Isn't it funny how when you hear about something that you haven't heard
about before you keep hearing about it? Only last week my Australian studies
teacher was talking about "Press Gangs" (the origional meaning of the word)
and they also featured in "Tom Jones"
>From me (Oliver) :
We had a theory about this, that you only notice because you know/have
something to do with the reference. When I got an Airdale dog for my 10th
Birthday, we didn't see them hardly ever. But we noticed them all the time
afterwards, and even now, 15 years later in a foriegn country I still notice
Airdales. Ben died in 1992, aged 9. So you probably had heard the word
PressGang befor but paid no attention to it, because it had no resonance
with you.
And now for something completly different :
Haven't been around for a while, watch out for that Kevin dude, he is always
frisky at this time of the month. Pre-Lunar tension all round.
