Windsurfers do it standing up Here are some others... Bridge Players do it with a dummy Snooker players do it by putting their balls in their pockets Rugby players do it with odd shaped balls Brain surgeons do it very slowly (and use special tools) GP's do it every 20 minutes and keep it up all day (a reference to our over-worked health service - a GP is a family doctor) Accountants do it with double-entry Gluons do it with charm Quantum Physicists do it discretely Field engineers do it by taking it down and bringing it up again Cricket players do it with stumps The morse code operators daughter did it, did it, did it.... and for those of you who've followed some of my previous postings... Bellringers do it on consecrated ground PNX will do it (in the next release) All this is not unrelated to a song by Noel Coward which I can only half remember. It goes something like this... "Birds and Bees do it, , Even educated fleas do it, Let's do it, Let's do it again!" Can anyone supply the missing line, and some of the other verses?? I could sing you the tune, but I don't think it would carry across the net! Robert J Stroud, Computing Laboratory, University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
