That was nice of him.

I hope you thanked him.

No i dont think they make them, or anything else for that matter, that good 
anymore.

Yes i imagine it would be.

Aha.

Which makes for a verry nice collection.

Aha.

 > Do you play any instruments?


I talk a lot, I sing a little, i plink on Keyboards and Piano, And i bang on 
Drums, not that anyone ever actually wants me to continue.
