I'm doing a big combined post as no doubt the news reader will crash when 
I try to send it and I don't want to reboot this machine too many times.

The newsfeed here is very bad - some of the stuff that has just arrived 
is over a week old so there will be loads I haven't seen yet.

*HUGS* to all, especially Edouard - I love you,

clare

Indeed a .sig is not a requirement for getting welcomed, who said it was?

yes for the last couple of months. In the last two months I have sat final
exams and gone through a major crisis in my emotional life. So I missed
a few newbies, I'm not superhuman you know. Give me a break, ok?

[Apologies for sounding negative but I'm feeling pretty down right now]

the new year seems to be bringing them out of the woodwork at Bristol Poly
(oops that University of West England (Bristol) I suppose - I'll never get
used to calling it that)
