*GRIN*

Sorry couldn't resist ;P

See I was mostly thinking...oooh two geekdoms at once...tempting...

[lucian-albrecht.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I'm jealous too. Was it very lovely indeed?

[choccoweeble]

I was very marvelously fantastically lovely, but i had to beg and was only allow inside the compound doing about 10mph.

I can juggle and cross my legs behind my head

At the same time?

Also, hating Margaret Thatcher is perfectly to be expected of someone brought up in the North during the eighties. Please feel free to join my in my celebratory chorus of "Ding Dong, the witch is dead" when the old hag finally croaks.

[choccoweeble]

Haven't tried both at the same time, but I might be able to.

And I will most certainly join in with that.

Hi, my name is Timothy Tang and I have just completed the book, "Real answers to The Meaning of Life and finding Happiness".

Many people feel that the interpretation to The Meaning of Life question is too subjective to have any definite objective answer but I have managed to formulate a real and objective answer to the ultimate question of human existence.

I have made a blog that introduces the book. Do check it out.

Cool! :) I so enjoyed this list - I'm thinking of doing one myself but don't think I can pull it off :S
Thanks for the grin :D
