Ah, jolly good to see you back, TH. The break gave me the chance to finish reading my thesaurus (or is it thesaurus)..

So glad you're back - I've been worried but didn't want to be nosy! :beer:

Glad it was nothing serious with you and Karen - and only a router problem (as annoying as that is).

Missed you!

There's no way I would ever consider you nosy, honey, and any email or PM from you will always be very welcome. Thanks for thinking of me.

Thanks. It's good to be back.

Looks like the two of you are the only ones playing this, so thanks for that.

Now that you've encouraged me, I'll bombard your inbox and demand to know your whereabouts at all times. Watch out for this rolling pin! ;)

This thread is so much fun and a challenge, and no doubt our friend theSaulaac agrees. (ugh! that was a corny one wasn't it?)

My inbox awaits your input oooer. ;)

Always wondered how a dinosaur managed to write a grammar book, but I guess that's why they went extinct: too much of the old nose (beak? Snout?) in books so they didn't see the asteroid coming.

I can just see it now:

"There's a huge fiery rock coming towards us!"

"Well now: you could have said, a stone on fire, a burning chunk of earth, an... asteroid? Yes, an aster- oh dear! No volume 2 then!"

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Now you're speaking my language!

That's a good spot, ribbons, keep 'em coming! :)

Round 10 ain't easy. You're saving the really tough ones for the last rounds aren't you, TH. We must be getting close to the final boss level :ar_15s:

Hmm. Got another ten prepared....

But I just had a eureka moment on Song 5 - see bolded:

I must set aside some of my day in order to cogitate upon this situation
And become adept at diving the true meaning, should this be a requirement as I age
This high peak I have to ascend takes on the aspect of the planet upon my back
Beyond the thunderheads I observe our star giving its light
Helps me to retain warmth as existence chills.

I have experienced bad things as I grow to maturity
Unsure if it is possible for me to relive them
Nevertheless, I am unable to arrest my progress having journeyed such a distance
And alter my existence, in which I have no company at present.

"This mountain I must climb / Feels like the world upon my shoulders / Beyond the clouds I see it [our star?] shine / It keeps me warm as life grows colder..."

Foreigner - "I Want To Know What Love Is"
