So you moved near the shums so as to avoid the silence, then?

heh...

(never had that problem since !)

actually i moved to this appartment during the summer school holidays, so i didn't know about the shums (note to self : always visit a potential future appartment on a school day, just to be sure).

Ricky - what happened to the armadillopuss?

currently muttering curses at r**p, the bastiche who is bidding against me on ebay for "Me and Frumpet : an adventure in size and science" by Evans G. Valens. if i'm right about the title this was one of my favorite books when i was a child but my parents claim they can't find my old copy. it is out of print and rare and i've seen it on abebooks for 40$. i've been looking for it for literally years. and this stupid auction ends at 4:31 in the morning my time, and i'm supposed to be in bed long before then (must be well rested for tomorrow night !). should i take this as a sign that i should definitively stop buying paper books ?

I'm curious as to what was the second stringed instrument?Couldn't get a good look at it. Never heard someone play a 12 stringer like that singer did. Pretty good! So was that dancer!

Ça veut dire quoi r**p?

Maybe it's someone you know who is trying to get it as a present to you? Well I hope!

I know what this is like and I can't just sit here and let this happen. But I'm at a loss to know how to help, ZP. The bidding ends at 10:30 pm Eastern time in the U.S. I'd be happy to bid for you but am a neophyte at such things and might botch things. Do you or someone else have a suggestion? Heck, I'd be happy to contribute to a pool to just buy it for you somehow. Afterall, we're talking about a childhood treasure here.

that would surprise me greatly. but i suppose hope springs eternel... (if it is someone i know trying to get it as a present : thank you !! brilliant gift !! i'll be thrilled to get it and if you want i'll feign surprise, but in each other's best interests perhaps you should not keep this secret !)

Bidding against you would be a mean thing to do. No one here would ever.

aw ! that's incredibly sweet. well, do nothing for the moment, but perhaps you could keep an eye on it for me after i go to bed... maybe if it doesn't go too high you can bid for me. let me think about how best to do this.

Never heard of Havelok Vetinari, but I like the name. Your juggling picture caught by attention
