I'm sorry about the delay in posting the defs. We've had a minor
crisis with our central heating, and I've been on the phone trying to
sort out whether the manufacturer, the installer, or my insurance
company is responsible. Since most of you should still be asleep, I
hope it won't affect you too much.

There are a total of 18 definitions for GENICE. Please vote for two,
by public reply to this message, before deadline, which is


18:00 GMT on 07 January 2012
or 13:00 EST .
or 10:00 PST .

Just as long as it isn't you! and I do hope the crisis is over and that you
have heat, especially if it's as chilly there as it is here.

I believe I'll have the halvah and the heifer:

Thanks to all who wished my central heating well! We've actually got
heat - after an engineer did a quick fix last night - but we're now
arguing over who is going to pay for fixing the problem permanently.
The insurance company says it's not their problem because it's not an
emergency any more, the boiler manufacturer says the warranty is void
because it wasn't installed correctly (4 inches too little clearance
for servicing), the installer says that's ridiculous - etc, etc. This
could go on for some time. I'll try to concentrate on dealing!
