Provided she knew.

The Dutch newspapers. It's not certain he is the father of the child, but he did time for abuse of another daughter, who is now in her thirties.

@laxidaisy: As an IT person, can you shed some light on the prolific use of "Please advise." in IT? I didn't know that phrase at all until I started working at an international firm (I'm not a native English speaker) and now I'm tripping over it and it's puzzling. I mean, it doesn't seem to mean anything but "answer…

@SydneyHighBoots(ZippyTheLangoustine): I don't know about that, but I do know that one of our 40+ managers emails in text speak. Because it's "funny" (much like office jokes in powerpoint used to be).
