BASTARD SCHOOLTEACHERS, If they'd told me only those that
can spell properly would enter the kingdom of heaven I would have
paid more atention. Typical bloody women giving me a spelling test
before I can enter an orggy. (I could only spot one mistake, come
should have been spelt cum)

Try correcting these sentences Eva:

This is sentence no. 1, it contains only onc spelling mistake.
This is sentence number 2, it contains 9999 number 2's.

I know from reading some of your postings that you are a
Hofstadter fan so they probably wont be new to you.
I am a hofstadter fan too, Ive read all 3 of his books but
recently tried to get hold of his latest "fluid concepts and
creative analogies" (I just know its going to be fucking brilliant)
but the bookstore said that the publishers had decided not to
publish it in britain. Where are you? have you read it?
