[Zeke]

And another perfectly good plan bites the dust -- too much packing, too little time to squeeze in that article (unless I'd been willing to half-ass it, which I wasn't). My online time on the trip to Waterloo will be brief at best, so I'm not going to try anything heroic. The update and announcement will have to be on Tuesday when I'm settled in.


That does mean no new content till then, but have you seen how much old content we've got? We're five years deep, baby. I guarantee there's stuff at FiveMinute.net you haven't read -- poke around. (May I recommend our Angel (../angel/) section?)

[KillerGodMan]

What? we have an Angel section? (only kidding)

Good luck with the move

Moving house sucks majorly. You have my deepest condolences, Zeke.

Moving house sucks majorly.
Sounds like the headline for a negative review of Howl's Moving Castle. Or the four-word film review (http://fwfr.com/).

[whoiam]

I think it would also make a good subject for a TJI article... something about Zeke using the revolutionary new Basher/Anti-Basher reactor to provide the power to make his new teleporter work, in order to speed up the actual movement phase... :?

[Chancellor Valium]

Nah nah. You want to use the Quantum Uncertainty Generator...

[danieldoof]

yeah only if you want to find your furnature everywhere but in your new home...

Hneh. I'd never intentionally say sommat like that though - Howl's Moving Castle was pretty darn good (though I must admit I enjoyed the books more).

You're from Yorkshire now?

[PointyHairedJedi]

I had one too many Chorley cakes earlier.

[Nan]

Are those the kind with liquor in them? :mrgreen:

Mmm. Liquor.

[whoiam]

Oooh, more English-people. No wonder the sarcasm level around here is so high...:D

-*grew up in Surrey*-

[Sa'ar Chasm]

Who're you calling English?

*quietly doesn't mention two English-born grandmothers*

Technically, I'm British in the sense that the Canadian census defines it: English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh all mushed together.

[whoiam]

Part Irish, but also part Belgian and part Jamaican. But I live in England.

[Scooter]

-*grew up in Surrey*-

With a fringe in top?

[whoiam]

A fringe? No, my hair's short and annoyingly curly (brushing it in the mornings is a nightmare...*shudders*), and so never made a fringe.

[mudshark]

-*grew up in Surrey*-

With a fringe in top?Or on top.

[Opium]

Wait...Surrey in Britian or Surrey in British Columbia?

Zeke, I hope the goes well. It's tough moving, and I wish you the best.

[whoiam]

Surrey in Britain. I live on one of the main roads between London and the south coast.

[Alexia]

I live in Surrey too. No matter how hard I try, my accent sounds really posh *g*

I'm not posh :wink:

[whoiam]

Ooooh... neither am I, I live right on the border with Hampshire (literally, I'm in a village that straddles the surrey-hants border - you won't believe the arguments I've had with some of the neighbours about which county we actually belong in...8-)), so I'm almost a non-home-counties guy

[KillerGodMan]

In that sense, I'm british too, because my grandparents came from there, except on grandfather, who was native Canadian

[PointyHairedJedi]

Heh, no. They're a similar sort of thing to Eccles Cakes (though flatter).

I live in Surrey too. No matter how hard I try, my accent sounds really posh *g*

I'm not posh :wink:
If it helps Lexy I must say I've never thought of you as being posh. ;)

I'm not alone!
I hate that problem. But I failed at growing up in Kent.....

[KillerGodMan]

In that sense, I'm british too, because my grandparents came from there, except on grandfather, who was native Canadian

there = Ireland, forgot to state that

North or South, before or after about 1920?
:P :P :P

[whoiam]

I'm gonna go right out on a limb here, and guess 'after'...

[Alexia]

Yeah. Really helps. Thanks :wink:

[PointyHairedJedi]

So glad I could be of service. :D

[KillerGodMan]

You are correct, and from the south

Then you're Irish.
