I didn't know about the Bali angle but I must admit, I laughed when I read about the German tourist being eaten by a croc. If it's any consolation to her family, the croc would've got really bad heartburn. I've heard they get that after eating morons.

Yeah, I know, I'm a sick fuck but what else can you do but laugh? The billabong had plenty of signs warning against swimming and the signs all contained the No Swimming pictogram, so even a non-English reader would've known what it meant.

Maybe it was one of those, "I've cheated death once, nothing can hurt me" kind of things. But I've no idea. And funnily enough, I haven't heard the death reported at all here in Germany (which isn't saying too much, as I don't read a German paper, but still).

I think the newsworthiness of the poor woman's demise was increased by the fact that they actually had pictures of her from the previous couple of days -- "Pretty Blonde Tourist In Tears At Darwin Airport After Escaping From Bali".

Fiona - Buffy Tapes are currentlybeing smuggled to me in the diplomatic bag - should arrive tomorrow!

Yay Jim! I've been meaning to ask.... So, how fast do you think you'll be able to watch them?!

This weekend - if I know J&I we'll watch'em back to back...

So, after they go to you Fiona, where will they go then? Hint, hint...

John, I'll email you (as soon as I get around to it). Profile address good?

THey haven't arrived here yet, due to the horrors of privatised postal services...

John, I'll email you (as soon as I get around to it). Profile address good?

Yes, and thank you!
