Good word that one-wonder where the smartarse who produced it dug it up from.

Not noticed a lot of Anomie down here in the SW though. Most are very happy to live here.

Only because it was the subject of my post!

I am sure there will be a department of "Finding Things to Whinge About" if you take a look though!

Lonely Southerners, it isnt too late! Would you like to know your neighbours? Would you like strangers to say 'hello' to you? Would you like to be able to buy a house for a more sensible price? Would you like to learn to drive in the snow?
