Carol (Anothergirlfromoz) nice pictures, particularly of... ahem, me.

I think that you caught my bullish nature quite well.-->here<--

Nice outfit! Go Aussie!

Greetings ffellow Fforde ffans.

I am popping on the fforum to say THANK YOU!!! to an incredible group of fforganizers for a GREAT time at the Ffiesta. It was incredible, brilliant, superb ffun. . . .
We are Mary, @#$%&, & Bob from the US (Mary here actually writing -- Bob & @#$%& are about somewhere. @#$%& may be writing more winning teenage angst poetry for all I know.).

Thanks, also to everyone who has put up pics on Flickr. As soon as I figure out how to do that, I will put up some of the photos I took. Can't wait for the next Ffiesta.

Mary

Hi all. Im new to the fforum and just wanted to say hi.
Also: are kids allowed at the fforde ffiesta?
and is there any battenberg around anywhere? im starving!

There's some Battenburgh behind you, but if you want something really nice you should try Kitten's Special Pie.

Welcome!

(No idea about the first question, sorry.)

Kids are allowed, but you also need a fully functioning time machine

Oh, has this year's Ffiesta already happened? :(
I think I'll try some of the pie, thanks. One thing I'm starting to notice: Quite a lot of you seem to be from the U.K. Am I right? my post is telling me I wrote my message at 12:16 A.M. when I actually typed it at about five in the evening. Is the Fforum functioning on British time?

Only if you whish it to. You can set your time zone in the Control Center under 'Forum Settings'.

Good to know. Thanks!
Does the Ffiesta happen in Swindon?

Yes, it's in Swindon. I'm not sure when the next one will be--if I'm correct they've been held every two years so far, but Ptolemy would be the one to ask about the next one.

Yes, the Ffiesta did indeed take place in Swindon - the second such event to do so, with more to follow.

There is a home page for it here [www.ffordeffiesta.com]

And yes, this Fforum does function on British time - it's run by Jasper Fforde who is a British author.

Hope this helps and welcome aboard

Much Thanks, everyone. Yes, I'm no dummy and I know that Jasper is indeed British.

Welcome. There's quite an active Aussie contingent here as well. We've got a public holiday this weekend so the Aussie side has been a tad quiet by the look of it.

Yes, it's traditional that no-one speaks bar in very hushed tones until after the 10th...
