to his RH the King Bomba - on the phone.
Poor KB didn'tunderstand much of what I said.

Apparently, Mala has some sort of high-tech phone where you can adjust the volume. It was set to a low level at first.
Even after she had turned it louder he had trouble understanding me - I think I talked way too fast.

I switched to English, but had the impression he still didn't understand a lot. Ho humm.

If only I wouldn't have this strong accent, people just might understand what I'm saying.

Still, it was great to talk to him (and Mala), and he has a lovely accent when talking German.

Oh, and I now have a photo of KB the camel.

Is there some high tech devise to control the volume of people talking into phones - other than the ubiquitous AK47, which they don't allow me to take on buses areoplanes or into respectable hotel lobbys?

Some phones have a mute button.

Yup - mine does - the OFF one.

There you go - and it won't bring you into prison, either, when you use it.

Well - that's proved a point - for what it was worth!

I've never noticed your accent Bel

*gasp*

You mean...you're forrin?

were are you from germany?

She's a beautiful German girl with a sexy voice to match. There she is in the picture. She's the slim one with long hair. She speaks perfect English with a mere trace of a German accent.

Jab

thought so but good to know who are the other two?(I think I know but am not sure whitch is which)

I don't know about them. You'll have to ask B'Elana.

Jab

Ok
Bell who are the froods in the photo?

Beowulf, it's part of the Post team. From left to right are:

Titania, lil, me.

Gnomon was so nice to take that photo of us to go with my next Post article after the meet. If you go to my PS and click on the photo there it will bring you to said ost article.

speaking of phones i just received a great advice on how to save on the bill: phone, hang up immediately - and wait for nosey people to call back

i have never met a german with lesser accent than you, bel

and i do know what i am talking about



ps: where's king bomba from (other than balwynity)

dang! i dit it AGAIN!!!

that should be of course, not

I read a very strange tip for saving on postage once. (In "Steal This Book" )

If you're mailing something from the same city where the recipient lives, just put their address in the top left corner and your own in the middle right... Then put it in the box without a stamp and it will be "returned to sender"...

But your phone tip has the benefit of being legal

You're suffering from lilitis.

Oh, and Mala, that's not how it works. You'll get your own mail and will have to pay more than the stamp would have cost you.

it would have w*rked here until a few years ago
