Holy cow, Simon! *Det er bare løgn! *

Are you telling me that I have a CoCo-nut living in my backyard?!? And here
I thought I was the unique and only one in Denmark, and couldn't even find
any in Dutchland anymore?

Nice to meet you! *Hvordan går det?* I live in Jels, which under an hours'
driving away! Maybe we should hook up some time and talk things CoCo. Just
wait till you'll see my CoCo stash... Just drop me a private mail, before I
do. I am fluent in Danish nowadays. :-)

Cheers,
Fedor Steeman
