Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ms MamataShankar, If you think you got the drift, will you be in the lucky league or prefer to be workful instead of larking about on forum(s)? We are serious here; we are deep-blue cerebral, I can assure you. Make no mistake about the fun quotient available here. It can far exceed what you can expect. Can you hold it? I can wager anything (at least a week's mauna) if you can beat, well, me for instance with your expectation. You can't just handle it if humour from is unleashed. We on the honey-dew have fed And drunk the power of Mercury And that's a word of caution. (Oh, did I happen to crank out a nursery rhyme?)
