    Make new friends,
    but keep the old.
    One is silver,
    the other is gold.
    A circle is round,
    it has no end.
    That's how long,
    I will be your friend.

    Maybe it's something to do with illiterate people in ye olden dayes signing their name with an X. Or something. :confused:

    Seriously now this is getting kind of wierd, the second time now over the past 2 days i was going to post about something but when i got around to posting it someone else had already posted about it, that's today with the xxx's, i was going to ask why do you put xxx if you do somewhere like a message or card.

    I don't really use xxx very much.
