*waves* Hey Sarah! Long time no see.

Martin, I like the term older newbie, and I'm using it from now on. It'll make me sound young. Then I can stop waving my walking stick at the kids on the lawn.

Welcome back!

Hello, I'm one of the crazy Americans who came for the books & stayed for pie-
afraid I ate the last piece of chocolate cake but have some cocoa, it's my specialty-
it's be good with the sweeter pies that are hiding around here somewhere...

Wow! Everyone's coming back!

Now if the pointy stick's original owner came back, perhaps I could lose this reputation...

I don't know. I suggest one of the sniggering ones might know. Presumably the answer is not Winston Churchill though.

Ah, it was before the Horrific Event. Question answered.

In any case the answer might have been Captain Kirk or Alexander the Great.

I give in: clearly nobody else is going to ask,

what Horrific Event?

It involved swiss cheese and I'd rather not talk about it without my counsellor.

Dear Mr Spengler,

We regret to inform you that following your candid revelations about the Horrific Swiss Cheese Event your Counsellor has been forced to resume a new identity and is currently living under Police protection in a secret location.

Under these circumstances it will be impossible for her to continue your treatment.

We are currently unable to find anybody willing to take your case on but wish you all the best with the future.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Bob Tidings.

How can you 'resume' a 'new' identity?
