My apologies if it's >obvious for you who have English as a mother tongue. I had the same question as Anders which has now been answered. I'm not so sure that having English as a mother tongue is going to help much in deciphering these things. I have spoken English and only English for almost 31 years, and I can honestly say that quite frequently I have NO IDEA what K8's talking about. One must journey to the UK, home of the GR8 K8, and ask the fine citizens there. I would guess that there are a lot of inside jokes and cultural references that a person couldn't understand without the aid of the BBC and all of the shared experiences therein. I would suspect in K8's case that it helps to have also been raised Catholic (reference the Gaffa debate) Any UK Love Hounds care to comment on this? I for one was surprised at the influence that movies have had on her work over the years. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ | John Walker | | Email: jwalker@intecom.com | | Voice: (214) 447-8321 | | Fax: (214) 447-8071 | \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
