Thanks for the welcome smile.

I'm sure there are planty of other mad scientists here, but we'll see whose mysterious bubbling green stuff is... erm... bubblier and greener? biggrin

Ca va tres bien merci, mais je suis tres occupe au jour d'hui.

I was terrible at French in high school due to a combination of incompetence and laziness, but most of my labmates can speak it so it's the ideal time to learn. I'm starting from the beginning though, so can't really say much that's useful yet. Just the usual "the pen of my aunt has fallen into the mirage" stuff...

I might finish off the introduction questions later on to give you all a deeper look at my psyche (it's an odd place, but great fun to live in!), but for now I need to get back to the lab and pour lots of gels, oh joy!

Have fun all, I'll be back later and see you aound the forums!

gday bugs! welcome to HoP!! biggrin

I`m no scientist... but I am quite possibly mad... and am training to be evil... tongue all, I know for sure, is that if your bubbly stuff is GREEN, you`re ok to me... wink

Blu_valley and poig: What's all this "owner of" and "owned by" business in your profile? Have I unwittingly stumbled into some sort of sinister slave trading ring? *looks nervous*

Helloooooo, sorry I've been so slow to say WELCOME !!!

hug

As you already know, I could be an ideal lab slave, but as you also know, if you ask for the green bubbly stuff you'll probably end up with some blue bubbly stuff frown

Oh well, I'm off to work on my lisp (and make up some LB). Come to Spitz after French if you've got the energy!

JAC - I normally go along to Balls! at UCL on Mondays. I keep meaning to come along to Spitz and meet people but haven't got around to it yet. I might go tonight and beg, steal or borrow something to spin, but more likely I'll get some much-needed sleep tonight and go next week instead. I've been neglecting my spinning in favour of juggling lately, so I'd better practice a bit before showing my face. weavesmiley

I'm not a real SCUBA diver yet, I've just started learning with [url="www.ulsac.net"]ULSAC[/url], so just on my way to being an ocean diver. Cave diving sounds vey cool, can't wait to give it a try smile.

Irinus - thanks for the welcome! I didn't know about your blue/green blindness -- I'll remember that just in case I need to, say, camoflage an apple or some [url="https://www.aquariumfish.net/images_01/rainbow_neon_blue.jpg"]neon fish[/url] as part of some Cunning Plan! I'll probably be too tired for Spitz tonight -- I'm exhausted today for some reason -- but definately next week.

Are we supposed to be meeting up to sort something out for Tuesday, or shall we just leave it until Monday? I know we talked about this but I honestly can't remember what we decided. I think my mind has finally snapped... confused

Hi and welcome wave

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Hi Bugs, welcome to HoP!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
