CODAMMANUS Mar 11, 2003	I learned something new. How old did you say you were? (Impressed)
griphook Mar 11, 2003	Thanks so much. I am humbled by your kind words. I will be 18 next month. I am looking forward to a couple of beers in the bar. Smile, always smile.
Christina0213 Mar 16, 2003	You can drink beer at 18? Where do you live?
Codammanus Mar 16, 2003	Yeah, (Why didn't I see that). New Zealand? Canada? You can drink at 18 there. I think. Good observation Chirstina0213
Christina0213 Mar 16, 2003	Hehe, thanks Codammus. Maybe it's because I'm 17 myself.
Christina0213 Mar 16, 2003	I apologize - Codammanus. There we go.
