Assuming we use page references as sources for the articles, which edition do we use?

Went for 'some other time' because it depends. Dinner is the main (hot) meal out of lunch and tea.

When do we get to start adding stuff?

For a free internet game, Echo Bazaar! is surprisingly awesome. Downside is that you can only log in using a Twitter or Facebook account, but the upside of that is that you can invite people that you know from these places to join you in the game for stuff. Amusing, weird and strangely compelling.

Best and cheapest way to remove marks from screen:

1. Lick finger
2. Apply saliva to mark
3. Wipe VERY softly with tissue
4. Tada!

Has anyone tried the games you can download for the BBC website? I'm sure they're quite childish, but are they worth playing from a narrative point of view?

Bean_wannabe

Looking good - will the icons be different for the different boards?

Bean_wannabe

Indeed, though we live in hope.

I successfully used a pressure cooker today! Bwahaha, soon I will manage to do chickpeas!

Best use of evil laughter I've heard in a long time.

Sounds good - combining the two movie threads is especially a good thing, given we haven't had any actual news in years.

Bean_wannabe

I love it. I take it I'm not meant to be able to see any content yet?

Can the Earth picture maybe be a link back to the homepage?

The thing is, many other Mayan calendars carry on after the date. It just so happened that this particular one stops on this date. Maybe they thought they could have managed to make a new list of dates by now?

What's the numberplate? The family's old Peugot had a HCP numberplate, so was always Henry C Peugot.

On the subject of awesome, game music, this definitely qualifies:

I'm a teacher, so I often do.

I knew it!

I got the coolest Christmas present ever.

USB plasma globe.

The version I know has a different last verse to what you posted:

The very next summer
There grew up a tree
And on it were meatballs
To have for my tea

Boxing day arose when maids at upper-class houses got to go home to their families after Christmas. They would take boxes of presents and food home, hence Boxing Day.

Merry Christmas everyone, from snowy Britain.

And remember: it's the one day of the year that it's considered socially unacceptable NOT to eat too much. Make the most of it.

Bean_wannabe

I'm on it! o7

Bean_wannabe

Wow. Just wow.

Curved is definitely better, but do we really have to use those versions of the covers? They're the least attractive ones available!

Bean_wannabe

I like the layout - nice and readable. Maybe the text a little bigger?

Bean_wannabe

+ Got an offer from Oxford Uni! Yay!
- Requires 3 As, with two of them being maths and further maths
- Got some hard decisions to make

Overall, however, I think it's a definite plus.

Just a completely random suggestion, but would it be possible to make a network of all the members and their geographic locations, then use that as some sort of banner? The actual 'web' of PWeb?

To be fair, the Germans had their fair share of trouble with snow. Their Russian assault was not exactly successful. And I'm sure there's no difference between the Siberian winters and the light dusting of snow that's around here now.

Britain's in the grip of the coldest December since a long time ago, looks like we'll have the first white Christmas in years, and all people do is complain about it. Lighten up! Schools are closed anyway for the holidays, and a bit of cold weather never hurt anyone. I can just imagine people in (fo...

In which case, I will change my offer: I will gladly do damage control/maintenance/whatever needs doing on whatever system we end up using, if and when we end up using it.

I think that covers all the bases...

I can volunteer for as long as I am alive - it all gets a bit metaphysical after that.

Bean_wannabe

If no-one wants to take on wiki damage control, I'll volunteer.

Bean_wannabe

To go off track slightly, I can't help but see a trend here. In Britain at least, the government has been seen since about 1995 to be mostly benevolent, and it was not the done thing to be obviously against it too much. Now however, this seems to be changing. WikiLeaks seems to have started it, with...

Apparently did well enough in my Oxford Uni admissions test that they've decided to interview me - yay!

What's not so good is that I'm expected to arrive there on Sunday 12th at 5pm, and leave AT THE EARLIEST noon Wednesday. That's one long interview.

Bean_wannabe

UGH. Do not get me started. I'm in denial. Hoping it gets Ender's Game'd.

What? Are you trying to suggest something about the chances of the film ever materialising? Shame on you.

Bean_wannabe

L4D-style safe-room wall arguments.

Bean_wannabe

Ah - that makes more sense. Cheers.
