      <description><![CDATA[This is a nice thread and I'm glad I found it.I only joined the Phorum last week but I have been to two Ffiestas.I'm 72 years old and may or may not be related to Geg and Lavender Eggplant.( cant't really remember). Any road up they were here first but contrariwise I was there first. I am wise in the ways of this world but the bottomless swamp of cleverness surrounding the Treehouse has got me foxed. Oh for a pie from the cold north with beaded black puddings winking at the brim! I strongly believe I could have been a contender and all that jazz.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[reference a few posts ago.  I passed through Orange in NSW and it was snowing at the time.  Frozen orange juice was being served so stuck to XXXX

While my wife was off sick she developed a taste for muffins and as our apricot and peach trees had a bumper year we are still eating apricot jam,cakes, muffins, some sort of slice, and other apricotty things.

The peach things did not last as long.  Peach and coconut and peach and sultans muffins disappeared before they got cool, let alone cold.

I live in Adelaide, so what should I expect from the name game?

I am not going to mention Scunthorpe.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Why thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

I now am torn between all the delicious refreshments that are being sent my way.
Never before have I experienced the delights of so many fforum ffoods at once:

I can begin with a few pre-dinner glasses of delicious Stumpy Scrumpy
Followed by a starter of freshly boiled (if slightly vicious) lobster, 
For my Main Course I can eat copious amounts of Battenburg, accompanied by any leftover Marshmallows that haven’t been eaten by the Dodos.
I can wash this down with quite a few cups of fictional Tea
Then for dessert, I can munch through the various sweet and savoury pies, each labelled with an “S”

Might I suggest that the pies (both savoury and sweet) be labelled with “SP” as this may help distinguish them…]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I would suggest that as sweetmeats are sugared or honeyed, they are truly sweet and need an &quot;S&quot;, but sweetbreads are animal organs, even if sweet in taste they are savoury and should be marked accordingly.

As long as you remember sweet to the left, savoury to the right, you won't go wrong.

This week the special pies are pork &amp; apple so will be differentiated with an appropriate sign. Any suggestions?

Welcome all!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Welcome be careful around the pies. There are plenty and they are marked to help you to make an educated guess about the contents - Savoury have a &quot;S&quot; marked on them, while the sweet one are marked with a &quot;S&quot;. 

Just to round things out a little I have just cooked up a couple of batches of fresh pies - Sweetbread and Sweetmeat. The big question is should they be savoury or sweet? Sweet is in the name so I've labelled them with a &quot;S&quot;!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hmmm, I don't know if this is the right forum to post in as there seem to be many intro threads, and this one hasn't been updated since 2007... but I thought I would introduce myself anyway!

Hello!
My name is Chris, and I am 1 year and quarter of a century old. 

I'm based in the United Kingdom, and I live just outside London (technically in Essex) in an area called Woodford. It is not by a wood, or a ford, so it's false advertising really, but we don't get many tourists as the highlight of the area is probably a Budgens supermarket.
I work for the Ministry of Defence in Whitehall (it may sound exciting - its not), and before anyone asks - No I am not a spy.

I first got into the Thursday Next series and fell in love with Mr J Fforde about 7 years ago. The Mother (encouraging my bizarre and slightly odd taste in reading) decided to buy me the first book. I now think she regrets it as I ramble on at her about cheese smuggling and mandatory toast eating requirements. 

Despite many of the books including &quot;Special Features&quot; and directions to the website, I have only recently found the fforum. Much to my hilarity, and my work colleagues dismay, confusion and annoyance, I have spent the last few weeks laughing (at times quite openly) over the fforum as I trawl back through the many posts.

Anyway, enough ramblings for now.

Chris]]></description>

Welcome! I just have wait and see if Lymond is calling dips, then you can have a lot of very fast moving peach pie :)

It strikes me that orange could be an extremely sensible name for a town. If it grows oranges or somesuch.

What would everyone rename their towns so that they make more sense?

I think I'd go with Crimerates Rising. Or possible. Used-to-be-a-swamp]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Victim Alert!



My name is Meg and I live in Orange, California (yes, it's a town, too).  Recently I decided never to get older than 36.  I figure I can keep that up until my son is at least 20, right?  Much longer and I suppose it will get awkward explaining my youthful peccadilloes (sp?) to new acquaintance.

I went to college in Boston for a year but was removed by my parents due to over-dependence on influences of the fermented kind.  Since then I have taken any job that allows me to make enough money to live as a single mother in this part of the world while still spending most of my time reading (the oldest profession excepted)...

Can't wait until the new TN is released here on the 24th.  That will only give me 3 days to recover from Deathly Hallows but I think I can handle it.

Look forward to posting and to getting to know you all.  My favorite pie is peach...]]></description>
