Hello all, I guess this didn't get through last time, I'll try again... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just some observations... > Q: What does "Gaffa" mean? > A: Duct tape. [see also 1.1.] 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". > Q: When is Kate's next album coming out? > A: Your guess is as good as mine. I calculated Nov 97 (going by the release dates of the others - excluding boxed sets, collections, etc). > Q: Even at length? > A: Yes. Well, don't go TOO far - posting multi-megabyte discographies is > frowned on (and yes, people have done that). Use your judgement. > [see also 1.1.] As long as they're not magazine listing either! > Q: Can I even talk about Tori Amos? > A: Yes, you can even talk about Tori Amos. [see also 2.2.] Unless you wear a lampshade! Bryan Dongray 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.
