Got it and replied.

Amazed it made it through the porn filters, but then I *am* pretty relaxed about spam.

Oi, Fish-boy!
Where've you been?
Anyway, this sounds like one of yours : A2885556

Trout?
boots?
The vestigial remains of Ben?
Anybody???

still lurking, Pin, don't worry!
take care
boots

OK, good, Ben and boots.
So where's the Salmonid?

You're up late for an aquatic! Not heard from Fish boy for ages and owe Ben an email. Good to see that you and Waz are still brightening up the galaxy.
Have to hit the kennel now but may drop by tomorrow.
Night friend
take care
boots

Just make sure you do, you dirty stop-out.
Pin

G'day cobbahs...

Aha...I guess that means you'll not be round for a after all?

(I think that the annoying mouse-thing meant the speechmarks round the Herodotus bits. You really can't expect a Scout to notice that you've already made the other changes. They'd have to read the Entry to do that, Heaven forfend!)

Pin (barely able to wait for >2word-conversation)

It made the front page then?

The boring one made the FP, yeah.

The better one, with your contributions, is at A2902600. This is UG-pending, only our mutual friend Ben is waiting on your OK before deeming it polished.

So, what do you think of it? (I think it's f***ing brilliant, my bits that is, not yours)

...Where the hell have you been anyway?

Pin (suddenly realises that fishboy is probably talking about the Nilometer, which also made the FP. Well done, that salmonid. Not half as interesting as murder and retribution though, is it?)

Hey Trout how are you?

Ah should be Hey Pin. Too much TINCTURE!]

Trout (not standing for leadership of the Australian Labour Party)

Yeah...whoever.
(looks sheepish, for a seal, anyhow)
So. How's it going? You planning on coming back, or was that just the whim of the occasional lurker?

Only access is via work. I want to come back, but the house ain't finished. I-Net access at home can't be a priority until we've got somewhere to sleep.

...This ol' House...

Well, just so long as you realise that I'm in hibernation till you do sort yourself out.

There are good friends here, sure, but my natural misanthropy (not to mention misogyny) means that things won't ever be right until there's a fish in the equation again.

I can't believe I just wrote that...

Oh yeah, just one more thing. Any chance you can give your co-author permission for Lee (the proper one) to run in the UG? Either that or suggest changes. There's a dear.

Any prospect of the long-awaited return?

(You could drop by and vote Ozark if you like)

You are my proxy, seal-boy.
