peer agreement (net): +8the icing on the cake Explanation: idiomatic expression -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 mins (2004-02-11 20:51:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or \"the epitome\" of British totalitarianism -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2004-02-11 21:40:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hm, I think I prefer epitome as well in this context.
