First of all, I just wanted to congratulate Jazz for his story idea - absolutely spiffing, well done! I also wanted to confess that I was so taken by the story that I've filched it. I have combinedd the parts posted by the time of this post, and uploaded them to the following URL http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/maxq/Jazz's story.htmlIf you take a look, you will see that the only person credited is Jazz, as the progenitor. I wanted to see how it read as a whole, and how obvious the transitions were. If anyone feels that what I've done is inappropriate, please let me know, it's the work of two seconds to remove it.

Great idea Max. One thing though - as you've explained at the top of the page what it is about, why not leave the divisions in and separate them by a paragraph so that anyone who wants to see the separate contributions can tell without having to guess which bit was which? It would still make about as much sense, anyway.

You're right - a good idea. I have, in the immortal words of Patrick Stewart, "made it so."

Mercy buckets, wow, I didn't want to engage in that aeons-old primate-grooming ritual with my compatriot. Speaking of French, which we weren't, this little quasimodo can't remember having heard "the Bel, The Bel" recently. I hope that she makes it back toot sweet.

Chastised(interrobang) I was genuinely grateful that someone else yielded to the urge which all but overcame me. The only reason I didn't was to avoid giving the impression of being one of those Klingon-speaking, latex-headed "get a life" Trekkies!
