I repeat you are not the sole representative of your gender, there is a silent woman about, perhaps an oxymoron I grant you but true nonetheless.

[Timba]

Wow, who would have thought that line of malarky would silence her.

[springs]

Rare; I accept, but even us women have to have lunch. Now, which silent woman do we have? Is there something you'd like to admit to; you can, no probs, it'll go no further than this thread.

[Timba]

Nothing to admit to, as mentioned before, we gentlemen do not blab, sufficient to say a quiet helper in the bunker is always useful. Key word being quiet

[springs]

Good for you; urgh keyboard fatigue today.

I'm in the middle of getting my WIP reviewed by someone on the Chrons, a swopsy if you like, they've given me really good feedback, and I've expanded the first section a lot and edited over the last day or two. So, I'm now on Critters and I've put up the first section, but their formats completely different so I've gone through it and fixed it up for them. so hand is now dead.

you might get the thread to you and your mystery woman for a while!

It is okay really, feel free to take a good long rest and work on your WIP with Critters or Critters with WIP (does any of this involve a long bullwhip perchance?) I actually can only infer this has soemthing to do with your book but past that I am lost in acronyms and unfamiliar titles but that is okay, I spend a lot of my day in that sort of blissful ignorance.

It's all right, I just wanted a small rant. They're hard to find in the shops; generally only the big ones at this time of year.

[Interference]

*Enters singing "Silent Night", but having to scream over the storm*

So, there's a mystery woman in the thread. How will we know if she's won or not? As a gentleman, I feel it would be my duty to compliment her on her success.

*Flicks a golden lock deftly back into place before tripping over a hammock*

Morning, Timba.

*Adjusts tie before deafly listening to Springs' latest (and shiniest) rant*

There, there, Springs. There, there.

*Casually scanning the horizon for Major Bear's Guard Hares and wondering why he's keeping rabbits in the first place*

Hmm. I guess he's gone to write some more rules. That should keep him occupied a while.

[Timba]

Good morning Inter, okay I admit there is no mystery woman, just had to have something to get Springs off her equality obsession.

I think bear is working on noise abatement issues, a little problem Springs brought to the thread this morning I believe.

[springs]

you're in uncommonly good form, Inter. And now Timba's finally come clean about lack of mystery women, equality forum says that I'm outnumbered; again. so, you can fight it out amongst yourselves. I can't go, though; they'd shut the thread down, and it would be a waste of 476 pages of scintilliating conversation. Well okay, 5 pages of said, 472 of - shh, let's not go there.

[Ursa major]

* Sets up marinas around LPITTW's coast. *

That'll probably sort out the so-called gender imbalance issue. (Unless the problem concerns which gender is more unbalanced, of course.)

[springs]

Oh, they're terribly pretty; have they been using my spa? Glad that's all sorted out then.

*picks up binoculars*

*puts them down*

Ursa, why have all your Marinas got little valves in their backs?

[Ursa major]

You're looking at them from too far away, Springs, even using binoculars. Those aren't valves, they're locks to keep the water in when the tide goes out.

(And I said, they resolve the gender issue, not the sex issue. So they're not "aids" of any type - some people have minds that aren't as clean as they shoud be - they're places where boats can be tied up**.)

Far too mature for such behaviour, me. Now a month ago, I'd been crying with laughter.

So, we're allowed boats now; good stuff. I get sea sick, though, so I'll cheer you all on.

[Ursa major]

I doubt many boats will turn up, Springs. The key - or is that quay? - function of the marinas is to address your gender concerns.

Their mere presence does that, which I thought was obvious.
