*hologram projector flares up and shows Pr. C. Tonks*
OK everyone. I *will* get the forum up tomorrow...
Had some slight troubles in RL today to do with w***, so I'm sure you can forgive me...
I'll be back tomorrow, promise!

*hands over a gin & tonic*
*switches off the hologram then offers the projector an electronic cheesy biscuit, (:*
...and I think as long as we keep referring to the party as being "now" then we should avoid heaadaches..unless they're headaces we want...

E - I'm impressed - in all my time as Pedantic Punctuation Policeman, that's the first time I've seen "headaches" spelt wrong - twice - differently - in the same sentence!
Consider this an informal caution...

Thanks E
*drinks his G&T*
Maybe we should take the Typo Monster with us to the past, it could keep the dinosaurs at bay

Yuueeewww knnnooowwww, aaaacccchhhemmmmmm
*finishes the entire plate of cheesey bisquits E gave him*
Like I was mumbling, you know, dinosaurs arent really all that interesting.......all they do is eat, and druel....
*looks over towards Engels and Peet, who at this very moment are consuming bisquits and drinking G&T's, while drueling*
See, if you want eating and drueling, we could sit here fer a while....... Now the ice age, that was a good year!!, I mean the wooly mammal was intersting, sure it eats and druels, BUT IT'S FUZZY!! Plus we could at least find more civilized life forms than us......
*holds hands up in the air, hoping for a yes, or at least a 'we'll stop there on the way'*

(Break for a true story - at an Archaeology conference in the States some years ago, delegates were served with Mammoth Burgers, prepared from perfectly preserved cuts of young Mammoth which was dug up deep-frozen from the Russian Tundra... I read it in "Scientific American", so it *must* be true!)

Hmm.....Mammoth burgers? And T-Rex burgers? This sounds like the trip is turning into a buffet

An alarming thought, Engels... If we go too far back, we run the risk of being trapped in a time before cheese-making bacteria had evolved!

I've got the cheesy biscuits BigC!
...and I'm sure we can stop at whatever time we feel like..?
Perhaps..?
Ooh...wouldn't it be funny if we ended up being the people who invented the cheesy biscuits by a round-about way of leaving them somewhere so someone else can lay claim to them...?
Nah...
