Evidence of upsurge in coin-collecting?

Billy Well, because of the size of their population, certainly. But in modern times it's only since the 1980s, when China's state-directed industrialisation started to take off (you can forget Mao's reign, with his campaigns to scare birds out of trees and exhort the population to use home-kilns), that it has come to rival the West in its usage of resources. I remember reading a Grauniad article in 2006 by a correspondent who visited one of the new cities. He was dizzied by the frenetic pace of development. It's thanks to the Chinese that half (or is it now over half?) of the world's population now live in cities. This terrifies the likes of James Lovelock, of Gaia fame, who worries about what it'll do to the Earth's climate. As the old Scottish bloke on Dad's Army used to say: "Aye... We're all DOOMED!!!"

And I thought that was normal - for half of the population, anyway. . In those days, of course, it was only polite to talk about tails with reference to coins or animals. So perhaps I should say I was born with five limbs. The fifth one's so short, I sometimes wonder if my mum was on Thalidomide. Adam. |

That could also be marketing wordsmithing. The exact meaning might be, "I'm
taking two weeks vacation so don't expect your stuff until I get back from Hawaii". Bob wrote in message ...

Bob A devious person like me - or you :-) - might operate like that, but Joel is a very straight-forward guy, and if he *was* taking a holiday, he would post a message to that effect - and he has done so in the past. Once, he explained that there'd be a delay in mailing out orders because he was taking time out to watch his daughter graduate from military academy. Adam. |
