That would be awesome! I'm in New Zealand, if you make it this far it'd be
good to catch up. (Far nicer place than Aussie, not as hot) I've never met a
R.E.F. fan I didn't relate to.

Get use to it; Honda's building cars in the US and GM in Mexico. Ozzy
wineries are buying vineyards in Portugal so they become "EU Companies,"
and don't have to pay tarrifs on wines from Downunder coming up to Old
Blighty. Ford owns Jaguar (and what an improvement that was) but the
cars are still built in Coventry.

It's the future.

Best, R.E.F.

Errr, it's "yahooers" at the moment, I change it regularly to try to confuse
