Not too lately, no... isn't little Conor due? Dunno... haven't heard anything from her for ages. Hope she's well... Oh righty. Well she's not on yur much, for starters! Try her Myspace page perhaps? I believe all is fine, happily with this Nathon fella, and expecting a baby boy around nowish as far as I remember - who they're going to call Conor, I think.

Do you agree with Agent Smith in the Matrix? "Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet." Actually, that caused great indignation among my friends when we watched it, because we'd been discussing that very notion over a year before the Matrix was released. Bastards stole our idea!

To answer the other queries; yes Hurls, I honestly would rather be a wolf in a pack in the wild than to live life as I do now. Given the choice between stress, deadlines, money etc or simply wondering where the next rabbit I'm gonna catch is, I know what I'd go for! (I'd never be one to challenge for the leadership of a pack - I'm a hunter/scout - so I wouldn't have to worry about early ejection! ;D) And as for the going price for a Neko; factoring in conversion rates, relative cost of living and so forth, Neko is hirable for £200 for a minimum of 4hrs, though he'll stay longer if he's being treated well

"Like 25 little Rory Calhouns!" ;D Have you been watching the Simpsons a lot of late? My aged, frazzled brain only remembers significant life moments, the names and appearance of various people, a smattering of ancient and medieval history, and a huge variety of literary and tv quotations! Billy - Spozz answered your question I think!

Is human life really that bad? I can't imagine so. I know what you mean about the apparent ease of being a different creature though - it is often expressed within the literary canon of human expressions (eg: free as a bird?)

I'm under no illusion - for all the crap I have to worry about, I've got it easy. All of us on here have. I don't believe that this is how life should be lived though. I don't want to be in the rat race, but I can't escape it until I've played the game long and hard enough to get the means to. Are you really happy just floating along with your life as it is, or would you rather escape it all and really live? 'cause if you're happy to just say, "Whatever, at least I exist," and just carry on, then you may as well be dead, in my eyes. If you're gonna live, then for God's sake, live.

Right - but I still don't know who he is - and I don't watch the Simpsons Dunno who he is, but in one episode of the Simpsons, their dog fathers some puppies, and Bart's reaction to them is, "They're like 15 little Rory Calhouns!" Assuming I'm thinking of the right quote, of course

If you're gonna live, then for God's sake, live.*Sighs* For me that's a separate issue from whether it's better to be a human or a moth! I'm not sure to be honest, but if I thought "really living" entailed chucking in my job right now, then I would. As to whether our existence has meaning or purpose... well I don't want to depress people, or tell anyone they "might as well be dead"

That's the one! Apparently, this is Rory Calhoun: According to IMDB, he starred in such classics as The Great John L, That Hagen Girl, Massacre River, County Fair, Flight to Hong Kong (sounds riveting ), Apache Territory and Dayton's Devils, among others - 127 listed acting roles to his name, most recently in one episode of 'Tales From The Crypt'
