I was off house-hunting (with somewhat mixed success). I'll clear the

Well, you sort of confessed that you'd been a goth in a.f.w a few
weeks ago. Strange, though, noone commented on my remark that pointed
it out. I might've managed to get the distribution set wrong, I guess.

*looks at map* Bzzzzt. Wrong. No points, you're out for the next round.
Budel is hardly .nl. It is, so to say, in the wrong hemisphere of .nl.
Even the Netherlands Antilles[1] are more .nl than Budel.

I will never fathom the point of making vegetarian meat substitutes.
Especially ones *flavored* like meat. It strikes me as absurd.

You can drive 80 miles in a stright line from some places in London and
still be in London, none of this "metropolitan area" bollocks. Yeah London
is stupidly big but we have no urge to spend all our time is silly metal
boxes so we dont drive accross it for fun.

While I regularly get people stopping in Trumpington Street to ask me
how to get to some random place about a hundred yards away, who start
to boggle by the time I've been describing the necessary route for about
five minutes, I think the best was the guy (in a car) just outside the
Bun Shop who wanted to know how to get to the Cambridge Arms.
[ info for those who haven't experienced Cambridge - these two pubs are
about twenty yards apart, but there's a one way section of road
in the wrong direction immediately between them ]
"Well, you head off right, down to the end, turn right onto Jesus Lane, and
keep going until you get to a big roundabout, take the third exit onto Short
Street (ho ho), down to the end, turn left, go straight through the first
traffic lights, past Parker's Piece, turn right at the next traffic lights,
past Parker's Piece, turn right at the next big junction, go right down
Regent Street for about half a mile, until you get to a place where the main
road bends sharp right but there's another bit that goes straight on, go
straight on there, down to the Lloyds bank, and head down the right hand
side of it, down to the end of that road, sharp right and you're there.
<pause>
Or you could go through that no entry sign just there."

Hence the cat petting services.

In the absence of bofh.egotists, I guess that's the best place for

How remiss of them. Obvuiously these peopl haven't yet understood their
relationship with their cats.

This is, of course, the correct point of view.

Erm, that wasn't quite what I meant, although Comparisons Have Been Made
in the past.
References from people who've petted me in the past are availble from
many of the denizens (somehow this word seems appropriate) of bofh.*
Come to think of it, you could ask yourself for a reference, couldn't
you?

I know where Scotland, Ireland and Norway are on a map, but I know
I'll fail on a lot of other countries. So?
I got a 'puter as kid (as a lot of others here I presume), after that
my studies in classes that didn't interest me went straight downhill
from bad to hopeless.
And, well, I didn't get this job due to my very detailed knowledge
about Kiruna and near by areas. ;>

Obviously not. You're not a rocket scientist and *everyone* knows that
only rocket scientists need to know the geography of Kiruna. Why?
Simple, Kiruna has Sweden's (AFAIK) only rocket launch site. At least
the only civilian lauch site...
What more is there in Kiruna? A mine. Or maybe a shitload of mines.
And reindeer.
