    canuck = Canadian. It seemed like a reasonable name for a Canadian working in Caithness. Still applies now that I live in Edinburgh.

    PS - Today I found an ice scraper for the car!

    Kuwait in 98 .. They are not really Spiders, more like a Spider - Scorpion hybrid. I just had the wound cleaned and a shot to fight any infection. Not a big deal really.

    Was on the org using a joint name with OH but now on in my own right so had to choose a name. Was called Twig at school and my favourite savoury snack are twiglets. It seemed the obvious choice.

    My name is connected with Little Red Riding Hood (watch out wolves - this grandma fights back) and I've recently become a granny for the first time.

    I knew an auld idiot who called me 'Charmaine'

    That's why I'm not called that

    Only one orger knows the story of 'Karia'...and she values her life!
