I think so, yes. The unknown in the form of mysterious explanations seems more acceptable, perhaps more interesting, than simply not knowing.
I shiver when I think about the horror to go down with a ship like that...or lying in the water, slowly freezing to death. Do you remember the Kursk 2 years ago? Awful.
EDIT: See you later, Tyb, and good night. Always nice to speak with you!

Yeah it should be fun, although not having a digital camera. I'll have to find her, almost missed Odie when we met. Had a bad habit of producing strange stares to anyone with long hair who walked past me. Was trying to work out if they were Odie or not.
That was pretty funny, in retrospect. Maybe I should have worn my hemp shirt, that would have given it away no worries. I have a rough idea of what she looks like BTW, so we should be able to find her okay.

Odie isn't a maniac well IRL he isn't
There goes my carefully nurtured SYM reputation...

@Tammy: I would guess Ode is not at all a luny but a really nice and reasonable person IRL, that's the impression I have of him

You could do that and say it was Ode's idea. That would be mean, yet funny.
Except that she knows I have the same sort of sleeping patterns as her, and am never awake before midday as a consequence...

Georgi is as sharp IRL as here
That should make for some good conversations, then

EDIT-I think Im going to say something just to annoy Ode, now that hes lurking:
Im a SLURR and Im proud of it!
No you're not.
You're just a wannabe SLURR, though you're more than welcome to join if you want.

You can't blow up a thread, although you

Although I wouldn't recommend it

I guess I can forgive you, this once.
@Fas-but this way you have them all in one place, if you blow up this thread who knows where they'll get to, they might even all come...to..the Rolling Thunder...
On second thoughts, do what you think best, Fas.
Let your conscience be your guide, oh anti-DF.

The story i am about to tell is the truth, when i say truth i infact mean a lie, if it is an entertaining lie then it is surely the truth, however the truth is still a lie. In fact aren't all lies in fact truth, no.

@ sleep I saw your location and thought maybe you are a fan of Ian M Banks?

Another one of the flock?
I have read every single one apart from The Business (IIRC) and one of the other Culture novels, my favourite is probably Innversions, it just really appeals to me, i also liked The Player of Games, i really enjoyed the whole tactics aspect, plus the way that Banks describes this complex games without giving us much indication how they play it
