Well, I've always felt quite flexible on the age restrictions, provided the price was right. A was it?

RIB! of course.
This damn useless Universal Translator I got from K-mart has it listed as IRB. And there's no point to arguing with them and their bank of lawyers - they'll insist that Inflatable should come before Rubber as 'inflatable' further defines the kind of 'rubber barman' you have; where-as Rubber Inflatable is mildly redundant.
In their snarky lawyer way, they'll ask how rubber can be said to further define inflatable since if it's inflatable it must needs be made of rubber. Any mention of vynil or flexible plastics and they'll go all teary-eyed and dream of patent litigation.
As they say down at the inflatable woman factory - your chick is in the mail.

Rubber Inflatable is the common way of saying it for a certain generation of certain British children brought up watching a certain animated series about a certain cat owned by a certain Henry and his certain evil nemesis, a certain Rum Ba Ba, and his Rubber Inflatable gadgets.
I have no idea why I just said certain there.

No doubt ..there is some question ..some unlikely but potential variable overshadows one-hundred-percent certainty in this particular.

Is that like in: "IRB or IR not B? That is the question, whether 'tis better to suffer the slings and arrows ..etc"?
Anyway, IR. Hope UR2.

D'you know today my text entry box is in courier (or some similar font) whereas I'd swear it was in Arial yesterday. Computers: you can't turn your back on them for a minuted...

Using a different browser? I know Mozilla (aka Netscape 6/7) lets you choose, while IE forces Courier...

I find this all to be needlessly geeky. It almost makes one yearn for the old days of concrete discussions.
