I can now officially use this emoticon: :geek:

Does anyone know who won the "Chance to be frozen in cryonic stasis"? And did the winner actually take that prize or opt for the £50k cash instead?

The question of the moment...

Will aubergine wear his WZ badge proudly when he gets all spiffed up for a party night on the town with his gal. ;)

I think that might lead to divorce. I've been spending copious amounts of time with WZ recently causing wife #1 to make snide remarks about me having an affair with WZ :)

Mine did likewise, back in the day. More than once I saw a look in her eye that made me think she was more than a little tempted to smack me upside my head. Now when she asks what I'm up to, I say: "Oh, you know, the usual. Having an affair with one of my many projects." And I throw in a hearty chuckle of reassurance. She just rolls her eyes and says: "Just don't you forget who butters the buns..." And I retort sweetly: "Never in a million years, my dear. The sun of my world rises and sets with the smiles I can bring to your lovely contenance." A bit thick, I know but.... with a twinkle in her eye, she gestures me to scoot & says: "Off with you." And I go to one of my little project "affairs" assured that life is grand and my just deserts await in the evening tide. ;)

I believe in that old adage: "The eyes are the windows to the soul."

Even in HTH combat. While I attend the entire sensorium (hands, feet, etc.) I give a bit more to the eyes - among other things, they can give away feints...

At least aubergine has a wife, and she seems to understand him.

I am loosing mine, or shall I say she do not want me.

Many tines you were stupid, the maps were stupid, she used this word "mapki" which was to indicate stupidity and childishness of them.

What is more I heard many times that you were all more important that she is.

I want to add the most important thing that, it happened so whether I was doing a map or not, whether I was using a forum or not. I mean I would understand it if for example I was in fron of pc for 12 hours and she was trying to talk to me. But it happened at any time, ther rest above.

And even if appreciated, well treated, beloved, attentioned, if she had bad mood here we go again.

I have heared about this book. Well with all the respect here the situation is much worse, it is not a simple quarrel, or hug me, or why did you stay at work longer again they pay you to little.

But thank you man.
