More fool them...

The yeast is now officially rehydrated

Yeah, cos that would just be plain sick.

Now that you have rehydrated the yeast, are you able to rehydrate yourself?

If you mean by drinking thye fruits of my labours no because I'm just growing the yeast at the moment. Brewing comes later.

Indeed I do. And good luck to you.

*fanfare* The president, queen, high priestess and overall big boss of the peoples republic of fantasy and sci-fi posters has returned home!!!! And found 199 messages in her inbox *whimpers* of which at least 25% were ads for some kind of work-at-home diploma. But I am glad to see my plants have all been well nurtured in my absence.

My plants weren't well nutured...

All but 8 of my emails were either from h2g2, or junk. 3 of them were only chain letters...

Nice that your People's Republic is once again properly governed

Very occasionally I get an email that's not junk. In fact, so much so, I have two accounts. One is for official business and the ration is about 50- 50. The other one seems to be a spam magnet.

My People's Republic is going to go through a tough time this summer. I'm away all the time, you see. So only posting occasionally.

I have 2 accounts as well, but even the university one is filled up with spam, just academic related (come on our 2 week training course in business management type stuff)

Oh, yeah. Worst of all for me is the pornography. I said I was born in 1066 (hey, I was bored) and so it's been giving me the full whack ever since I opened my account.

I don't get that, with a user name like pywlab the only people how have managed to spy out my address are home improvements

be thankful, I am fed up of being both a bigger cup size and a few more inches.

Must be annoying
Ah well, pressing the delete button doesn't require too much effort
Starting the second year means a change of email address as well, so will start again with a fresh account.

The dodgy junk is very annoying if your parents walk into the room just as the inbox loads.

Ah mine both use email as well. They're used to it. You delete all the cr@p without looking at it.

My parent's don't know my password.

Nor do mine, for anything. It's nice.

It is

I know all theirs, because they get me to check their emails for them

Mine are too computer- literate for that, but my grandma barely is.

They're computer literate, but they can't be bothered to check their own email.
