  You had a post dated 10/21/08 where you referenced a sound clip that you have from Billy Connolly saying "We want this! And that! We demand a share in this, and most of that, some of this, and all of that! Less of that, and more of this, and plenty of this! And another thing - we want it now! We want it yesterday, and we want more tomorrow! And the demands will all be changed then, so stay awake!" Do you still have the clip and if so could I ask you to email that to me? I have been scouring the internet for it- Thanks! u2bonoeire@rcn.com
