I'm disappointed...

The swimming pool is on the same street as my work... and you didn't pop in to say Hi and have a coffee? We even have our own espresso machine here!

Mind you, it's a long commute for you, perhaps you wanted to get back home in time...

:\

Cheers
Jon

Now that's how you do a viral campaign...one of the best I've seen for a while.




Never ask what sort of computer a guy drives. If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him?
