Wow.

Returning to an earlier thread, lucky for him he's a guy.

Not only because it makes singing tenor a whole lot easier, but a  
woman who was equally attractive and equally talented wouldn't stand  
a snowball's chance in hell.

Most unlikely tenor of all

2007-06-13 Thread Jim Sharkey

Apparently, Britain really does have talent...

I just had to share, because if you look at this guy, you'd expect him to be a 
guy you'd share a pint with at the pub, maybe help you out with some plumbing, 
something like that.  Not what you get, and the expressions on everyone's faces 
are worth it alone.

Weekly Chat Reminder

2007-06-13 Thread William T Goodall

As Steve said,

"The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over six
years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set
up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established
a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat
technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but
the chat goes on... and we want more recruits!

Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've
been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined
today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less
politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion.
We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly...
-(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown.

The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM
Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time.
There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight
hours after the start time.

If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to
do is send your web browser to:

  http://wtgab.demon.co.uk/~brinl/mud/

..And you can connect directly from William's new web
interface!

My instruction page tells you how to log on, and how to talk
when you get in:

  http://www.brin-l.org/brinmud.html

It also gives a list of commands to use when you're in there.
In addition, it tells you how to connect through a MUD client,
which is more complicated to set up initially, but easier and
more reliable than the web interface once you do get it set up."
