I've spent a lifetime correcting folk who insist my name is BrunO. Now I have to start teaching the Japanese too! Dash it!
LOL
PS. John, how about 'Bru' - will they take that?

OK strange that all the initial batch of images have gone at least we can now see that the stationmster's real first name is Lorne!!!
John Fowles
Ok I now see that the images "are stored in a temporary folder and are deleted after 24 hours."

I've lost ma'name!!! :( WaaaaH!! Fine,Japan...just be that way! :D

Give us tthe info we want or I swear,we'll make the duo "Pink Lady" popular in your country again! :eek:

I "know" you don't want that! :cool:

Well John, I'm surprised that you did not figure that out already! Some folks have. ;)

Well John, I'm surprised that you did not figure that out already! Some folks have. ;) [/QUOTE]OK I guess I missed what you said in the "Picture that song" topic back on August 14th 2004
when I now see that you said:-
" I have a busy day ahead. Have a good night! Lorne"
John

Very good John! I didn't really think that you missed that one. You are far too observant! ;)

Hmmm. I missed it, too. Or maybe I didn't miss it. Maybe it's stuck in my short term memory somewhere.
