Remember: Rho is omnipresent! He exists throughout spacetime (apparently) and appears on demand (sometimes) or when he really wants to.
> But my Entries have re-materialised (phew)
Hooray for that! We won't have to plot to infiltrate Ed Pol - again.

Alabaster was my auto skin, so I'm just used to it. though Brunel is easier apparently, and goo prettier 
Mine is work fine and dandy!

Way back in the past, in the time of Greebo's quizz, I waited for the question:
Wich movie can be found in "Alabaster, Brunel, Classic Goo"?

The ican skin has some subtle advantages. Otherwise it's brunel for the functionality.

">Alabaster - like "New Coke"< New Coke was simple, relaxing and easy on the eye?"
Yes, it was. Which is why it's completely unlike Alibaster.

I would like a serious answer to a serious question (OK I know I ain't going to get it)
Why does a simple announcement like the one at the head of this thread generate such an enormous number of replies?

Nah, it's because hootooers will use any excuse to talk extensively about not very much Maybe also something to do with the Brits all liking something to do while they are at w*rk
Although I suspect this time there has been FBI/Italian/Swiss involvement 
F135418?thread=502098 It would certainly explain the sudden appearance of the stoats
