Hurrah!
Vip Started conversation Oct 5, 2008
I am now officially Mrs Hoskison. Everthing went almost perfectly to plan, and we had a wonderful time.
We are now heading out on our honeymoon. See you all in a fortnight!
Hurrah!

Whoops missed this post. Congratulations and that. Is in nosey to wonder what the "almost" is in the first post?
Hurrah!
Vip Posted Oct 19, 2008
Nothing important- we carefully wrote an order that the photos were to be shot in, which then didn't happen so people were hanging around, unsure of what was going on. And I was so tired that I nearly fell asleep in my apple pie. But once I stopped having to sit still I woke up again.
Are you still up for next weekend, my dear?
Hurrah!
Bagpuss Posted Oct 19, 2008
Oh yes, despite the fact that most of my savings disappeared into the financial black hole once known as Iceland. By the way, I know you don't want armfuls of stuff to carry back with you, but would this be an opportune time to return a couple of the books you lent me?
Note to self: Buy train tickets.
Hurrah!
Vip Posted Oct 20, 2008
Oooh, yes, I was going to ask for those s back. I hope they were interesting.
Iceland got you? Oh no! That really isn't good. Still, I'm glad that you can still see your way to coming up. I'm just trying to contact Corinna at the moment to see if she's still able to come- you two might be able to travel together or something if you'd like.
Hurrah!
Vip Posted Oct 20, 2008
Thanks to you too.
I must say, this Mu-Beta-inspired Halloween anagrams thingummy has me checking a lot more Personal Spaces!
Hurrah!
Mu Beta Posted Oct 20, 2008
I don't think it was entirely my idea.
A few of us did it once a few years ago (2004?), and I was the only person who thought of reviving it the year after.

Hurrah!

Anyway mine isn't an anagram. There aren't many anagrams you can make from my normal username, so I rot13'd it (transpose all letters 13 places along the alphabet, looping round the ends).
Hurrah!
Bagpuss Posted Oct 20, 2008
I changed mine because I was feeling left out in the Atelier. It's peer pressure you see.
I've got rail tickets. Not too pricey - certainly cheaper than it would have been to take the train to London for the meet. I'm doing that journey by Megabus (I'm hoping the Megabus is purple with three decks like in Harry Potter).
-wise, I have still to read The Many-Coloured Land.
Hurrah!
Vip Posted Oct 21, 2008
Well, you can keep for now if you would like. Just please be careful with it- I'm not sure if they are ever coming back into print (last time I heard they were 'under consideration'). It would the nice to have The Broken god back though- I don't have a spare copy of that.
Unfortuately, Megabus is neither purple, or, as it used to be, an old bus. I went to London on one years back and I loved it! Buses are so much more comfortable than coaches, for me anyway. I find coaches a sort of hell.
Hurrah!
Bagpuss Posted Oct 21, 2008
I certainly find reading easier on trains than coaches. Not sure about old school buses.
Okay, two books to return. And I hope that, unlike the library you won't charge me a fiver for keeping them too long.
