Intriguing. It wasn't a Spanner you were after was it?

And so it was told... General Merriment
And thusly today the engineers did finally find the solution to the problem. And the solution was sound and required only one tool. The tool was common and verily the cry did go out "there'll be one around here somewhere!" So they searched high, and they searched low and so it was that the cry of "I've got one at home" was called out, but it was deemed that this was not very helpful.

Thus the task was attempted without the tool, but quickly was it forsaken for being too bloody hard.

So the engineers scattered across the building to the other department of engineers, as it was deemed that "surely there must be one in this building somewhere". But they were met by the faces of blankness, and the voices of "I think there's one over there - have you tried Bob?". But it was not over there, and even though Bob's got one of everything he did not have the tool.

Finally in the furthest corner of the building the engineers met with heavy sighs and accepted that the tool could not be found. So they entered council on the way forward and decided that "sod it, it's the weekend, let's go home". So with happier hearts the returned to retrieve their stuff. But the boss had deemed that there was too much to do, and so although the weekend was mighty and wonderous it was also now short having fallen to the neutral forces of overtime.

So the engineers gave their boss a good kicking for suggesting such a thing, only not really because he was on the phone and it wouldn't have been very nice.

Not necessarily, it depends on how it's done. I'd imagine that they'd become pretty varied certainly, but I can see a board where office work: the musical sits quite happily beside... I was going with the Diziet's zombie blog, or Allen Key's beanie but I can't seem to find either of them

It is legal to get married outside... it depends who's marrying you, not the location. I went to a wedding once in the gardens of a stately home on the Isle of Wight, was fantastic. Also nice is a mexican themed buffet, complete with mexican beers and margharitas.

Another nice idea is a 'winter wonderland' theme- a friend from work got married in december, and everything- clothing, paraphenalia etc- was in white or red, and there were open fires at the reception xxxxx

Yeah, the lawn mowers. I'd always imagined this hover-craft-gliding thing that you whizzed around the lawn. As it turns out, it only hovers over grass that's already been cut, leaving it kind of pointless and not very good.

As I'm a little limited in my knowledge of the Apple world can you tell me what made you go for that one particularly?

Reaper 9/10
A slacker who's had life his own way discovers that his parents sold his soul to the devil before he was born. Now he has to hunt down souls that have escaped from hell with his two slacker buddies...

The devil's a bit too nice, but he is slickly cool. The main enjoyment comes from the three friends having fun with their new gig - whilst tormenting their old boss. It's a simple fantasy slacker comedy action thing basically!

Just a thought, but do they really need to be sub-boards to start off with? Wouldn't a simple "craftily creative" board do and all the other stuff fall into individual threads?

Maybe that's just me?

Post a poem here! General Merriment
One of my favourite love poems:

Prandial Plaint

My love, I love your breasts, I love your nose.
I love your accent and I love your toes.
I am your slave. One word, and I obey.
But please don't slurp your morning brew that way.

Vikram Seth

My other favourite love poem

A really neat idea I've come across is providing all of your guests with interesting paper when they arrive. The idea is that they right down their hopes and wishes for your new life together on the paper and then when you walk back up the aisle they get thrown over you.

It's a pretty symbolic gesture I admit, but it has the advantage of being much easier to clean up than confetti, and means people are much more likely to write something than in a wedding book...

Edward Monkton books are great for readings. They're bizarre but fun!

New Boards General Merriment
I'm thinking of just putting little 'sub board' links on each board page and the front page unter the board descriptions. The main question I'm pondering is whether the boards that these are sub-boards of should be postable to. i.e. would the parent boards be simply places to hold the links to the sub-boards or full boards in their own right for more general topics under the subject area?
What does anyone think?

Yes! Yes yes yes! I've just ordered one! Ohhh, baby, yes, indeed I have.

And it's going to be great!

Yes!

Can you tell I'm excited?





(By the way, I know this isn't a Techy thread as such, but it seems likely to descend into one so I thought it belonged here.)
