Some of course are blessed with the gift of perpetual middle age.
Others seem quite likely to slide seamlessly from Angry Young Man to Grumpy Old Man. Indeed perhaps have already without noticing...  |

Plenty of time to tick off the last two or three on the list of all the experiences you were going to get in before you hit the two score, Ian. Where better than Totnes with all the ingredients to hand?
There'll probably be a new PhD in that introduced sooner or later. |

It's all very quiet chez hh. Have all of my fellow tenement dwellers gone away for the weekend or do they know something I don't?

Has anyone else had problems when viewing The Sick Room? The text and avatars get scrunched up and then the page freezes along with my mouse. I`ve had to turn off the computer at the wall socket and then re-start it. Windows didn`t like that one bit and promptly confiscated my Active Desktop as punishment  |

No problems (other than comprehension  ) with The Sick Room, Mort. But I did have exactly the problem you describe, and which required the same solution, with The Grumpy Old Rant Room the other day. The problem turned out to be the entirely benevolently and kindly intended 'OMMMMMM...MMM' post from Ollie which went on for several yards, or would have done if it hadn't frozen my pc with fear. Is it possible your problem stems from Andy's giant baked bean picture? [If a Martian is reading this, please don't worry. This isn't a typical earth conversation and it would be best not to try and deduce our language from it.] |

O Room thou art Sick
Just imagine for a minute how a Martian might communicate with us, if its only source of intelligence on the English language was the Waffle thread...
The advantage of having slightly slippery soles on one's shoes is that one can glide effortlessly around one's flat and spin on the spot whilst engaged in boring telephone conversations (best avoided unless the telephone is cordless or mobile).
Perhaps a Martian is already reading this thread, or possibly has been a member of these boards for quite some time... I think it's highly probably actually.

Ah. Yes George, I did have a sneaking suspicion that a surfeit of beans may have been responsible for the rpoblem. As they so often are. I believe. Ahem.

Curses! Foiled by an earthling. Now, inhabitant of the single satellite green planet, it is your task to identify the other aliens in this environment, for I am certain I am not alone.... |

Extra prizes will go to posters making correct identifications of the heavenly body from whence each alien poster hails.

Except in the case of my avatar of course. |

I'm guessing that the heavenly body we should associate with the fair ladies of the board is Venus.
