Cool I'll look into that.

My contract's just been extended - only by a year thus far, but it's a start.

[rab] Yay!

[rab] Congrats :o)
I've just got the go-ahead for a new pilot scheme which could double the size of my department :o)

aaah ... nice to be needed :-)

My polo neck became completely detached from my sweater during the course of today. The stitching unravelled and I'm now wearing a crew neck sweater with a rather neat and separate collar. Watch next year's catwalks...

I thought you meant your actual neck had come off for a minute.

(Darren) That's also how I read it just momentarily, and had visions of pen's out-of-body experience. The mind boggled.

Is it just my browser, or do the individual game pages no longer have a 'back to main' button?

[Juxta] Try bottom right - a very discreet pale grey on my browser: It should say "pre - up - next".

It's vary vary dark - hailstorms and lashing rain. Glad I'm at home.

We've had lashing rain and wind this morning and i expect there'll be more, but as I speak, I'm squinting at my PC screen because the sun is hitting it... we've got a window in the maelstrom of meteorological matter right now :o) It's the most light I've seen for about five days.

Someone here once had a go at me for banging on about the weather. Well, thats's Witshire Wisdom for you. :-) Anyway, half an inch of rain measured at Hughes Hall this morning but still a very dry year overall (about 70%) and the grass isn't yet squelchy. Tap your barometers; you won't see them this low very often especially in the south-west.

[Rosie] I'm fickle, me :-)

[Chalky] thanks. =)

Also, had our first (and quite possibly last) snow of the year here in Seattle yesterday. I threw a snowball and everything. =D Usually we don't get any until January or February, if at all.

(Juxtapose) Seattle's climate, as far as I can make out, is as close to British as anywhere in the USA, perhaps just a shade warmer. Of course if you're a displaced Brit, as opposed to a Yank, you won't need telling that.

[Rosie] From Boston, originally, never yet hopped the Atlantic (although I would dearly love to). It's nice to know I'd feel right at home over there. =)

(Juxtapose) Seattle looks a deal milder than Boston in the winter, which I'd imagine is also quite windy and raw. The worst thing about the British winter is the light (absence of). If it's cloudy as it usually is then it's pretty well dark by 4 pm, and earlier still in the north.
