(As a reply to the posts in the noob thread for Feb)

@Miki: Fine, thank you. You?
Heard that you're pregnant by going through some thread. Congratulations.

@Sly (and everyone else): My names really Alex and ATM I'm in Singapore though I am NOT Singaporean. And yes, my best talent, procrastination. I'm a lazy bastard but I'm interested in programming and designing (shop, aftereffects).

Not 11 but find the rest yourself :)

Anyway how're you guys today?
Posted by syl, around 2nd March 2010:
 
I'm good thanks, better than yesterday. I would ask for Mondays off, but then Tuesdays would suck.

So if you're not Singaporean what are you?
Posted by Archeleus, around 2nd March 2010:
 
I'm an Indian. From this place called "Gods own land" (to which I disagree, A LOT) otherwise known as Kerala. But since I don't know any Indian languages (I know only English and French), they don't consider me Indian. Amusing.

Yeah, it's tough to keep up with your mother tongue when you're in a foreign country. I'm quite ashamed that I've never leart to speak Italian or Dutch. I speak Afrikaans which is quite similar to Dutch. Is Hindi quite difficult to learn? Maybe you can do some courses. Do you follow the Hindu religion? I'm not religious but I like some things about the Hindu religion like the respect for animals.

I'm good too thanks, indeed quite pregnant which is bizarre :)

we apologise for this place being so quiet, it used to be very busy but everyone fell asleep.
maybe we should tell you a few things about the site? although having read some of the other threads definitely means you should be approved :D

1. most people here are 1 person each, but the rest of them are all the Doc
2. he is Cal, but he's not here that often
3. Cal invented the internet
4. I have never met Cal but I have met some of the others, hence being pregnant
5. we're a pretty international bunch, quite a few from the uk but some Brits have also moved to other countries. I don't think we have had anyone from India before though.

can't think of anything else for the moment, I need food.

@syl: I am not really ashamed about it but yes, I would have liked to have learnt it at some point but yeah it's kind of tough. I'm not really interested in it but I do know some excellent swear words :D I'm not Hindu, I'm a Christian (protestant) though it's been a couple of weeks since I last went to church. Not all that religious either, you can say. I don't know much about the Hindu religion. We have a huge time difference between us I guess. It's 10:19 am here now and I just woke up but I guess it's like 2:19 am there.

@miki: Thanks for the info and yeah I'd like to be approved :)



I can't think of anything ATM either but maybe I'll just randomly add in that I love cats :D
Posted by syl, around 4th March 2010:
 
I also love cats! I am nuts about all animals.
Posted by syl, around 4th March 2010:
 
Not that fond of crocks and sharks, but I'll still defend their right not to be made into handbags and shark-fin soup.
Posted by Archeleus, around 4th March 2010:
 
Yeah cats are awesome. My mum doesn't like 'em so I can't have one. I can't say I like any kinda reptile or insect but as you said I'll still defend them as long as I don't have to go near :)

Who doesn't like animals?

Posted by che, around 5th March 2010:

Posted by che, around 6th March 2010:

1. most people here are 1 person each, but the rest of them are all the Doc

I thought all of us were Doc.

2. he is Cal, but he's not here that often

Is he still around?

3. Cal invented the internet

Yeah, and then he just abandoned it and left this mess.

4. I have never met Cal

I have. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

but I have met some of the others, hence being pregnant

You can't prove that.

5. we're a pretty international bunch, quite a few from the uk but some Brits have also moved to other countries.

Like Canada, the US and Staines.

little exploded dog yes

Posted by Archeleus, around 7th March 2010:
 
I've been really busy and to add to that I've a cold now. Hope you're all fine. Btw, am I gonna be approved or not?
Posted by syl, around 8th March 2010:
 
Well, we'd like you to be approved, but only Cal can do that. He's not here very often :(
Posted by cal, around 8th March 2010:
 
done

POM! POM! POW!

Oh my. That's a name from the past. Hi!
Posted by syl, around 12th March 2010:
 
Hello :) !!
Posted by Miki, around 14th March 2010:
 
I could use some help but don't feel like opening a new thread for it so here goes:

on a (technically lame) forum I have a topic (say 80 pages long)
I want to save this topic for the future
contrary to other forums I can't save the whole topic in one go, I can just save one page at a time
so I've done that and now I have a folder with 80 .mht files
(a lot of work yes, but I'm still on maternity leave so there you go)

does anyone know a way to stick these 80 files together into one file so reading it won't be a pest?
thanks :)

Hi all, just checked out that advert from Denmark and thought I live in the wrong country!
Posted by Grim..., around 15th March 2010:
 
@miki - I'm not convinced you can.
Posted by Miki, around 16th March 2010:
 
I was afraid of that
well not really afraid, you know what I mean
Posted by syl, around 17th March 2010:

...That cute little guy is the latest expert(haha) lokking for the glass that you got in your hand 2years ago.(such a list of funny suggestions too)Did it all come out yet?
Posted by greeneyes4ana, around 19th March 2010:
 
Oh hi by the way. I am Ana and it was broken glass in hand that led me here but the thread made me laugh so i signed up-talk about random......
Posted by greeneyes4ana, around 20th March 2010:
 
Tis a strange creature tho'
Posted by beargod, around 20th March 2010:
 
Doc, thats an Ayeaye, or something
Posted by beargod, around 20th March 2010:
 
Ayeayes, used to be my favourite creature at one point, they rock!

Posted by greeneyes4ana, around 21st March 2010:

Posted by greeneyes4ana, around 21st March 2010:
 
OMG-how harsh 2 b restricted to newbies topic page when i got enough to say about all thatother stuff. I get the impression that it takes a while to get approved by the elusive Doc Cal.
Posted by greeneyes4ana, around 21st March 2010:
 
OMG how harsh to be awaiting approval when there are so many subjects that i could comment on. I get the impression that it takes a while to get approval from theelusive Doc Cal!
Posted by cal, around 21st March 2010:
 
approved. believe it or not folks, this is not the doc
Posted by beargod, around 22nd March 2010:
 
Really? There is another Doc out there somewhere?

The trouble with Iamcal is that It used to have lots of people talking all day everyday, then everyone, including me left, then everyone else checks it less. I think that we need Vic back, then Sul, AP and che to talk more :P
Posted by syl, around 22nd March 2010:
 
Greeneyes4anna, are you the Ana of old, the physics student. If so, hello again, if not welcome :)

@beargod I check it every day :) old habits die hard. I enjoy everyone here, always have. A nice bunch of people. I guess all the conversations are happening on Facebook these days :( Facebook seems to have taken over cyberspace.
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 23rd March 2010:
 
I'm fairly sure all the broken glass came out of my hand. If not, then it's been in there for a goodly while now.

And Brock could tell us what it's like to be married to Pixel.
Posted by Brock, around 24th March 2010:
 
After some stories for your spankbank, Warhead?
Posted by WarHead, around 24th March 2010:
 
Good gracious me, no. I was hoping for tales of wedded bliss/happy endings to a man's search for fulfilment/shit like dat.
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 24th March 2010:
 
WH: Do you mean stories like One man, one lady, one N.L.P. or How Brock lost Abe and found a wife.

Or...... is Abe the wife?

TBH, I had no idea Brogue got married. My most hearty congratulations.
Posted by WarHead, around 24th March 2010:
 
Yep, they got married and fled across the border to Canadada ..... or fled across the border to Canadada and got married ... actually, I think I was right the first time.
