Well, thanks Big Grin. I shall spend my year working with children, supporting charity, being a "United Nations diplomat" .. No..hang on.. that's my Miss Universe acceptance speech for last year.

Anyway, while I'm waiting for the script writers for this... Thanks for your kind words and the honour. Big Grin

Well, actually, Sherasi I failed the medical.Well, I say that. To be truthful, I forgot to shave my legs before one round, and questions were asked. Pity, seeing as I had the speech written and everything.

Never mind. I am entered for the best dressed visitor on Ladies' Day at Galway races this year. It is always won by a female but there's nothing in the 'small print' about gender so I'm hopeful. Of course being Ireland,I might lose to a horse as it says 'visitor' but doesn't say anything about species either Frown

An opportunity to pick the steel-trap mind of a Fred Puli is a liberal education - and it's free of charge!!! Congrats, Fred. Wink
