Hurrah! For the second time in a year, I have completed Solitaire and Freecell before going to bed. I shall sleep soundly tonight.  Sigh. |

[waits for Weyland to tell me he completes Solitaire and FreeCell several times a day] I'm sick and tired of being bullied on this board, but since I no longer have anywhere left to flounce off to I forgive you, Ev. Again.  I play no computer games, and even if I did, and even in the unlikely event that what you say were true, I wouldn't be so gauche as to brag about it. So there.  I'm off for an extended sulk. Any good sulking tips, Jean?  |

The most important thing about a sulk is that people notice you're doing it.
There are so few people here now that it's possible they may not.
I've made a note of it, though.
(How is your new kitchen coming on?)

I wasn't sulking. I was away, in Malmesbury - not trying to hang-glide off the abbey tower:  or getting killed by a tyger:  |

Aubrey, the woman who died in the early 1700s by 'tyger'.
How did that work?
If she's buried in an English graveyard right, and even I know there weren't 'tygers' roaming the English countryside before the Union (although I'm sure the nation was generally less civilised.).
So she must have been killed by a 'tyger' abroad. Somewhere foreign.
And in those days, they didn't have freezers or anything. Or aeroplanes.
So her 'tyger'-ravished corpse would have had to make a long sea voyage to get back to England. The whole time rotting away.
That wouldn't have been pleasant for anyone, would it?

Au contrair mon ami Back the good old days, there were no laws regarding owning dangerous predatory animals that could disembowel you in about two seconds, your common purpose nanny state didn't exist back then...so young Ms Hannah could easily have been mauled to death while residing in this sceptered isle. "What immortal hand or eye, dare frame thy fearful symmetry"William Blake penned the above after having to hide in his attic for several hours when a stray tiger bust into his house and raided his pantry.

AH I don't think you're telling the truth about William Blake, but I take your point that this poor woman could have been tygered to death at home back in the day. Maybe Aubrey can come back and fill us in. After all, it's he who is pushing the photos of the gravestone and all! |

And off on a tangent...can you have outright lies etched into your headstone?
"Here lies AH, he died fighting off an alien invasion...just after he'd knocked out Satan in a fist fight"
...sort of thing?
I may leave specific instructions if that is the case.

Wonderful stuff Jean. Thanks.
Barmaids never have it easy, eh?
Imagine being killed by a tyger. That would be a crappy way to go I think.

Hands up who used to watch Dr. Who from behind a cushion? I didn't, of course, because even at Episode 1, I was too old to be scared.  |

Watch out for it.
