A Conversation for Meteor Showers
Behind you!
Inkwash Started conversation Nov 28, 2000
This all reminds me of a bizarre evening when me and some of my totally unastrological family happened to be taking dinner outdoors while meteorites whizzed across the heavens.
A friend of the family had his back to the right bit of the sky and got very miffed when the entire evening's conversation was punctuated by random screams of "THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE!!", and every time he turned round they'd gone.
He thought we made the whole thing up to stop him talking about cricket.

Hahahaha!
Thanks for telling me that!
It sounds like a fantastic evening!
You were ~very~ lucky...
What part of the world do you live in?

Inkwash Posted Dec 5, 2000
We were actually in a suburb outside Paris at the time. I think it was one of those special nights where they show up really well.

Oh, drool!
Now you have me ~really~ envious...
A magical night indeed, within view of the most magical city on Earth.
Would you care to tell me more?
I am extremely interested!
Do you live in France?
I have not yet met a french Researcher, but I haven't been here very long.
That's why I have applied to become an A.C.E., they get to know everything that goes on...
Have you been to the Observatory? I've been told there is one on h2g2 but I can't find it, and I can't remember who told me!
Thanks again,
Crystal

No, I'm from England, but some of my family have been living in Paris for a while. I stayed with them last year because I was taking a year out in Strasbourg.
In the few weeks I've been at H2G2 I've only seen one French researcher. He calls himself "French b*****d".
Haven't seen the observatory either I'm afraid.

Crystal Butterfly Posted Dec 9, 2000
Hehehe
I have not seen that name, and I am sure I would remember!
Oh, you are ~so~ lucky, you get to have free holidays in France then?
If I ever find that Observatory I'll let you know.
How many threads are we conversing in?
Three?
Hehehe
Behind you!
Inkwash Posted Dec 9, 2000
About that, yeah!
Well, those free holidays are about to stop as those relatives will soon be moving back to England.
But yeah, basically we were pretty lucky! Paris really is wonderful.
Where are you from?

Inkwash Posted Dec 9, 2000
Well I was actually referring to me and my sister, although I am spoken for as it happens...
I'm still allowed Christmas kisses though, right?

thanx!
Sure you can have the comment again 
but wouldn't it work better if *I* copied and pasted it?

Crystal Butterfly Posted Dec 19, 2000
Of course it would!
I just didn't want to put you to any trouble! 
Inkwash!
