Someone posted a while back wondering if FG was based in the UK because of all the UK posters. As I type this at 8:00 AM in California, it is 4:00 PM in London and 1:00 AM (Tuesday) in Australia. This makes it difficult for some to have live posting at the same time. Some still at work while others sleep etc.

It would be fun to get some English Speaking French, German & Swedes on FG. If you have contacts in those countries, why not email them and ask them to join.

In a small side-room on the fourth level of the Drepung Monastery's Great Hall of Silence, where it is tended by fifteen thousand celibate monks. Their leader, Tombstone, occasionally posts here in times of crisis.

Here's the doorway which guards the corridor leading to the main server, neffy. None but initiates are allowed beyond this point. Floral tributes and the occasional yak are left here as gifts for the Administrator.

Spot, what's happened to you lately? You've become sort of flippant and almost light-hearted? Have you been on the booze?



























I'm not complaining mind you, I'm just ever so slightly bemused:thinking:

HUBERT : I'd like to entertain everyone with a bird impression.To lend excitement and colour to his performance Hubert, with all the assurance of a sleepwalker, crossed to the wind-up gramophone and put on some old poppadums Henry had brought back from India. He then began hopping about on one leg.HUBERT : Chirrup, chirrup!He then produced a handful of worms from his trouser pocket and, with apparent relish, stuffed them into his mouth. With the pinky tentacles writhing horribly about his chin he advanced to the table.

Lady Philippa opened her handbag and, with heaving shoulders, buried her head in it.

Are we not straying off-topic here?
