No news is... [message #174340] So, 27 November 2005 22:12
iain  
Have there really been no new posts in afda for over 48 hours, or has my
newsswerver just gone south for the winter?

Or for that matter, has everyone else gone south for the winter and not
told me...?

Erm... Dunno about "48 hours", but it's been a while since I saw any

We were looking at all the exciting new updates on the froup website ;-)

If there is a bit below the freezing point I might have. Then again I
guess that it has just become winter...

Personally I was gone for three days on a business trip followed by the
weekend at my parentsa in law. After that, today I had a so-called
team-building day with the two different IT-departments from work, which
has left me slighty drunk :-)

But I'm back - and posting!! :-)

"Business trip"?

"Team building say"?

Isn't that other phrases for "Getting old and boring?" :-)

accepted it with a lot of grace. Half the people there
use the Ellen Fletcher Bicycle Boulevard at least some.

It can't have been that, because I learned about them
from the page you referanced above. I think it was more
of a JJHitt [at] swbell.net referance. That was a person that
thought doing battle against spam was spraying Jesus In
A Can air freshener on a model car with SPAM written on
the doors and hood and mailing it to AOL in California.

It's marvellously biscuity, is that sufficient?

P.S. Apparently there's a way to get google-groups to include parts of
the posts to which you're replying to, so as to provide context for
the rest of us. Can't remember quite what it is, but it's something to
do with the "Reply" menu rather than the "Quick Reply" button. Or
something.

Aren't those just the additives? It might be tea-based.

Funny as afda is the only place I actually approve of tea...

The dangerous guy is not he who wants 100 nuclear missiles, it is he
who wants just a single one.

Now, do we actually know how many nuclear weapons Uncle Lloyd has?
