I have returned for a 3rd time!

[Ronja]

As I was gone pretty much the same period as you (and also due to study pressure), I'll try to remember what has happened (not necessarily changed):
-The "Kill this" thread is still alive, at least barely
-There is some hope that the "Swanley library" thread will not be needed for too long anymore, and we could be seeing a lot more of the Beermaster in the future.
-CES and sandinista are still at it, in various threads. Seth brings some variation to these, at times.
-Ayaan is working hard and 'Zilla is, if possible, more wolfish than ever.
-Bella is still gorgeous, Eva still drop-down sexy
-Twoflower has graduated and plans to join the Squid in Scotland ASAP after the July Train Wreck
-Pappa and Rachel are still revoltingly lovey-dovey
-TA is but a shadow of his former self
-Tigger is still bouncy, klr still throws cynical comments about organization culture and management
-Mai's dog was ill, but is already much better. JimC's cat likewise.
-Feck's dog has had some "authority issues"
-at least Woodbutcher and Mysturji have had surgery recently
-AshtonBlack managed to lure his sweet CakeOrDeath here, with some "friendly persuasion help" from the rest of us. They've found a really nice house, too. There are pics. I'm quite envious.
-XC got to see Sir Patrick Stewart as Shylock - I'm DOUBLE envious.
-Ironclad turned his Facebook agony into a right farce, for the great merriment of the unwashed masses (cheese and circus, you know)
-Gallstones got a Letter to the Editor published in a local rag - good one, too (the letter - don't know about the rag)
-beige has gotten a cool industrial placement, to work on embedded systems - he sounds exited about it
-I passed my last B.Sc. course, and only need to finish my thesis to graduate
-GFL's blog was mentioned both by Pharyngula and the BBC
-devogue is going to live in New Zealand (no joke, for real - there's a thread)

Have to stop - I get the "too many smileys" warning already. Enjoy digging for the rest of the dirt (I'm sure I've forgotten something). There's some on various relatives of various members, at least - a Very Useful Thread for bitching about them was created by Bella.

And welcome back!

Thank you all.
Particularly Ronja for posting her forum minutes for me I feel informed

Bravo, Ronja

And I'm still writing short stories that no one reads, but that's okay because I'll be famous once I've died for sure I can't wait
