    I'll offer 60 pounds, payable in monthly contributions to the sum of
    50p. Do you want to bulid in an index linked benefit to this scheme ?
    Something like 24.4% APR ? This would of course mature when you reach
    retirement at 65 or earlier if you die. 
    
    But then if you die would wouldn't be able to spend the money !

    I assume that 'County Clipper' is the pedigree name for when you are
    doing bat shows at the bat equivalent of Crufts, do you call him
    'Count' for short.

    Richard , I feel I must  reply on  behalf of the  silent bat  loving 
    women/girls/females/ladies/nuns etc.   :-  
    Two nuns driving through a cemetery one night when all of a sudden a
    Vampire Bat lands  on the bonnet of the car. One nun panics and asks 
    the other what she should do. "Quick , wind down the window and show 
    it your cross" replies the second nun.... 
    "Oh ,OK !"  says the first nun, and winds down the window and shouts 
    "GET OFF THE ******* BONNET!!!"

Or more accurately the first is a directory structure and file 
name the second just an irritating file name with spaces, or a bunch 
of files:

	Don't bank on it. I understand that the Unix(tm) branding of
	Digital(tm)'s OSF/1(tm) is well in hand.
	Of course, this may beg the question of whether any DEC product has

Well its for one of the people I share a house with (Who plays cricket) to
