Paul: "Glad to join the Virtual Great Outdoors!
Am I right in thinking that Titania is the person who was asking for help with volume/weight conversions regarding the amount of sugar to use in a Glögg recipe yesterday, which my wife tried to supply for her?"
"Hope the recipe got to you, Donderglögg is best appreciated around a large campfire late at night . . . . !! "

Hello Paul. Don't forget to wrap up warm; after all, it is winter across the northern hemisphere

Hi Paul - just saying hello and hoping you are wrapped up warm? Some of the bunnies have extra fur which you can have if you like.
The Republic of Yorkshire Polar Expedition, will be lighting up our campfire later on (down on the beach) if you find your getting a bit chilly.

It's a bit rude not to respond when someone visits your pitch.
Suppose he's not in.

I think it would be even more rude to ring someone up on their mobile when you don't really know them, they don't really know you, and they're obviously busy with something else.

Hi!!
very, very 
I didn't reply straight away 
Had HSI teething trouble over the weekend, and been 
for a few days while trying to get it right again!
There's still some 
left 
... please have some!
Dreamweaver is still trying to find somewhere for Espharoth to 
without scaring people off: he's big, but at heart he's only a 
really - and he'll start your fire for you anytime!

, more visitors! 
If I'm off site for a moment, I'm probably trekking to town with our budding thespian (Theatre School rehearsals)
Help yourself to the 
(wot! STILL no marshmallowsmileys??) and anything else that takes your fancy over by the camp fire if you're peckish: Espharoth has promised to keep everything warm and the fire built if it gets a bit low. Back soon!
Dreamweaver is still having problems getting her password accepted 
and apologises for not being able to answer for herself: 
requests to BBC don't seem to have the desired effect, can anyone suggest a possible solution for us?
>doh>Espharoth would love to be able to write his own intro to claim a pitch but (as we all know) dragons find it difficult to work the keys on a PC. Although he's here as Dreamweaver's preferred method of transport (and experienced starter of barbies, campfires and sundry cooking fires) he's finding it a bit lonely curling up on the camp site's car park. Can someone please work on the idea of a ???

Hi Espharoth!
*Lays a 
on the ground and stands well back*
Hmm. I doubt dragons arfe really designed to eat out of one's hand.

*Espharoth waddles towards sniffs and almost inhales the treat*
*searches for further treats: sadly turns around and looks for a cave.......*

Just Bob aka Robert Thompson, plugging my film blog cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk Posted Dec 5, 2001
There's a cave over there. *points* Rather convenient, in fact. As is one's right when making up an imaginary campsite.

Thanks, Bob
Now there seem to be more people arriving every day, perhaps we ought to work on the map of the camp site which was planned?
Not bad at mapping, but haven't a clue how to 'cut & paste' artwork/maps from e.g. a spreadsheet/other document on to h2g2
Plenty of 
to anyone who can show me how it's done!

Frankie Roberto Posted Dec 9, 2001
Um, I'm not exactly sure what you're think of, but we wouldn't be able to use an image-based map unless the file was blobbed by the towers. However, Bluebottle is doing a mapping thing for the post. I've left him know about the campsite. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F80294?thread=155840&post=1545053#p1545053
