what is that funny sign,
in front of money at this point and time?
it looks somewhat like a sign of dollar,
but different from $ i don't foller.
but i say thy speech is fine,
i wonder if you, like to rhyme?

The £ sign is the GBP sign. In other words, we have pounds instead of dollars over here in blightly.

I would say that it is far superior to other forms of currency, but I don't beleive it or really give a flying frobnit *grin*

*potters off again because knows she really ought to be doing some domestic things *

£63!!!! Do you not think it might have been cheaper to buy the books? Or that a may calm your nerves a little more? How do you manage it, did you leave them in a shed for a few years and forget you had them?

*rummages around for a sprok to give to ottox.*

or even a spork!

I know he admitted closet thingery earlier, but has he completely come out? Sporks, daft helmets and things all over? *toddles over to NO,no,no to see what's been going on while he's been doing useful stuff*

Greetings! News from the front line of the technological kind. The report is being brought to you through the telly! Yes, as a weird side effect of the superfluous number of telly channels I can receive at home, the local service provider has roped in a huge wedge of beeb orientated goodies. Upshot of this is that I can lounge on the floor of the living room playing with the rather nifty cordless keyboard while attempting to balance on a bean bag. I am, to say the least, impressed

As for the library books, if I had not found them it would have cost me £270 in fines, so no, it wasn't cheappper *grin*

*wanders off to make a rather large round of cappuccinos, with the added bonus of crumbled flake on top!!!*

But why would you have been fined £270 for buying the books? And where were they lost? and why are we all here? and why is my dog rubbing himself up against my chair? and why have I moved my big old comfy armchair in front of the PC? and just why? (and don't say 42)
*wanders off to ponder why he can't afford one of those clever cordless keyboards, then giggles at the memory of the one his mate bought that kept being really crap*

Hi there. I'm the new ThingNet System Adminsistrator. Is this where I come to in order to get a spork?

Right I said I was going to bed - and I am - but here you go...

*Dissapears into the Gooks secret store cupboard for a few minutes*
*Re-appears brandishing a brand new titanium spork for Croz.*

Cheers Clive

Goodnight again!

Welcome Croz.

Hey Croz.

*posts here because she hasn't for a while*

I hear tell there may be a badger-sized spork available?

Why are you all ignoring me? To my knowledge no one has answered my questions.

Hi Guys

Which question Pat?

Hey Pablo!

I apologise St patrick. If you would be so kind as to repeat them I'll see what I can do.

A spork the size of a badger! Fantastic. Imagine the amount of curry you could shovel in with that!
