Newsgroup Highlights week ending 4 February 2005
quiet week over there as usual. Luckily two Newsgroupers celebrated their 39th birthday which created something to read about at least
Bill Mulrooney usefully highlighted the sale of tickets for the Northampton Mass concert on October 20th and it is to be hoped that the box office have not sold the front row centre seats to too many fans!!
Wayne Francis had the latest tour details on his site very quickly and uploaded his February "commentary" in a very timely fashion
see the "News" page at:- http://www.lightfoot.ca/news.htm
I wanted to try to append something to my own very first Newsgroup posting in November 1997 (a reply to Jenney) at:- http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...e78e8b091a03c9
but as there was no reply link on that old page it would not have worked

Those of us chatting regularly would appreciate a few new chattering typists
9PM EST tonight and every Friday at http://www.chatlink.notlong.com

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of the English language,in which your house can simultaneously burn up and burn down, in which you fill a form by filling out a form,in which you add up a column of figures by adding them down and in which your alarm clock goes off by going on, and where you must chop a tree down before chopping it up. need I say more??
