Well I do have a black t shirt with a legend which I nearly put on this evening... but it is a New Zealand rugby one with "Ruck, maul, tackle - and that's just getting a beer"

Heh. Now I have an image of Mithalwen as a ladette, hanging around with the University Rugby lads having Yard of Ale competitions. Not really...

Biff is not my keeper; he merely dictates for me. Granted, that perhaps makes it possible for him to manipulate my words but that's a whole new trinket of deceit. My keeper is another entity altogether.

But let's open this one up a bit further. How do you imagine Biff? I'll give you one clue to go on. He does not wear a kilt!

Manipulates words huh? Hmm...reminds me of either a lawyer, journalist, or politician.
Lawyer: A highly refined twister of words. This version of Biff will never go without wearing slacks and dress shoes, even in 110 degree weather. He has a clean cut hair style that is parted off to one side.
Journalist: Here my image of him is a bit younger, and he's one of those guys holding a microphone and he wears the same expression on his face year-round. (In fact, rumors say it's stuck that way.) Biff always is found wearing a black fleece jacket. And he has blue eyes and blond hair.
Politician: This is the oldest of the Biffs, and perhaps the most cunning. He's capable of making the most vague promises, because the more general and confusing, the more likely that they will seem to be fufilled. This Biff of course, always wears a tuxedo like outfit when on the job.

I'm really not planning on those being accurate, it was just fun writing those. I wonder if anyone would imagine me different from my allias "Forlorn Melody?"

Well actually really just not recently. I was a founder member of the Woman's Rugby Club at University, was very quick at boat-racing and was an accomplice in various pranks played on our male coaches

....but one of the reasons I stopped in my final year was that they had developed an "out lad the lads" ethos when I was away in France which crossed my personal rubicon.. and I swear I couldn't look less like a ladette......but some of the rugby boys were very nice ... and mixed rugby is a bit of a laugh...

So you were more of a 'ladylike ladette'? I now have an image of you with broad shoulders and a warlike temperament, and a secret beermat collection... But, mixed rugby? No. No I won't go there...

For some strange reason I now imagine The Phantom as Don Dorcha from Lord of the Dance.

I always picture The Phantom as looking like the Secretary of Defense from "24".... no offence...
