Wowsers!
How are you Spaceman Spiff?
Good to see you here.

The very same! I see you've been busy with this project.
I seem to remember you saying something about the benefits of being inside the tent, p***ing out, rather than the other way round.
Now you appear to have bought not only the tent, but the whole bl**dy campsite!
I have had a family since the old AWW days, and between that and w**k, I haven't had much time for more than a quick lurk now and again on h2g2.
I don't know whether that will really change dramatically now, but I think I fancy getting back into it, at this time of renewal. 
My wife is planning to have a go at NaNoWriMo, and I have made noises about signing up as well - which could well wipe out November!
Anyhoo, thanks for dropping by to say hi (I always thought of you as one of the most interesting characters here), and all the best with NooHooToo, too! 
Good luck, and remember...
!

Wow, Spiff - welcome back. Another name I recall chatting with on many occasions! Good to hear from you and the update.
And yes, the community consortium has been rather working their little socks off haven't they?

Yay, Ictoan too! I know you've been around, but we're kinda ships that pass in the night.
If we aren't careful we'll get a conga.

Hi Ictoan
How's the xword solving going? 
Indeed, I remember enjoying a few chats when I was a regular here - hope we might cross paths again, in this newly-dawned era...
Having said that, as I said to Ben, I really don't know how much I will get back into it all.
Perhaps an edited entry might be the thing to test my resolve...
is there anything on La Cancaillotte, yet?

Hiya,
Still not much cop with the xwords - they removed it from the freebie paper in favour of 3 (count em!) sudoku puzzles which take me approx 10 mins to do. And I was just getting to the level where I could do the cryptics. Only place I had time for it was on the commute!
Well, no matter how much or how little your time on here, 'tis good to see you again hear how things are going - and no doubt we will cross paths again.

So many people have so much less time! I wonder if we should look for ways of making short and sweet contributions, rather than the work that's involved in a Guide Entry, which can be considerable.
You started the chain of events that gave us the UnderGuide Spiff, you just might have started something else....
