I once drifted a longshore.

well done sir! I would like to propose a toast to the elimination of coastlines, wherever they may be.

@Frogus: Quite a nice pic of Dottie, horrible one of me

Just wait for my revenge...I went straight from the airport to the lab, but as soon as I come home with my little digital camera...

Don't do it, nematode!

I know terrible things

and you look beautiful....

@Frogus: Unfortunately for me you look very sweet at the pictures as far as I can see on the display, so I'm afraid I'm not really having a good situation for negotiation...

Hope you had a good journey back home!

We went back to hotel after seeing you, then I met some other non-SYMian friends yesterday and sent Dottie off to Camden

It was definately in my top ten bus journeys of the week

I could have seen that coming - but have you checked where your credit card is?

@Frogus: Well, hopefully you were at least spared the pleasure of once again standing beside the motor way waiting for them to fix the engine

I know where my credit card is now....however, I'm not sure where it was between 3 - 9 pm yesterday

If you're serious, consider calling your credit card company and explain the situation to them. They should be able to see whether any purchases were made during that time using your number. At least, that's the way it works in the US. Not that I mean to tell you how to handle your own affairs, but I know people who have done this.

Thanks for the consideration Fable, but I'm only joking

The story was that when Dottie and I came to the airport (in Stockholm) it turned out the little git had an invalid passport - it was too old and he hadn't thought about checking it

So he had to change his flight to a later one in order to get a new temporary passport, whereas I had to leave with the scheduled flight since we were supposed to meet Ysh and she was going to pick us up at the airport. So I went away and I also rang my husband in order to assure Dottie would have assistance and possibly financial support for rebooking his ticket (I didn't know how much money he had brought with him, nor how much it would be to change the booking). However, when he finally arrived at London Heathrow a few hours later he told me the Scandinavian airlines had happily drawn the new ticket from my credit card

(I had booked both tickets on that card previously).

So now Dottie is going to make coffee for me and clean my house all summer....

And word has it that Dottie is not his real name. I hope the CIA are listening.

Last I heard, his real name was Gummo "El Dottio" Guevara, first cousin to the more famous (and organized) Che. Of course, this is just a rumor; still, it does explain many things.

It does - like his hallucinations of Soviet flags coming out of the London pavement

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Wed May 28, 2003 11:26 am

He was acting very strange during the whole time we spent in London...for instance, he claimed he got lost on the way between Charing Cross tube station and the Thames

I now posted a picture from Hyde Park, Frogus looks fab on it

Dottie looks like he wants to hide, but he usually wants to, so no surprise there

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Wed May 28, 2003 11:29 am

Well he managed to get "lost" on a direct flight from Stockholm to London so that doesn't surprise me at all

And what is with the hallucinations?

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Wed May 28, 2003 11:56 am

I should have realized where things were heading when he sent an SMS telling me he was in Norway...

I'm not sure what it's really about with his hallucinations, I only know he reported seeing Soviet flags on the pavement when I and Frogus saw only pavestones...

Hmmm...ok...sleep deprivation? stress?

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Wed May 28, 2003 3:59 pm

@Ysh: No, he is always like that

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Wed May 28, 2003 4:04 pm

LOL! he is a darling

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Wed May 28, 2003 4:10 pm

Yes indeed

He sends his best to you btw (he is here right now, recreating himself after the London experiences

).

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Wed May 28, 2003 4:14 pm

Aw! give him a spikey hug from me

LMAO!! recreating himself?

you are not telling me he lost his identity *eek* there have been some strange things lost on the London Underground before, including false legs and even coffins...but Dottie?
