How the **ck has the EYE SAY! thread reappeared on my journal space when i sent it hurtling into cyberdustbin??????????????, gawd, it seems you can't keep a good EYE down; OK, by popular request, a new EYE thread, move over "you lot" onto here & let me know what's been going on........;but anything too personal we do by email or IM if that's OK by you?

Terri & Yoda, both melting in Angoulême on July 4th 2005, it's American Independence Day & to celebrate, they are going to blow up a comet. Yippee; way to go folks!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

(I was cheering for you Terri, not for the comet blowing up. LOL)

I had a GOOD weekend. Hung out a lot outdoors eating barbeque and watching fireworks.

Hey! Terri, where you been hiding? Havent heard for you in yonks?

I know what you mean about your thread re-appearing though, I wrote a Snippet for a while back and it eneded up as an entry somewhere else
Ah! not to worry, it made it home eventually
Where are you living these days? Ive lost track, and cant find the time to read through all the threads like I used to

My presence seems to be more required out in the garden these days, cleaning it all up along with the summer house after our G/Kids have invaded (I mean visited)
Smudger,

Hi Smudger, great to see you again!

I've just been laying low for a while, but back now. In RL still in Angoulême, South West France *but* possibly that may change soon, at least temporarily; i got an email today from an organisation helping Tsunami survivors; they are looking for English teachers (voluntary, obviously) in Thailand & i am interested. Need to get my CV sorted though & find someone to pay my airfare & basic living costs; always assuming they want me (but they probably do, 25yrs experience teaching abroad is sorta well qualified!)

Patrick N is investigating the French associations who are doing Tsunami aid programmes to see if something could be worked out; plus of course i would have to find someone to live here & take care of Yoda for a month or three. It's all only an idea at the moment, but it's a start. I need to do something new & this would at least use my skills & help people get their lives back together. It's a fact that 6 months on, the emergency bit has been in general sorted *but* the long term effort of rebuilding lives is only just starting & it isn't very newsworthy, just hard slog.

We shall see.

So, what's been going on with the rest of you? And when shall we have this party????? Better wait till the latecomers catch on to the new thread; go on, off you trot & spread the word!

That would be an amazing thing to do Terri, to go and help them there. I hope The Viking could go with you and share that experience, it would be life-changing and put so much into perspective.

Am I allowed to mention him?

Hi all

Are they really going to blow up Comet? I appreciate that their spot-faced sales assistants are inept, and we'd all like to throttle them sometimes, but isn't blowing it up going a bit far? Why don't they just buy their electrical goods elsewhere

Oh dear, someone slap Snailrind with a damp kipper!

There's a certain inevitability to this... http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200507/s1406693.htm

The obvious question is, why didn't she know it was going to happen and make allowances for it?

just leave well alone

*puts up her hand*

How long have we known about this comet?

How many years has it affected her chart?

Ah yes, but apparently the hole might have been anything from a tiny "phtt" to a crater the size of a football field; i doubt that sort of deviation in the cosmic wonky is easy to assess.

So, having succeeded in blasting this one, is the next step going to be turning all the comets into polo mints?

he he, like the comet shop joke, hey, watch out Dixons, here they come (wonders if tonemonkey is lurking, he works for Dixons i believe!)

The EYEs are back...& EYE'm glad they are!

EYE'm glad to see you here too jazz; how's it going?
