Erm, has one of my posts gone AWOL, or did I forget to post it? I was going to say I'm still single, it's just I no longer have access to toasties. Fortunately for the girls of St Mary's College, Durham.

I know, but I;m sure that I'd already answered that point, by pointing out that the toasties *are* past tense, through no longer having access to the toastie bar in Mary's.
Whenever I'm in Sheffield next, I'll take you for a drink. Just so you know what your niece is missing ;D

Thought you'd never ask, you sexy thing, you.
Still I'd like to be back in Sheffield myself. Friend is popping round to the flat tomorrow to check if McCartney gig tix have arrived and how well painters have been getting on. Booked my train tix to Manchester this evening.
Good, as on a point of principle (Yes, I really do have some) I refuse to visit Norfolk (as they say - Norfolk Enchants)...
Worried about the mental state of anyone who calls me 'sexy', though.
I better keep the photos hidden before everyone suffers an outburst of oestrogen, eh?

Hadn't heard that, either, only "Very flat, Norfolk"... Was consequently a bit (although only a little bit) surprised when some American company _ Disney? _ set a film in & around Norfolk's mountains! (The relevant scenes were actually filmed somewhere in the south of Ireland, near Wicklow if I remember correctly...)
Can't remember what film it was, but you are right. Much hilarity in local press. Norfolk isn't *entirely* flat though. It goes up and down a bit in the area south west of Norwich. And Norwich market is set on a slope. The grills in the food stalls have signs on saying that they *are* actually level, they just don't look it because everything else is at an angle.
On the contrary! Way back on the old Fforum, the one to which we can no longer post, I asked if people thought an entroposcope was a good idea for a first date, and Ben responded enthusiastically in the affirmative.
So I brought one. (No, the date was not with Ben...) The young man concerned seemed quite impressed, actually rather more so than I was with him. Oh well, can't win 'em all!
You know, Sarah, this conversation would be less confusing if we got on the phone and talked directly, instead of via several threads. Still I guess the late-nighters and tomorrow's workers can have fun trying to keep track.
Vila and Shiraz were two of my most favourite cats ever.
Sarah, am I right in thinking that I'm the one who introduced you to Jasper's books ? In which case, date referred to above is must have taken place after we met, but I don't remember you mentioning it
