Welcome to the Ministry of Sleeping!
Here we aim to govern and aid anyone who is a sleeper or wishes to learn the art of sleeping 
As, myself, an "expert" in this field I can dispence any aid or guidance in the matters of the dreeded "Insomnia" and help anyone to get a good days sleep.

I wish to register a complaint with the sleeping ombudsman. There are no pictures of the beds of the dear departed who are "not dead, just sleeping". This is blatant lifism must be tackled head on, not put aside and buried.
btw nice to see you've found a proper job
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 27, 2000
Simple and too the point answer: You want pictures? You supply them 
ZZZZZZZZZ

Wumbeevil Posted Oct 27, 2000
This is just another of Peregrin's backdoor privatisations. Now I've got to supply pictures of decomposing sleepers?
I pay my taxes to the chancellor (or would if we had one) so that the government can supply these pics, and now I'm supposed to buy my own? Has Peregrin spent the entire budget on the Immelda Marcos shoe collection for his footcam?
The public has a right to toe.
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Yes, Peregrin has spent all the Budget... 
So I've recieved none of it! All the decour is surplied out of my own pocket! So don't complain... besides your here to sleep aren't you

Wumbeevil Posted Oct 28, 2000
Ah right, now I understand your problem, I shall leave no grvestone unturned.
Sleep? I thought this was a government department? Doesn't the naming take after the likes of the Dept of Employment, Ministry of Defence, Dept of Health, etc. where they deal with the exact opposite.
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Yes, but that doesn't mean we have to be awake doing it
And doesn't the Ministry of Health actually deal with "Health" rather than "Death"...?
zzzZZZ
MaW Posted Oct 28, 2000
No, the Ministry of Health deals with Illness - although I suppose you could argue that Health is what they are trying to achieve.
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Exactly
So here at the ministry of Sleeping, we deal with all those unhappily awake people, and try to encourage a sence of sleepy well being
Back to the job....

Hmmm...How come you managed to get your ministry up and running within about ten minutes of being appointed and I've been minister of jelly for weeks now and I've not even got a floor down...
*sits down to eat some Jelly whilst she thinks about it*

The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Umm... Because I currently have "No Life" other than H2G2 (Not technically true but nevermind, more acurate is that I quit my job, and have lots of time on my hands )
So I just decided to do something about things... like this
I've also spruced up my http://www.h2g2.com/A340093
You know, we really need to work on the "Sleeping" part of your life

*grins proudly*
Don't know what you mean between last Thursday and this Thursday I had a whole 10 hours of sleep which seems to me to be quite a good amount considering
Besides I don't work either so that can't be your excuse as if it was I'd have the most wonderous of all ministries...I think I have too short an attention span as I've just started writing one about ten minutes ago and I'm bored already
*goes to look for pictures of jelly to take up some space*
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Considering what...?
Your Ministry is Lovely I just had a look, and it's far more structured than mine
zzzZZZ
Tinkerbell *tumbleweed* Posted Oct 28, 2000
Considering that I was only at home for 1 day of that and the rest of the time I was in selected pubs, hotels and bars in Shropshire/Derby/London/Oxford
I still don't understand how you knew where my minstry was as it's only been there ten minutes and even i can't make the links work yet
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Oh, I see
Answered in Ministry of Jelly posting... and link problem is in the Alabasta house...
I'm sure I'm talking about the wrong things in the wrong places
zzzZZZ
Tinkerbell *tumbleweed* Posted Oct 28, 2000
*grins*
So your random postings not a deliberate attempt to confuse me then?
Hmmm
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
Not at all! Mearly an attempt to induce sleepy thoughts in your brain
zzzZZZ
Tinkerbell *tumbleweed* Posted Oct 28, 2000
*looks suspiciously*
Well if you're sure...
*grins*
Is that what the ministry of sleeping entails then? Finding random people and trying to make them feel sleepyness
zzzZZZ
The Fish Posted Oct 28, 2000
That's meerly one of our departments. We also help insomnia, people in comas, anything to do with dreams, sleepwalking, etc...
*Get's worried by all the third-person talk *
Key: Complain about this post
