   tell me about it!  i long to get away from   
   the city, but life has other ideas, it   
   seems, for now... i don't know much about   
   pope but this struck several chords with me.   
      
   btw, _the_  pope   is coming to brum, to   
   beatify a dead dude - ( ticket only).  the   
   pallaver just makes llanberis call all the   
   louder, brian in wales, you have been   
   warned... : - )
