pea, I also suggested 'aitch' - see page one of this discussion. Great minds think alike!

hmm, I don't know about that...we don't have thespiderman, thesuperman, thebananaman (you get the idea). I didn't put a lot of effort into my username. I guess I like pea or piglet best of the regulars.

1264: kings, battles..and another family feud - Kublai Khan defeats and imprisons his brother.

Okay, that was a disaster...

"You could carve your name into it...if IT IS a middle-of-LAST-century style wooden affair...which I'm sure it's not."

I'm spoiling your exciting thread.

middle-of-LAST-century

You could carve your name into it...if it's not a middle-of-laset-century style wooden affair...which I'm sure it's not.

...or maybe he won't care. After quite a few attempts, I realised that nothing was going to change and I was only upsetting MYSELF by thinking things could change (and trying to make them change by telling how I felt). After 18 months I made a very definite decision just to deal with it (or not deal with it) in silence...

Oh, you actually know what they're talking about. I wasn't even considering the science. I saw someone get shocked by something - wasn't really paying attention.

Nah they look genuine enough to me - what's misleading is the emphasis on WATER - surely it's a solution (that makes a big difference!). Mind you, the woman-being-treated picture looks a bit dodgy.

No - we should do this the long way...

1261: Pope bans flagellants, population of Greenland accepts overlordship of king of Norway (courtesy of wikipedia as usual). That's actually quite interesting - I didn't think there WAS a population of Greenland in 1261. You won't get bored this way!

Like nu-metal (happened (briefly) a few years ago). It's just something that calls itself metal (not necessarily justifiably)...but it's bad! From what I remember it's typically played by kids for the kids who are too young to remember the first time.

congratulations!

there go my thesis hopes

£5 for an official transcript, or you can access an unofficial one online (post-1996). I think I did this once, can't really remember, but wouldn't getting something (copy of original - if you have it) stamped by the uni suffice? (or is this essentially what they charge for?)

Now that is special...we'll be waiting until 12345 for another one of those! (unless 2345 'counts' ...)
