Well done David! I see you were suitably focused on the junction ahead with some traffic coming in from the left. Signals too. Obviously has the very original controls etc. What are those two big nobby handled ones to your right at about shoulder level ?
Cheers, Mike.
Nope, you're looking over the shoulder of Frank, right after me. He's the crusty old gentleman who spent 15 years restoring the red car I'm running, and then the next 15 years restoring the car he's running. I don't think I've even been in that car yet, so I don't know what the knobs are.

YOU are?! *smear cheesed-off look all round thread* You should try it from MY end... *scowl*
Positively rushed over here... you know... just as soon as I could be bothered to... *lacklustre blink* ...because I thought I should, so proving that we all make mistakes... *flap eyelashes at sufficient gust-rate to restart dust circulation* ... There... some spots before the eyes for you... appreciate them or despise them... see if I care.
*seek first target for directidious insultingums specificuss and drop gaze straight off end of anniet nose*
David. Didn't recognise you for a moment... you know... without your shirt... How nice of you to drop in. I see fame hasn't stopped you polluting the thread...

Am I mostly looking at people in the correct century?
What kind of question do you call that? *curl lip using hair pin* Who is having doubts? Them, or you? Do any of you have convincing proof? Do any of them even claim to be in the wrong one, or is it one of your "funny feelings"? Can anyone other than yourself see these people? No. I thought not.

You've done the maths haven't you? Well then... that's precisely where they'll be. And where they stayed.

In politics, a peg must always be available for rapid nasal deployment. I thought everyone knew that. No wonder everywhere is in such a state... *pause to pour scornful gaze upon whole world* ... Seti politics is NO different. If, like myself, you enjoy being invigoratingly impaled on a url, unceremoniously inserted into a marching drum, and then turned into a target for rabid ravings before being shredded by prowling sabre tooths, a peg can make all the difference between staying friends, or reversing your tank straight through someone's front room and out the other side. And if you like loitering with intent to watch the mauling happen to others, then it can save your integrity as an impartial observer and promote world peace... so USE it.
Well?
Go onNOWNOW...
*watch Bill hurriedly deploy his peg*
Yep... *emboss ceiling with eyebrow imprints* I REALLY should have known.
LONG list of items extracted from your nose as a child I take it... How did you do it? Shove things up one nostril thinking it would emerge from the other... random alternations or binge-cram both at the same time...
*mobilise anniet's very own lizard-nictitating-devices on side and back of head* excuse me... are you going somewhere ...? *fix Mike and MAGIC with piercing gaze, test with spirit level, and adjust angle of head*
But I haven't said hello to you yet...
I was going to say thank you for the calculus link MAGIC. With it I have been able to do so much more to maths than I think I have ever managed before, but then I came across this...

It is good to see Annie taking maths and physics seriously. She has displayed flawless** ability at calculus.

Awwwww :) Well it's SO nice to be amongst those that recognise that fact, so thank you, Mike :) But no stars are needed... really :)

But none of that is why I'm here. I'm here because LAST SATURDAY I thought this looked interesting...

*sweep scathing blink round thread* ... and I STILL haven't finished perusing them... basically... because they got so dull so quickly it suddenly became much more imperatively urgent to tumble backwards down the stairs and break my collarbone. Yes. It seemed a shame to waste the event on just a few bruises... but I REALLY wish I had now... *burst into anniettears* because I wasn't made to be right handed. I really really wasn't and it's making me... well... YOU SAW WHAT IT'S MAKING ME!!!!
Why not compare the original line that started this post... some considerably-NOT-insignificant time ago...
"*beam kind rays of sunshine into all thread corners*"
with the one that did and then consider yourselves thoroughly beamed...
I will be back... but de-gobbledygooking what is coming out of my keyboard is driving me CRAZY ... so you may very well NOT WANT to be...

There is a description of a tour of the original Hanford 'secret' plutonium

I was unaware that you had plans in place to Manufacture Plutonium ?
If it was anyone but you (Anniet - Phil - Scott Etc. ) I'd be worried !

ALSO: Anniet seems to have resurfaced +1

There I was, minding my own business, then SOMEBODY had to drag my name into it.

Fade to black, until the next episode.
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
