Rocks and food

has the chance to vote and decide on the logo that will be used to declare
the Harry Potter for Grown Ups Internet presence."

John: "::Moderating Rock #47 rolls threateningly towards the cute little
owl:: The Rock population of HPFGU also wants voting rights. STONE (STOp
Neolithic-rock Exclusion), the pro-Rock action committee, is lobbying the
Ministry of Magic as we speak for equal rights for Rocks. The public arm of
STONE, PEBBLE (PEople for a Bigger and Better Life for Everyrock), is
launching a campaign from their new website, www.pebble.org. Please join
today and help stop anti-Rock discrimination. Ensure a better future for
everyone, both the geologically-enhanced and the geologically-challenged.

Under sections 86 of the Wizarding Code for Discussion Group Voting
Practises it clearly states, as you are doubtless aware, that rocks are
only eligible to vote if they are in possession of certificate TRKF894c and
are accompanied by an appropriately authorized person. Due to this limited
voting availability it was, and the need for an officially approved person
to be present, it is obviously unwise, due to making the list stretch to
658539 pages if one does so, to list all those eligible to vote. Hence your
type, and some others, was not mentioned in the non-exhaustive list of
those eligible to vote. This is in keeping with sub section iii of section
65 of the above mentioned code.

If you wish to take this matter further then I suggest you get in contact
with the Society for Mutually Agreed Selectorial Habits And LiberaL Rules
Obviously Conceived by Kaleidoscopic Souls. They will be happy to discuss
the WCDGVP's.



Amanda: "John, what do you do? Do you do anything all day but think of this
stuff?"

John: "::looks pointedly at Amanda's glass house::
I find that email is the best and least damaging form of procrastination
when writing (or rather, trying not to write) essays. Mental activity --
such as thinking up acronyms and Tom Swifties -- is even more preferable.
Hey, I'm a student. We're not *supposed* to work..."

Students don't work. It is just not a possible option.



Simon: "Had chocolate cake last week. It is amazing how many people visit
when I have some to be eaten."
Ben: "You made a chocolate cake and didn't send me any? How could you?
Cruel boy."

Parents made it, and gave it to me when they visited.


Pigwidgeon: "Had chocolate gateaux for pudding this evening. Can't say that
Clive's roast was up to much though. Think he has got bored with this
cooking lark"
Ben: "Not that you liked roasts anyway... the brocolli is best avoided, he
always had a nasty tendancy to cook it 'til it reached that
melt-in-the-mouth consistency..."

Cauliflower was undercooked, meat was a little tough and the potatoes were
as bad as they always are when I go for roast. And you are right in saying
that I do not really like roast, but was hungry and had no food to cook.


Did pizzas tonight. Made to perfection, even if I do say so myself.
Sainsbury's was being annoying. Apparently they had no mozzarella because
of the foot and mouth crisis. Decent explanations for that excuse would be
appreciated. I could not find any. Had to then go back to where I had just
come from to get the cheese. Annoying - it meant I was wandering around
Oxford for 30 minutes when I wanted to sit down and eat lunch.
