I question to grammatical correctness of the previous entry.
"Rich" is an abbreviation of "Richard" and hence should
be terminated with a full stop.

It is my belief that .0 should read

    Rich., 
    
    you're a git.

A typing error I'd call it!

 One hell of an assumption.

    Is this a good time to ask for an expansion on:
    
    "Life's a big banana sandwich"
    
    Please enlighten us to the history of this, the thought behind it and
    the meaning.

You obviously didn't watch the All New Alexei Sayle Show.

The title music went something like

"I've got a rainbow in my pocket
I've got a dream that just won't die
I've got some money my parents gave me
And I think I'm going to fly - (at this point he gets
hit by a double decker bus)

(it then goes on...)
Life's a big banana sandwich
I haven't got a care"

Quite funny, but not as good as (to the tune of Mickey Mouse)

"Who's an ugly bastard and as fat as he can be?
A-L-E-X-E-I S-A-Y-L-E"

Fisch.

Sorry, I didn't answer your question.

That was the history. The meaning is that life is wonderful -
if you like bread and bananas...

Actually I think it took a considerable amount of Trevor's
Unix networking skills to put that picture there.

    Thats a rather wild assumption

    RE: .20 
    Not really, I told him how I did it so he didn't need to assume. 
    However the note wasn't in keeping with the note topic, unless it was
    being sarcastic :-(

Getting back to the base note.

I always thought Tony was a silly name, I mean if it's short for
Anthony, why isn't it 'Thony' ?
