Where do you keep them? Do you have a little church in the back garden?

I drink nothing but herbal tea; if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, that's good to know, they're a divil to get when out and about. But I once read that the intensive growing of camomile and peppermint is now destroying vast swathes of heathland, so I'm thinking of reverting to hot water and lemon. then, I heard about the lemon groves....

Less tongue in cheek, everything we eat does damage, and I dunno know about you, I need to have the odd mince pie and choccie. I try to reduce mileage, grow lots of my own and buy from local suppliers, as much as I can afford, and don't get too worried about the rest. Which isn't to say I shouldn't.

hey, did you hear that thud? I think Timba just felll out of the hammock with boredom. Or non reappliacation of glue (have you seen where that comes from, -yeurrgh!)

[Interference]

Yes!! I used to use "Cow Gum" all the time when I worked at a newspaper (in the olden days when "cut and paste" meant cutting things and pasting them). My sister told me it was "just a trade name" - and she was veggie before me!

I carry a plastic pill-bag full of green teabags wherever I go

Yeah, Joe Jackson wrote a song "Everything Gives You Cancer" and he warn't far wrong. Mince pies? Check. Veggie fillings available Chocolate - I went without for about a year and when I tasted my first Mars Bar afterwards I realised, for the first time in my life, that it actually has flavour! I'm afraid I can't stay away from chocs for very long.

You're far more intensely considerate than I am, though. Growing my own is on the horizon, but till then I buy cheap 'n' nasty.

Timba is now in a coma

And I think Ursa's emigrated to the keys, all four legs in the air. Another way to win? All I have to do is outbore you. Could be a long night/week/ year.

Yeah, nobody out-bores The Inter Man - as you might guess from the fact that I'm not too embarrassed to call myself by my name sandwiched between "the" and "man".

Just wait till I get onto the subject of Time and Relative Dimensions and Their Role in the Origins of Our Observable Universe With Particular Reference to the Emotional State of the Conscious Entities that Occupy It and suddenly even Beckett's famous "One Word Repeated for Twenty-Eight Minutes by a Dwarf on a Step-Ladder" will seem like an entertaining diversion worth videoing for frequent repeatability.

I've been hearing reports that the thread has entered a vegetative state. I'm not sure I believed them; after all, Oregon isn't even a complete herb.

But the Maine thing is, I'm back to restore order.

I think we woke up the bear - I told you not to shout

Normal service has now been resumed, we return you to your usual programming

[springs]

Wow, Ursa! your legs moved, and your mouth. You're alive, it's a miracle.

Now, about Timba....

[Ursa major]

Perhaps he's still sore after his illness.

[Interference]

I guess this means I won't be able to get onto the subject of Time and Relative Dimensions and Their Role in the Origins of Our Observable Universe With Particular Reference to the Emotional State of the Conscious Entities that Occupy It I was looking forward to it. Bought a calculator and everything.

Does his hammock look upside-down to anyone else? Perhaps he went to Australia....

[Ursa major]

Relative dimensions? I'm pretty sure that some of mine wouldn't want me to measure them. (And they'd get quite emotional in making sure I didn't.)

So, smart aleck programming recommenced. (not a bad thing, all the chit chat and long posts have seriously hampered my editing)

Bearly tolerable; the place is getting crowded and - fluffier.

Ursa, are you moulting?

Perhaps not immediately after Christmas festivities, anyway

Chase the fluff, Springs - Chase the fluff!

[Ursa major]

To be honest, Springs - no, really - I've been endeavouring to do something else entirely. (I'd tell you what it is, but dash it! It would have to be in code.)

[Interference]

It really is that cold

(I had to turn up the wick on my candle earlier - I know. I just don't care, me. I luxuriate in my carelessness.)

Why not use the equipment that King Alfred designed? The buns'n'burner....
