Time for my annual prediction...

That would be the duty of Bates, the long-suffering hall porter.

What about newts? Gussie Fink-Nottle likes newts.

Madeline Basset scares me! :-D

The Newt is a type of salamander; indeed, the Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus cristatus)...not to be mistaken for its smaller brethren, the Palmate Newt (Triturus helveticus) or the low-born Common Newt (Triturus vulgaris vulgaris) is a proud British creature, noted for its strong knees and hatred of Bolshevism in any form. Why, what girl would want a mere box of chocolates when she could have such a stalwart guardian watching over her by night as she slept, assuring that the windows stayed closed, the doors locked, and that bounder Tuppy Glossop far away from her sweet bosom, like a rat held at bay from a piece of fine cheese. ;-)

She beat the hell out of that giant women's basketball player I dated; that was Honoria Glossop made manifest.

Then there is Lady Florence Craye...

"The root of the trouble was that she was one of those intellectual girls, steeped to the gills in serious purpose, who are unable to see a male soul without wanting to get behind it and shove."

I decided to read the end of this continuing thread and find you're discussing Wodehouse? What have I missed (and how many of you are in the secret society?)

RobG (the Aussie one)

She lives in Minneapolis; she thought that Ralph Nader had a excellent chance of winning the presidency in 2000. BTW, Nader may try it again:

You missed the part about the models in Eulalie lingerie, didn't you? It started with talking about playing darts on a cricket pitch or something like that, IIRC. ;-)

And the discussion of a 1/35 diorama of Sir Roderick Spode's Black Shorts on manouevres...

Guys, isn't there anyone here interested in REAL sports?

Motor sports, especially air racing, are the most exciting sports around. Cars, boats, motorcycles, anything with an engine (including the occasional bathtub, bed or toilet) can race in some way. Cars are going well over 200 now and unlimited air racing posts speeds exceding

Easier on the pocketbook, too. Aside from the occasional one time race here and there, one week in Reno is the entire season (of course there is the growing popularity of the Red Bull aerobatic races, which can be really fun).

Try it this year. You've got seven months to save up for it. Make your reservations plenty ahead of time, Reno, Sparks, etc. get completely booked for the September races. Don't forget to get your orange shirt from Section 5, but watch out for the watermellon, it's, uh, strong.

The number and quality of air racing models has improved tenfold. From High Planes to Thrust Decals, there are scores of planes and color schemes.

See you there?

Umm, yeah. I kinda missed all that stuff. Mea culpa. If I get a sudden burnung desire to see what all the fuss is about, I'll tootle over to Google Groups and see if it can be trawled up, what what.

Don't bother. We're pulling your leg about those... ;-)
