"Hmmm! Not too many serious drinkers here at the moment, I guess h2g2 is going to be even quieter at the weekend. Am I the only person working Christmas Day? Reduced hours, 08:00 to 13:00 so I will probably stay in the office and surf till the RL bar opens. Our Christmas dinner menu (which will be served Xmas eve????) is absolutely outstanding. As well as the traditional turkey our chef has got antelope, crocodile, wild boar, guinea fowl, lobster, oysters
, and 
. Too cool!"

Aye, Kes, spoken like a true archangel! BTW: Do you still have some of your condensed milk?
Ladies will be ladies

PS: Dragonfly, I don't care about Zeus as long as YOU were not seriously offended. No offence was intended, you know?
Happy Xmas and a very new year!

Heard about the case Fürstenberg gegen Rothaus, because of the add: "unter Tannen Zapfen"? Would you be apt to change your brand because of this verwirrende Advert?

*re-enters the pub, looking disheveled, but happy. Her net is in tatters, and she balls it up and throws it away.*
May I have a glass of ? I succeeded in my mission! I wrestled the Moon out of the sky with my net. I let her go only after she promised to carry three magic words to someone. Its a difficult form of communication, but whaddaya gonna do? Its reliable. I learned this technique from a wizard. Its ancient stuff. The Moon was quite surprised! Hehehe!

*Kasia hands to Mari-Rae*
Good job, Mari-Rae
BTW: is the moon a 'she' in English?
Crossed Purposes:Dec.2000
mari-rae(tee reads: (entangled in cardboard boxes, please send tape...) Posted Dec 23, 2000
The Moon is often referred to as being The Man in the Moon, but it was probably men who made that one up. I believe the Moon is a she... Mistress Moon. She is fair of face, and changeable. She guides tidal forces with dedication. She is round. Very feminine.

Good point, Mari-Rae. I agree.
In Polish it's the same: the Moon is a 'he'

"Not only tides are affected by mistress moon Marie-Rae. I would agree that the moon should be of the feminine gender. So soom lucky person has a message in a moonbeam, how very romantic you can be. And by the way, what is the matter with eating antelope I ask myself? Seems to me about as natural as urinating."
"Cheers!"

Wow, I can read this here now! The server seemed inaccessable last night, and I got bored, looking at the outer frame. And a good nights sleep has got rid of my confusion, hasn´t it?
In german the moon is a he. Funny actually, as this shouldn´t be by principle. It´s sungods, isn´t it? Pitty, the french seem to have got it right: Le soleil, and La lune.
Well and now for that further pint of 
I wanted yesterday.
And: I am off tomorrow morning, flying away for a week and looking forward to being offline!*What´s wrong with E?, says alter Ego*
CHEERS
