Attention please...

Having returned from England last week, I really must express greetings and thanks to my good friends there, notably:

Diamond - fiendishly creative, lives in a tea house of sorts and has spent many a night with me in coffee-tangents.

Hanks - superhumanly good at virtually all video games, and a damn fine host to boot. Is in stern competition with Diamond in order to determine who makes the best coffee.

and last but not least

Johnny Alpha - impetuous at times, also makes great coffee and is a great guy. As I write, he is enroute to Iraq - take the best care out there Mr A.
