No, no. Bad, bad, bad.

And very detrimental to the chances of wooing cute girls ;)

generally I find I blush when someone says something nice to me - you are right, I am not prudish or anything like that - I don't blush at risque jokes or whatever - just compliments

I disagree!

exactly.

nice girls like blushes - it tells them that you are not too sure of yourself

Funny thing is, Joan_W, I'm terribly arrogant when it comes to personal ability.

Although, less so lately.

You hold very good company. :) My grandma was the only other person that seemed to have that fine line of .. perfect lady.

(and she was also the only other adult to drink a blowjob (it's a drink people) without her hand and in the glasses I had to serve them in! )

nothing wrong with that - my mother always used to tell me that if I did not have a good opinion of myself, how could I expect others to have a good opinion of me

I'm hoping you're talking about Joan_W and not me, Nyght ;)

at my wedding.

slaad, yes most of that was to Joan, sorry. I should've directed it.

slaad, I always appreciated a male that could blush without getting all befuddled about it.

and my last comment was to slaad

I know, I was just being facetious.

Totally agreed on the opinions aspect... you should feel good about yourself!

5 minute break - cup of tea and a nice lemon danish that I bought fresh from the bakers this morning

well then, yes slaad, you are one of those agrandized people...

goodie!

mind where you are aiming that

Hah! I'm unpickonable.

don't you believe it slaad

ah did you get splashed Joan?

;)

go get your tea!

yes - you should have sent it via the Pacific and not the Atlantic

Oh, sounds like a good time for schnapps + hot choccie.

oh yummy

though I'd do schnapps hot chocolate and cinnamon coffee (but, I'm picky about that)

err... 'TooBigToEdit' on WikiWiki, that is.

...or would it be more a jack-hammer... =)

heh. =)

back with my nice hot cup of tea and lemon danish - crumbs in keyboard

I spilt some water on a keyboard at work once - deceased keyboard

hi again joan!

hi nikki

I've read you can wash a keyboard, but you've got to be really sure that it's dry before you plug it back in...

Joan: did the magic smoke that makes it work leak out?

I don't think I would risk it

no - it was very gentle - just died

we had another keyboard in the office so I used that and let the other one dry out. When it was completely dry and you couldn't tell what had happened, I called the IT department and told them it wouldn't work and they never did find out it had an unexpected bath

heh. =)

haha

sticky fingers - danish too fresh

That's true Martin. Let it dry out a day afterwards. (washing trhe keyboard)

you can wash anything electronic, as long as there's no charge, and it's thoroughly dry before charge goes through... (also do it with purified water if you can.)

I wash my hardware with a rag on a stick

because there might be metal particles in ordinary tap water?

Joan tap water is full of all sorts of crap, especially in hard water areas

hi muz

Hey

scunthorpe has lovely hard water :)

So does Suffolk

I'm not sure, I think it's the mineral deposits to avoid in regular water.. though I've done it Joan.

so has barnsley

We used to do it all the time at the loan shop with a steamer they used to clean jewelry, man I wish I had that machine.

It was a jet propulsion hot steam and it really got things clean!

Yeah, minerals.

...salad?

Skipton, where I lived before had extremely soft water

[22:14] <Nyght> I'm not sure, I think it's the mineral deposits to avoid in regular water.. though I've done it Joan.

But.. yeah, It's not a "myth" and I've done it to many things.. never never never a monitor though, it holds a charge. (at least the old CRT's)

Oh, wait, you mean the nick.

It's my normal-nick-is-used nick

yes

do you really want me to read it as salad now? :P

I'm surprised you didn't already :)

/nickserv ghost slaad password_goes_here?

eeek - henry is trying to get my danish

Ah, I didn't notice it changed. So used to using slaad... :s

LOL

as if he needs your danish!

No need, I'm just too lazy to /nick back, MartinRudat.

he's just trying to save you the crumbs and weight. :D

slaad: heh. =)

he think he ought to be offered it to see if he likes it

and of course he will, if he's anything like Logan

just be careful to get that slash there at the beginning. :)

decided he doesn't like it and gone to look out of the window

awww kitties

well you're lucky, Logan likes everything I am eating, pretzels are his favorite

nikki - henry is the feline equivalent of a garbage disposal unit

weirdos all of em

:)

http://www.stuffonmycat.com/media/2/20060301-FL... Fluffy kity :D

awww muz - cats always find the shady spots

you don't know the right cats

trusting kitty!

I know you want them beth but you can't - you might be adopting a dog

There's a cat like that that likes to peruse my street at night when I come home at god knows what hour drunk

I always stop to pet it :)

I remember a childhood friend's cat would sleep under out bonnet when I visited.

Not sure how it got in there.

...gee, that engine's purring nicely. =)

reminds me of when I would drive, and stop at the stop sign, my kitty (who was hanging out on the car and I didn't notice) would come and paw at the window and say "let me in" to join me wherever I was going.

martin - you are getting as bad as shep

Haha

Joan, the owner came and got the doggy. :) (sorta saddish, it was nice to have a doggy again for a little while)

well, at least you know it wasn't abandoned

how did the boys take it

That always scared me, cats in the bonnet of a car.... I know one that got got that way. :(

The boys I think took it better than I did.. and yeah, I was glad that they came and got it. The doggy missed it's people.

His name was Koda.

Do FedEx deliver on a Sunday?

a new response on mb-style from daydreamer

(In Australia, specifically?)

slaad, I believe so.

they even deliver on sundays if you pay them enough

... Isn't that what I asked? :)

Yay!

ugh, I translated it to Saturday

Well, it'd be your saturday.

don't ask me why, probably cause I haven't slept yet. :D

be back in a few.. breakfast time.

Nyght is now known as NyghtMARE

? where martin

If there are that many pages for possible deletion, there must be as many that are okay. Hardly user friendly

I think that there's something on the order of 1600 pages on the wiki.

how in god's name do they expect a new user to read through that lot and, at the end of it all, to what purpose.

all a new user has to know are the basic of correct editing - maybe a bit over simplistic - but they are just not interested in reams and reams of instructions

well, some of it is summaries of what's been discussed on the mailing lists, some of it is documentation linked/copied to by the server.

but - is there an index to guide you around or do you have to be intuitive and try to guess the name of a wiki page

...there's quite a few pages of discussion about what needs to be done to the wiki, plans for the software, user pages, ...

there are quite a few indexes, I'm not really sure how useful they all are, though.
