Hello all,

I guess this didn't get through last time, I'll try again...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just some observations...

There is a cockney (London slang) usage for "Gaffa" (well that's how
it is pronouced, more than "Gaffer" - like "wanna" than "Want to")
which means "a boss/supervisor/manager".

I calculated Nov 97 (going by the release dates of the others - excluding
boxed sets, collections, etc).

As long as they're not magazine listing either!

Unless you wear a lampshade!

PS Can I suggest a quote on the end of the RFAQ:

	In my dome of ivory,
	A home of activity,
	I want the answers quickly,
	But I don't have no energy.

	I hold a cup of wisdom,
	But there is nothing within.
	My cup, she never overfloweth,
	And 'tis I that moan and groaneth.
