Yeeeeah, gotta say I'm probably mourning the passing of Annette Funicello today a little more than I am of Thatcher's.

(...though shallow person that I am, that MIGHT have somethin' more to do with the thought that Margaret never looked quite as good in a one-piece swimsuit as Annette did!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
