Nor me, but referring to my old Vizes he also goes

Snut Snut!

Ag! Ag!

Nuff Nuff!

Kwah! Kwah!

Arp! Arp!

Kwoooph! Kwoooph!

Hoff! Hoff!

Micheal emailed me this morning. Got in the top 30 (just like the previous College) but just about missed out on the top 15. :(

ah, that must be so disappointing but still displays you have talent.

Yeah, suppose, but it doesn't make it any easier. :(

I'm guessing all those rejected, have received the same 'you were in the final 30' email.

With respect, Don - bollocks! I am not going to sit down and write 280 or so individual emails.
