otherwise the poor man would have nowhere to put his pencil
So Jen isn't coming along for the trip too????

Between all of Jen's attention and half of mine and David's, we should just be able to manage a Certain Baby.
And I have no idea what you might be implying. If anything.

Why nothing untoward of course, the thought that "pencil" might be some kind of euphemism would never occur to me...
-
Eeeew!

I’m about to climb on a plane and head to one of my favourite New Zealand cities. Please, if I know you but I’ve never seen your face before, do come up and introduce yourself, I’d love to meet you all in the flesh.
And, once again, if I may be so bold, if you are brave enough to go up and say hello, you will be meeting one of the sweetest people. EVAH.

Hope you're going to clear 90 minutes of quiet time on Sunday evening to catch The Waters of Mars. Just not fair that Lindsay Duncan has so much of the world's limited supply of awesome.

You don't even need to be brave. She's not that scary

Big, big love to whoever it is at Prime who is getting this stuff over so fast, and indeed at all.

It's true. I don't bite. Strangers. For free.

I'm so glad that mine is not the only mind that went there when reading about "Dr Haywood's pencil".
-
What filthy minds you all have. It's a traditional and perfectly sensible way to keep your writing implements warm, especially in a Chch winter. Means you never have to shell out for a heated pencil case to stop your fountain pens freezing up.
(NB that definition of pass/fail still doesn't make any sense to me).

Thanks for the public announcement message, Fräulein Hart. I had a dream (nightmare) last night that no-one turned up to these book launches.
In fact, I can already see myself blogging on the unfolding disaster: "We felt like killing ourselves", etc.
Bart: please try to drag your mind out of your underpants! I know that our nation's CRIs are a hotbed of steamy sex, but I hope you can keep some perspective, and come to realize that not all of us are the over-sexed scientists that you encounter in your day job. And no, I wasn't suggesting anything by my usage of the word 'come' in that sentence.
And furthermore, I think (hope) that Emma would choose something a little larger than a pencil if she was making a double-entendre. Perhaps a nuclear submarine or a Saturn V rocket.
-
David - I hope you don't mind, but I mentally parsed the penultimate sentence of your third paragraph as:
...but I hope you can keep some perspective, and can realize that not all of us are the over-sexed scientists that you come across in your day job.
-
Perhaps a nuclear submarine or a Saturn V rocket.
Or Thunderbird 1. Think about that the next time you spend two hours playing "Tracy Island".
Um. Okay, now I really am going to get on that plane.

Seem to be hitting the airwaves everywhere pretty damn quick -- ABC1 in Australia on December 6. Subscribers to BBC America have to wait until the 19th, but the lucky fuckers get 'The End of Time, Part 1' on Boxing Day. (Come on Prime, you don't want the Yanks showing us up!)

I'll be there.
David: Want me to bring rope just in case no one else turns up?...Oh silly me...you will already in Hell,,,,,,Wellington. :-)
I heard that Arty Bees buys second hand books. ....I wonder how much they will offer me for an author signed copy of some non stained RB book I got in the mail recently.......If I wait 'til after the hanging....

Huh? Emma is wearing underpants on her head??? Is that post operative thing?

Well I did spend half of yesterday helping our petunias reproduce...

Oh cool I was wondering what I was going to do tonight, BTW does anyone know where I can get a replacement T2 - my friend's children broke mine. Yes I did recognise it immediately during the geek quiz at the last Great Blend.
-
Crossing fingers for the Christchurch thing - I was going to be in Wellington tomorrow, as it happens, but instead I will be listening to forty-five other people talk about their medical summer school projects, which is unlikely to be nearly as interesting. Curses.
-

Several on Trademe at the moment, even a couple of the Islands.
-
Emma, David. Very best of luck today. I am sure you don't need it but best anyway. If you feel like putting one book each aside for me in Ak, I will buy them , honest :))
-
Same. Even buy yous a drink.
-
Hope the Book Thing is going well for you both. xx
-
Sigh. I think this evening in Parliament is going to be sadly lacking in the decorum front.
-
I was surprised how big David's one was. Emma's was more shinny.
Must ... resist ...
-
Book signing went very well. About to put pretty dress on and head to the Back Bencher
