right well i think we can start this up considering we are only here now...

I am almost finished my first week back at school, already have some coursework due tomorrow but instead of doing it am spending my time on here and having a rather spiffing time of it!

I'm sitting in my office being bored by a teleconference with Malaysia and browsing the new board.

Had to get up early to make this happen and I need much more caffeine. If I thought nobody would ask me a question, I would wander off to the coffee machine.

I would have stayed up to see in the new board, but I have been ill for three days. I rang my doctor's surgery this morning, and they said I have to ring again in the afternoon to make an appointment.

Sleepy, you should prepare an auto-reply system or something. Record some likely answers and have a computer play them when certain code words are mentoned, like your name and a topic in the same sentence.

And I like your avatar. Been rummaging around Lspace, I presume? The fellow who made those pictures certainly knows what he is doing.

edit: Spelling.

Get well soon, Grace.

Great idea! The old "Buzzword Bingo" sheets should provide the likely answers.

I think the avatar rocks also. I credit it usually (must update the profile). I got it from the creator - Simon Lissaman's own site simonl.digitalart.org - Profile of Simon

His Nobby Nobbs is also a favourite of mine. Maybe others would disagree - I guess Lissaman just visualises the characters the same as I do.

Lissaman's Nobbs is not bad, but I must admit that Kidby's looks better to me. His picture of Vetinari is a true work of art, but I still wonder why he used that strange helmet and not the man's hair. Vimes is a bit weird.

Fred Colon and Vetinari are his two stars when it comes to Discworld, in my opinion.

Gah, how I missed this is beyond me. You're certainly a man after my own heart, Sleepy.

Sounds about right, yes.


Now then, I have no real news. I'm currently sitting here, splitting my time between MSN and collecting the BOFH episodes of the year 2000 in a printable file. I shall then continue with the five subsequent years.


This might take some time.

Printable file? We can speed that up with no problem at all, just needs a tweak to your settings. What did you say your username was? >clickety< >click<......

Depends on what you consider as the first years. When did Simon write 'T'was A Night Before Christmas'?
