Welcome to the Watch, Dura Fairflank!

To reiterate what the good folk above have said: don't be shy, join in ongoing threads, resuscitate old ones, start new ones. And when you've had your fill of SRD-related material check out the other stuff we do really well here: General Sci-fi and Fantasy, writing and literature, philosophy and spirituality in The Close, politics and current affairs in the 'Tank, fun and games in Mallory's, as well as sports, cooking, music, role-playing, comics and so on.

This is a really great place to come and talk about SRD's work and an even better place to stay and get to know the excellent people that it has drawn together.

Be Welcome and True!

u.

Alright, dammit, I'm sick of the failure of all you greeters! None of you ever deigns to mention the Loresraat.
--[[Vraith]]--
I'm amazed that Watchers like you
can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a Greeter among you
who knows or cares if Loresraaters come or go!

--[[Watchpostles]]--
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong!
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong!
How can you say that? How can you say that?

--[[Vraith]]--
NOT ONE NOT ONE OF YOU!

WHERE KNOWLEDGE MEETS NEWS MEETS IMAGINATION

--[[Ussi Watchdalene]]--
--(reprise, fadeout)--

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
problems that upset you,
OH,
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine...
And it's cool, and the postings' sweet...
for the fire in your head and feet...
close your eyes and relax, think of nothing tonight


Oh,...and Greetings, Dura.

Welcome aboard Dura. :D We're all quite mad here. ;)

Vraith...what have we said about frothing where the new members can see you? :lol: No wonder we scare most of 'em off. ;)

I live in the UK. As there're 4 kingdoms that make up the Union we therefore only have 3 borders each ... two of which I have still to cross. It was in one of these kingdoms that I once had friends, and having crossed the North border Southwards I now blissfully enjoy a very green and pleasant hermetic lifestyle.

I do hope this has shed some light on your query.

I'm UK'er as well Dura, so you're not entierly alone here [though we are pretty well outnumbered]. Don't worry about our 'western' friends though - they're pretty tame [with a few notable exceptions :lol: ].

You have entirely forgotten the Amazon barbarians of Ultima Thule, who represent a species of their own. No common definitions of sanity or irregularity apply to them.

A veritable eruction of square brackets and colour (and light opera too! 8O ) Frothing doesn't even come close to describing it.

*sigh* Back to the drawing board and another increase in Vraith's meds :biggrin:

P.S. Vraith, I'll try to remember the Loresraat next time!

Ha, seeing you say that reminded me that some of us were never really the new guy (or gal, as the case may be) on this incarnation of the forum. :)
