*goes to find a wall to bang her head against*
Seriously?

That's just very very unfortunate.... But hopefully not an omen of any variety.
Y'know, with all the filling in of form that I've done, I've discovered that I started secondary in 09/99 and I'll leave 06/06. There's something satisfying about that.

lol, spoooky! Mine must be 09/04, 06/01 and 09/01, 07/04. How boring.

I'm afraid there does seem to be very little in that of wonderment...
Wow, I guess my uni ones will be 10/06 to 07/09. Well, that just about spoils my completeness... I think I shall complain to the management 
Hello

I think I'd have to be incredibly determined to find anything in that

Maybe you should enter a 10-year hermitage to enable yourself to become enlightened.

Funny you should be sarcastic about that, but it's something I've seriously considered doing at times. I'd be interested to see how the world had changed after 10 years of ignoring it.

Funnily, I wasn't even being vaguely sarcastic...
I watched a program back ages ago, for no apparent reason, where some evil producer or other forces Tony Robinson to do the worst jobs in history [I think the premise is: It's reality TV, but it's /educational/]. Anyway, he complains that being a Victorian hermit must be one of the worst jobs ever.
I'm sorry, but having 3 meals a day and being paid a hefty lump sum at the end of the year, in exchange for sitting at the bottom of a garden in a cave ignoring people? That would be, like, my ideal job... I've pretty much been doing it without pay anyway
Hello

Fair enough 
I heard about that... my granddad watched it.
It does sound pretty good. But I don't think you would have had internet access...

Can be hard to convey tonal emotion in a text based form without indicators
True, I doubt they had wireless connections in Victorian caves 
Hello
TeaKay Posted Nov 10, 2005
It can indeed *deadpan*.
Yeah- the rock walls would bugger the signal.

...and you woulnd't have a power point to charge from, which would be a pain.
Hello

An extension lead in victorian england?
I think that would constitute a wire, a treadmill, and a dog. Which might not fit in the cave.
Hello
Existential Elevator Posted Nov 18, 2005
I'm not terribly sure how one would measure the quality of a cave... perhaps, in order to fit the desired criterea, we should maybe change from "cave-dwelling" to "gazebo-dwelling", what do you recon?
Hello

I'm not sure about the feasibility of achieving true hermitdom in a gazebo.
