*knocks loudly*


Can I come out of the shuttle now, Cap'n?

Yes, lil, you can.

Thanks, smurfles.

Oh you'll do brilliantly!

My experience of you has been that you are polite, very efficient and caring, so you'll make a super-ed (that's different to a Super-Ted)

Is it my turn to press buttons now?

Thank you, Bea , but then it's easy to be polite and caring with all these great people here. We have a saying here:

Wie man in den Wald hinein ruft, so schallt es heraus

(apparently translating as 'we reap what wie sow', although we have another proverb which is a literal translation of this one).

No, lil, you are my secret weapon. You'll only be allowed to press buttons in case we need to threaten somebody.

Then I'd better to off and practise my menacing expressions..

I thought that was my part, lil. It's enough if you hover your finger over a button to make everybody run for their lives.

Aww Shucks!


I was going to make up a spell for spreading lilitis

Don't!

Lilitis is the last thing we need in the Post.

Hi Bel, I see you'll be taking over as editor of the Post for the summer. How exciting! Congrats!

Thank you, pc.

It is very exciting, and I'm crazy enough to actually look forward to it.

I know I'll not be alone, so I guess I'll only panic if hootoo throws a wobbly at the crucial moments.

It sounds very challenging to me. And fun.

Typical as it would be for hootoo to throw a wobbly just as you're hitting "submit" or something, I know you'll do a spectacular job- especially when you can count on so many great people to help you out when needed, too.

Looking forward to reading your "first" editorial this summer. Will that be the next Post?

Is Bel calling Bea a wee sow?

Yes, that's the plan.

I probably really should start taking notes of ideas I have, then try to bring them into something readable (and hopefully interesting?) closer to the date.

>>Is Bel calling Bea a wee sow?<<

That's politeness à la German to you.

Bel,

and I am sure you will be fine. I will try not to get too close to the deadlines sez she ing furiously

Thank you, Webbie. That will be a great help.

Congrats and good luck! Big shoes to fill, but I'm certain you're up to the task.

Thanks, Elentari.

I think if I would attempt to fill those shoes, I would panic. But then I don't think I need to, seeing all the support here, I'm sure you'll be generous and bear with any msitakes I'm bound to make.
