    Whoever wrote that story was most certainly a Yank, as illustrated by this bit:

      Then I suspect that I was told the story the other way round, for I heard the radio version first (i.e. I was informed that what I heard as "Beetle Juice" was a non-fictional entity).

        I grew up confused if "beetle-juice" was a mickey-take/error by the narrator or the real pronounciation.

          If you could see your futures then you would believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.


          Altough - half of the lies I tell you are not true - and

            1025 after 51 days without any.

            Only a little one though and has nearly faded away.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              A wee sunspot is a start - but I did say it would be October till you see them in earnest - again you have to watch these time-travellers - still global financial crises fixed and Sunspots repaired - not bad for a weekends work and I still had time for the beach party.

              If theres anything else that I can help with - just shout.

              Sorry for breaking your Sun in the first place - I didnt mean any harm- but All is well that Ends Well.



              Listen - its time to get back into the Tardis - well enjoy your dull jobs or whatever it is you get up to - Im off for some more Adventures in Space amd Time !

                  Get real.

                    Didn't think computers took holidays...

                      My one did. 3 weeks in Lanzarote. Didn't get a stroke of work done, then it rolls into work all la de da, hdd brimming with holiday snaps like nothing had happened.
