Suckling pig

Saturday was the thirteenth anniversary of the Platypus, so German, the owner, threw a party with a traditional Colobmian barbecue and a group of musicians from the Pacific Coast. It started at lunchtime, and the free beer flowed throughout the afternoon. As night fell everyone was invited to housewarming party by a group of English guys who have just moved into a huge apartment here. My memories of this party are somewhat hazy, as we were all a little worse for wear. But one incident will stay with me forever. I´m not sure how it came about, but at some point in the evening an Israeli bloke announced that he had six nipples. He then opened his shirt to reveal them; three down each side and perfectly symmetrical, like a dog or cat. It´s always hard to know what to say at times like this, but I did my best: "Goodness, you could take female hormones and make a fortune suckling piglets," I ventured. Perhaps, in hindsight, not the best thing to say to a Jew.

Am it? Went camping with the rapidly expanding Emily at the weekend to Glastonbury. Laughed at the thought of your face in the 'Incense and feng-shui' shops!! I know you hate those. Andy Brown did his dirty laugh thinking of the same thing. Dave
