Re: Niples, Emma, Kara, Dean \"Urban Redevelopment\"

OOC- Andy/Jay just reminded me that Karas a hologram so the
deridgidizer wouldnt work on her, but she's hard light- so what if
her advanced light bee simulates what would happen?
There ya go nitpickers! hehe
Oh and unfortunately I missed out on going to an awards evening with
work (awarding some Engineering companies for measuring or
something) but the evening was hosted by Robert Llwellyn!!
Anyway my boss couldt get me in, but he did get his autograph, wahay!
I was going to give it away as a prize for a Blue Dwarf competition,
but he's signed it personally to me and called me a Smeg Head, hehe!
