Proof-reading results please!

I am going to finish my smiley - tea; pack up a few more boxes, and tackle this in about an hour - ie about 13.30/14.00

So anything which makes it easier or better is gratefully recieved!

Ben

They do you know FABT. Sometimes they take days.

(I think it helps if you leave them something nice to eat)

Right, that is it; tis done.

It would still be worth noting typos, and also noting if I have missed you from the list of credits; but I am finished with it, and am handing it over to the Italics to do with as they will.

Congratulations one and all; it is and always will be one of the Guide's Great Collaborative Entries whatever happens to it.

I have to go now, so it resides in the Guide. I will update the Geocities version next weekend. Time and aeroplanes wait for no-one, certainly not for me.

Why is it that whenever I come here the entry is hidden? smiley - cross

Oh well; no-one can see the new added typos then, I guess.

I am away (working alas, Eccentrica), and cannot update the Geocities version till next weekend. I will do it then, though.

In the meantime - thank you everyone. And fingers crossed, eh?
