Hey Aqua, we managed to miss extreme weather while we were visiting France and my Aunt was telling me the snow was pretty heavy in Alençon a couple of
times after we'd gone back to the UK, but I didn't realise it was so bad in some areas that you had to stay home from work. How often does that
happen?

It was 63 here today. I'm afraid the summer is going to be really hot again.
Hi there.

Had to re-instate the original factory settings on my laptop. Java has a serious security leak and a recent version got me a Trojan.
And through all of it, Gabriel Knight 3 still works.

where I live (Amiens, Picardie) it usually happens once a year in january or February/March, it
snows for one or two day and I have to stay home for two or three days until the snow has melted enough.

Having to stay home, I suppose that differs a bit per country and per snowfall. If out here, people are forced to stay at home due to snowfall,
politics usually get a lot over them because they "weren't prepared enough".

Well, it's the first day of spring and it's still snowing here. They never give you a day off in Germany for snow, though. We all have to buy winter
tyres with which you can drive through any snow or ice, unless there's a drift. Recently, on visiting my parents in France, I rented a car and it
didn't have winter tyres, even though it was a February. My parents say this is because it never used to snow as much in southern France, but they're
English. Is there any truth in their statement?

Meanwhile the Peregrines nearby have a hard time breeding their four eggs.

Snow is gone but it's still cold here. It'll be the coldest temp ever in March this weekend. Poor baby falcons.

it doesn't snow in the south of the country except in the region that is
called Massif central, about in the middle of the country, in the Pyrenean mountains, etc... the rest of the southern part of the country is usually
sunny.

Snow again! Fortunately it's all gone already except for some bits of grass. Good thing I bought some extra bird food.
They still have a lot of sunflower seeds and those grease balls, but the peanuts are gone.

Okay, I think I've proved my point so I'm sworn off Disco Boy, but the occasional friendly reminder not to take him off ignore will not be sneered at.
It's a shame (well, not that much) because he sometimes brings some interesting info about concerts to the forum.

I realized that I've been posting a bunch of crap over there and have pulled back on it.
The forecaster said we were going to get 2-4 inches of snow tonight, and they are going to be wrong. Maybe not even an inch.
Hi there.

I think the point about you Calvin is that nobody really knows who you are. I get that mostly you go there for a laugh and I've laughed at your jokes
often enough.
With me, I tend to say more about myself, because I'm planning on getting a band together to play live and once you're in the public eye, even in a
small way, I believe honesty is the best policy. I know, it's old fashioned. Also, I've worked as a teacher for more than 20 years, which is a fairly
public job, even if only locally, so I've become used to speaking my mind.
Back to you, you don't abuse your anonymity in my view. I'm not aware of you doing anything on the crap scale even close to that arsehole DB, so I
wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

Hmm, really? I think if somebody had been on the forum for a few years that they would know a few things about me. I run a private forum other than
the Unmoderated, and I usually talk more about personal things there. The Zappa Forum is way too public for me.

The zappa forum is a pain in the arse, period. You don't say that much about yourself on the Unmoderated. I've never visited your
other forum, I don't even know what it's about. You do joke around quite a lot, so it makes it difficult to untangle when you might just be talking
about yourself for real.

It's only an idea at the moment, I have to find appropriately
motivated personnel and that's not going to be easy. I've been tossing up the idea of doing a solo gig with synthesiser backup, or maybe just finding
one other musician and trying a duet. I haven't started advertising yet because I have a heap of work to catch up on at Uni.

It seems like I've scored a publication of one of my artworks.

My other forum is private, and any new members have to be voted in. Guest can't even look at it. It's really closed off. I guess I don't really
discuss much private stuff there either.
