So, tell me - these damsels in distress you kidnap - are they in distress because they are being kidnapped, or are they in distress already, and you kidnapping them is really an attempt to rescue them from distress?

Well sometimes there already in distress and I save them, but they don't see it that way. THey scream and kick and poke me in the eye with sewing scissors. But, usually they are in distress because they've been kidnapped by a dragon.

Hmmm.. I see - it must be a very ungrateful task then...

Would you like some ?

Sounds like me and I've been here less than a month!

Less than a month?! Have you posted in the 'You know you're an h2g2 addict when...' conversation yet?

No... can you give me a link to it?

Thanx!

Hello. My computer is slow but I'm patient (and a little
