Ed, you are a regular Steven Segal...at least it's funny to hear an Osaka accent from a round-eye . And I cheated of course...wife's from Osaka. Later, dude! Coffee's on me.

Taison The Forum Dragon Professional Poster Registered: 09/06/05 Posts: 3629 Loc: BKK, Thailand	He got very good Thai as well [although not fluent]. And the thing that shocks me, he has a northern accent on it. That's some really strange stuff. -Taison out _________________________ I got two fists.. Don't make me use my head as well!
