Hey, Offspring is good music.

Agreed.

We'd sit in the back, eating Biscotti, drinking Tea, Each day in English.... While the rest of the class was held under an Iron boot.

That sounds awesome. You must have had one hell of a cool english teacher. *writes in notebook* "Mission for year: Convince various members of staff to allow me to drink tea in class."

The excellent thing about doing Ext. 2 english is that it's such a small class you get spoiled. At least that's what my mum does to her classes...she keeps *feeding* them. Though I'd still hate to be taught by my mother.

I used that as one of my excuses to drink tea in English class when I was in Highschool


Good idea, I'll have to try that one...

Sugsr: 1 or 2, depending.
Strength: Let's face it, when I make tea sometimes people think it looks like coffee.
It also has to be made in a teapot. Ceylon is nice.
Practically never milk - I used to, but I've decided it spoils the tea.

I've just begun reading Wizard of Earthsea again (Ursula Le Guin http://www.ursulakleguin.com/ , after I flicked through a few pages and found I'd almost completely forgotten it. It's nice to be able to read it again, almost as if for the first time.

We'll totally ignore the fact that we've both mentioned it, and possibly even talked about it to you, *many* times before...  ;)


You haven't. Really. Otherwise I'd have been here *long* ago.

Also, I never got invited to this paranoia game, only the JParanoia one, which I couldn't make it to. How Bones knows this site, I have not the faintest.

Douglas Adams was one of the most incredibly skillful humourous writers I have ever come across. Everyone needs to have read HHGTTG, or they have not yet lived.

My obsessive comment for the day.

My brother dropped a random reference, and my curiosity compelled me to follow it up. Also, it involved forums. Forums eat me. In spite (or perhaps because of) this, I'm continually looking for new forums to haunt.

Well, Well, Well. I just got sucked into another forum. Forums eat me for breakfast, but I seem to enjoy it. My name is Tess, I am 15, and am doing year 11 in a very confusing way, at the same school JP and Xaio also went to. I am too much of a nerd for my own good and proud.  TWG has been officially added to the list of "Forums That Have Eaten My Soul." (Incidentally, I don't believe I have a soul, but that is beside the point.)

The MASTER in Gopher's name is revenge, I'm guessing.


No, no. The "Master" was always there. Due to the masterfulness, and all. I could give you a linguistic history of the name, but I'm sure it wouldn't interest you.

I have definitely heard of a a Hurricane Cyril. Apparently, they simply pick names going through the alphabet systematically. In whihc case, I'm just hanging on here in the hope that I'll one day hear of the untold destruction caused by Hurricane Terence.

The rather worrying bit here, Xaio, is that I recognised you completely by tone within a line or two, after dropping into this forum at random.
