The Octagon Bar: [Insert Whatever Ewen Would Have Called It Here]

[nurse chrissi]

I saw the story of Alan's sig - it is very cute

 

[ewen]

I'll find the story. The video itself is the sweetest thing. An orphaned baby hippo has been adopted by a hundred year old turtle. The hippo is being affectionate!

well the sig gives the impression that the hippo is breaking the tortoises neck....and i think it's pretty horrible

 

[pax]

?



for what? in scotland 'cheers' is for 'thanks'

Dunno.

 

[U2democrat]

hey ewen, is it true that in scotland a burp is considered a compliment? if so i MUST go there!

 

[A_Wanderer]

Isn't that eskimos - oh sorry - inuits

 

[starsgoblue]

well the sig gives the impression that the hippo is breaking the tortoises neck....and i think it's pretty horrible

I agree...it made my stomach flip flop. I've hear about that story and I think it's sweet---that's not what it seemed like from your sig though... Just saying....

 

[U2democrat]

yes you better be PC mister.

 

[starsgoblue]

hey ewen, is it true that in scotland a burp is considered a compliment? if so i MUST go there!

It is in Japan.

 

[U2democrat]

ooooh japan here i come!

 

[lauren430]

I'll be there next year

 

[ewen]

a burp isn't a compliment in scotland! where did you hear that rubbish?

 

[U2democrat]

i don't know.......

 

[Chizip]

 

[U2democrat]

the bar is going to be closed soon....

 

[A_Wanderer]

33 pages for goodness sake, I would like to keep track a little easier.

 

[verte76]

It can be opened again.

 

[lauren430]

it has been busy today

 

[starsgoblue]

But there will be a brand new one, U2Dem....it's ok, love.

 

[U2democrat]

it's difficult. if you're away for 5 minutes at a busy time you have to catch up on alot!

 

[U2democrat]

oooooo whoever makes a new one should have "hose" in the title!

 

[nurse chrissi]

Did you guys see the still over in the NRJ award thread in PLEBA - very interesting

 

[U2democrat]

500...

 

[lauren430]

Ewen do you want to make the new one since you were going to last time?

 

[pax]

I was saying this to Dave last night...the "problem" (I mean, it's not really a problem, it's great!) is that we now have so many international posters (plus a few insomniacs) frequenting the bar, so there's action 24 hours a day. It's harder to keep up when there's almost ALWAYS folks in here posting away.

Maybe I'll let this bar run to 600, though I doubt it will make a difference. And if I go offline, some other mod will probably close it, because we are supposed to close after 500.

 

[lauren430]

I'll be back in the next bar folks, I'm going to work out...see you later

 

[ewen]

that would be great, can i?

 

[U2democrat]

600

 

[pax]

Yes you can, sweetie!!!
