It was mind-boggling to think that they found all that gold etc and someone bothered to make all those things at a time when life expectancy was about 30 (gulp!) The inequality of wealth that there must have been, the notion that the Kings' inner organs should be preserved separately ... like you say, how strange and how macabre.

I think that was the 1979 version.)<BR/><BR/>Yep, I am sad!<BR/><BR/>Have you been to the Tutankhamun exhibition yet?

But read on I did and (gasp) you were too polite to comment on the cup of tea made with a teabag in the cup the other day. Ooops! Now I feel terrible! <BR/><BR/>I think I'd like to go to Egypt, too. Soooo different from housework ... Soooo out of my comfort zone, too. What about Tutankhamun and the pyramids, the treasures and all the gold ...

In fact, if Miss N had not been targeted by her friends then Mrs N would not have been able to share this highly informative tag with Mrs T, thus making Miss N’s afternoon far less enjoyable.

J.K. never had this problem with leaks.<BR/><BR/>However, after reading this I'm going to have to make a few changes to the MS and paint a kinder picture than I have thus far. Having been saddled with a 58 question tag, I reckon you're entitled to moan and whinge a tad ... and might justifiably consider reeking an unpleasant revenge on Mrs N. Something that prevents her playing tennis or writing articles.<BR/><BR/>Have always liked the irony of someone being hoist by their own petard, so suggest you return the favour by sending her a 158 question tag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-6346931504369375192008-06-27T07:08:00.000+01:002008-06-27T07:08:00.000+01:00A 58 item tag???
