Just as I thought things were nicely under control, alas another outbreak!
Norman, further to your request to us to regard your request to disregard
your request for help.
(I could / should? have used a "goto" or perhaps a
string function there. Is it recursive? or non-recursive recursion?)
Report-1
"Cronje" ("Jack the Dancer's" mate) called over his hedge to me in the High
Street this morning. "Did I know that he'd made a career out of 'doing
nothing' (and he'd lots of papers from the government to prove it) and
therefore there was no need to ask him not to do anything now?" I
certainly did, so I didn't.
[You see the advantages of returning to the village where you were born and
brought up? It has all the benefits of Insider Trading! Otherwise live in
Wales. And I quote (an excellent source) "Well done Wales on Saturday (V
France) :o) :o) :o).

Report-2
Police Divisional HQ (Incident No. E11OX2!).
They say that, even if my tax-disc is "in the post", your blatant
invitation to a public ("any public", they said) to do nothing to assist is
"existential arty-tarty nonsense".
And (please, they said "please") will I tell them more about you. Sorry
Norman, but I said I would. I said that you are a skilled code writer
in assembler and that it's just not true that your stacks get in a mess.
This led to awkward questions like "Stacks eh? What stacks? Just how did he
'acquire' these stacks?"
Though things now seem under control (I suspect) there could yet be some
flaming to come. (;>)
And to Bill (plus any other list members with vulnerable livestock) I'm sure
that all here will join me to sincerely wish you and your farm well
during the present very serious crisis for you all.
Regards to all,
John in Wales
