just ignore and let this one die

On other subject- your language lab- any other languages? It would be cool to majorly improve my French - lots of room for improvement there!

Story of the day:

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peters legs and slammed his stupid ass against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Pep thinks: "Perhaps my role in this forum can be to keep this thread on page 1 while my colonial cousins sleep . . . "

ok so I am sitting here w/my laptop feeling under the weather a bit and thought I should rescue the thread from pg 2. ....

Everything changed for me, after hearing Stevie for the first time. I had tickets for a gig in London that he was due to play, but then the accident happened.

bloody helicopters

can we do that?

Hello again!

Its been raining all day and now the sun is shining so peaceful and pretty.

Well then, what went wrong? We fell to page 2? It was only a bit over an hour between your two posts. The first page must be hoppin today.

If no one has thanked you yet, I thank you!
So, did you have a good day? Having a good evening?

An hour? Between 7 am and 6pm GMT + 1 (jokingly known as British Summer time) ? I have the equivalent of the dawn patrol - a dirty job but someone has to do it.

Pep (sometimes I get to talk to threadies who should already be in bed, which can make it worthwhile)

Go back and reread the original post again (#24196). I first quoted you, asking what went wrong because you had said you were going to keep us on page 1 -- I was just ribbing you btw, in case you aren't familiar with my posting style. I then quoted Morgaine about falling to page 2 because it had only been "one hour between HER two posts" and yet we were apparently on page two when she made the second post.

I was just about to run a bath, then I thought...'what the heck, it's lovely and warm' so I took the soap, shampoo and a towel down to the creek instead.

Best time of the day Be safe getting there.
