Here you see the Government arriving, right on schedule, at stage two - anger. "Go on, dump me. Go out with Kevin, that dumb lug, that phony. See if I care. You deserve each other, you pair of losers. When it all falls apart and interest rates are up around your ears you can forget about coming crawling back to me, and, by the way, I am totally keeping the dog AND the Bette Midler DVD boxed set."

Stage three - bargaining - is often a long and unpleasant phaseof relationship breakdown, and in this case is likely to persist,at ever-increasing volumes, until some yet-to-be-identified Saturday in October, November or December when the future of this relationship will be decided.

Wash the possum, dry the possum, turn the possum over!

I can now confirm that the possum-related telephone message, last semester, was not just an incident of Ratenator Pointless Advice. An unfortunate second year did, in fact, wash a possum. (but not dry it or turn it over, since it was by the end of the wash an ex-possum)

Great friends have made me.
