  I thought you were going to say you didn't normally beg for food.

   

  In the early eighties, my sister once kept a plastic glass of orange juice that the terribly manly Simon le Bon had thoughtlessly left too close to the front of the stage. It was discovered in her wardrobe six months later. No liquid remaining, but an impressive selection of green and purple fuzzy felt farm animals.

  Nice little tale, Milinda.  I'll confess to being a fan of Simple Minds, old AND new.  (Not counting the covers and the awful Street Fighting Years album). They've done some great tunes - that's all that matters to me. J

   

  Cheers,

  Janean
