above a soup plate. ;-)

PS: April 15: no connection with your NNTP server.

Bye, Paul!
