"I didn't even know we had a " [Dmitri]

Well, I was one of the people who agitated for having it. Apples come up occasionally in conversation, so it's handy to have it. The doesn't fall very far from the . An a day keeps the away. You're the of my eye. It's as American as pie. William Tell shot an arrow through an that was on his son's head. God didn't make little green , it don't rain in Indianapolis in the Summertime....

Surely, that's , not

Can I help it if I have a sweet tooth?

Don't spoil the image of Guillaume Tell putting a toffee apple on his son's head.

At least it wouldn't fall off.

To be honest, I didn't know there was an smiley. I still prefer the because it's redder and looks more delicious.

Mmmm, it's entirely artificial, though...

Not to mention the fact that the majority of us uses as a plunger

Oooohooohh we have a plunger smiley

EXTERMINATE

Reminds me of the birthday card someone sent the rather shaggy Neil Gaiman:

Someone suggested that I read one of Gaiman's books -- "Good Omens." I enjoyed it. I wanted to see if it was similar to "The Infernals," another book that I liked. It turned out to be quite different. Mrs. Abernathy was a much nastier piece of work than Hastur and Crowley.

Oi !

Has anyone else had a problem?

Are they using Pliny, by any chance?

I'm sorry, this seems to be a general problem. Lulu sent me an email this evening that there is a problem with some file or other that I think was uploaded to my computer while creating the calendar.

I'm sorry to say this but at the moment it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to sort it out as soon as possible, which will probably be tomorrow after work.

Fair enough, Tav,

At least I now know that You lot aren't dropping SUCH heavy hints!

Take your time. The calendar will be usefull again in a number of years

The new year doesn't start for another 40 days.....

....and forty nights

Good news, it works now.

Yay!
