        The UK version is slightly different however; the US `melting
face' is slightly more developed and has a harpe glinting in the centre of
the good eye; the UK version doesn't have the harpe so you can't use it as
a proper BOC cover and have to put up with Gaia, who quite frankly isn't
my type. Not that the geezer with his face off is, obviously, but you get
my point. I hope. Um. Yours,
                             Jon
