<HTML>Hiya Dave,
at elast you got to flog a load of stuff, even if it did bring a load of emails in...
Bea --> If you're feeling really down, jsut remember you're part of a three man team taking over this entire forum! ;-) I haven't had this much fun since my last relationship split up, so at least somebody appreciates you. *hugs*</HTML>

<HTML>*hugs back*
Thank God for all the wonderful friends I have, old and new :) *hugs back*
Actually it's a 2-man+1-lass-team ;) if we want to be precise ;)
And why do I have the feeling that soon enough we'll have Jasper himself in our doorstep (real or virtual ;)) complaining? Or maybe he'll just thank us for making this a place people want to come to :D
and maybe he'll get ideas for his books from our crazy antics ;)</HTML>

<HTML>I suspect we scare more people off than we attract. And I was using 'man' in the sense of people, because in spirit I am still five years old. I reckon it's like dog years, where you have to multiply by five. In my case you divide by four to get my mental age... ;-)</HTML>

<HTML>We could, but it's more fun to confuse the hell out of people who stupidly expected to find people talking about nextian stuff here...
Can I haev an etropyscope with two types of invisible beads please? I like the idea of owning one, but don't want to scare myself with too many weird coincidences - I'd rather stay ignorant...</HTML>

<HTML>Why be shy and use a baby food jar?
What you want is one petrol storage tank, 200 bowling balls and a crane. If the whole lot starts levitating, something weird is happening. ;-)</HTML>

<HTML>Looks like a soap opera is performing here live on my very own forum! This being 2002 and with the current obsession for 'real life' drama I have already sold the rights to Channel 4 - you both air tomorrow evening at 9:00 and will be on the front page of 'Hello' next week.
If you want an entroposcope I have posted a DIY version at <www.jasperfforde.com/download1.html> and is downloadable in a flatpack self assembly form.

<HTML>Ben, is that you taking the p***?
lol
If not, oh well, thanks, but I hated Big Brother and I'm proud to say I haven't watched a single minute of it *giggles* All the millions that read this forum is enough to witness my crazyness, thanks :D
and lol, Dave had already told me I'd been calling it by a weird name not true at all... anyway, I do want to make one and keep it handy at home :D
I'll be watching the mailbox anyway ;)</HTML>

<HTML>does it come with flashing lights and instructions? Apparently IKEA are investigating a flat-pack that tells you when you're going wrong...

<HTML>Bea! Oh you of little faith...
I suspect thet really was Mr Fforde, and he didn't seem that pissed off at being able to sell it to Channel 4!
I was taking the piss with the crane and stuff though....
Hello Mr Fforde!</HTML>

<HTML>Thinking about the flatpack with the flashing lights and stuff, could you use microsoft as an entropy verfication thingummy? 'Cause I reckon if you can get through an entire day without either word, excel or explorer crashing, then that has to be too weird to be just coincidence...

<HTML>Dammit, I was so busy mailing Bea I didn't get to speak to her. Does anybody else have this problem? Bea, you now have mail. It's probably useless, but then I've been as bad as T before, so it's difficult for me to say much without condemning myself. I think you understand.
I hope you're feeling better tomorrow (today?), and if you aren't we'll try and cheer you up anyway. And I suspect Mr Fforde passing through may have put as big a smile on your face as mine...</HTML>
