Well, Christmas is over, but Ro's words are still true. :D Glad I found this thread so I can get it off-topic in good old b77-tradition (:P ;) ), and wish you guys a Happy New Year! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/truehobbit/smilies/smilie_new_014.gif http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/true...

So what would happen if one of the contestants stood up to her? That's not really possible, I think, because they'd have to get in a word edgewise for that, and the host doesn't allow that, so it couldn't happen unless they got seriously upset and fought - and that wouldn't be the idea. I didn't ca...

Areanor - I was giving the pronunciation as we sing it. I know that Germans have a different pronunciation scheme - in fact, when we did Latin Masses by German composers, we'd use "German Latin" - and in that case, the "c" would be pronounced like "ts". Cute sig pic, b...

LOL, this thread seems to have completely osgiliated by now - but still here's moot report, part the second . :D Sunday morning started with people leaving. It was strange, as it seemed they had only just arrived, and no way could I imagine that normally the moot would already be over for everybody....

I've always regarded your status as more of a nebulous concept. :Wooper: :LMAO: *leaves the application of the salmon to wilko* :P Thanks for the recipe, Ber. :D (I thought you'd just bake some eggs and potatoes together - this sounds complicated! :Q ) Sharkey, it would be great to see you at a moo...

Moot report and pics I should say beforehand that I'm finding it a bit difficult to remember what happened when - there were so many wonderful days that they kind of blur into each other. :love: This moot was planned very luckily for me - a full-time class I was teaching ended on Wednesday, and Thur...

We take this moment to say BOOOO BOOOO BOOOO to the Ireland m00ters!!! When we go on m00ts we send piccies while there! We post in threads about it! We set up webcams for people to watch! We make group chats for those poor people that can't come but want to be included! What do you do? NOTHING!!! N...

I had a fantabulous time - thanks so much to all who were there and esp to Alatar for planning everything so perfectly. :hug: :love: :cheers: Thanks to all who've already posted picture links over on HoF! Spent quite a bit of time with them already, so I'm too tired for more right now. *is relieved ...

It's really good to see you, Alandriel - and, from what I've just read, quite something to see you, and in one piece, too! :Q :hug: (I found this thread through Voronwe's link.) Wow, you had me scared there. Those messed-up doctor's appointments are a disgrace - or were they sure that what they'd fo...

Congrats on moving the fucking place.

Hello folks - I'm here to say that Jude says "hi"! :D :wave: <-- Jude We had a great time at the moot in Edinburgh over the weekend, and he's asked me to let you folks know. He was alive and well when I left him, but he's alone with three women now, so I wouldn't vouch for his still being ...

Wow, that sounds great!

Congrats!

Waiting for pics, too!

Hi to all the rest of the h00mies. Has anyone seen Wampuskitty? I miss Wampuskitty, and everyone else too who’s been gone from here.

I'm here, but I can't think of anything to say!

all!

You look cool with the glasses, Ro!

Hi Leo, nice to see you here!

I got this from someone as an offline message on IM! I also thought it couldn't have been written by them, but I'll ask whether they meant to forward it, or whether their account has been invaded and the message forwarded itself. I just clicked the message shut. I was worried, but couldn't imagine j...

Very possible. Considering how much control some leaders have over their people, I wouldn't doubt it. Some people need to think for themselves, though. Teaching people to think for themselves is one of the hardest things to do, and requires a liberal outlook of society to begin with. The people rio...

:yes: :D Ro, you raise some good points! :) As, um, has recently been shown here, I don't think it's ok to insult people's sensitivities and expect them to swallow it silently in the name of free speech! ;) But this is different, IMO! As TED has pointed out, the cartoons are very different. Yes, the...

Bloody unlikely, cem! :P - But :hug: and I hope you get to feel better soon! :) Hi Imp! :wave: :hug: tinwe, you can borrow the salmon :salmon: for the people who blame you for things you can't help! :hug: So, I was supposed to start teaching a new class today - but there were only four people! So I ...

Heard about it on the news, too!

A few weeks ago, the roof of a ice skating rink somewhere in the south of Germany collapsed from the same causes, killing a number of people.

Checking such buildings for safety costs money...
