Merderer....*LOL* Yes, I like Wanderu a lot more. We're, like, the new Brangelina, except without all those kids.

Wanderu sounds Japanese, which is good.
Whereas Merderer sounds... well... shitty

Called both the Belgian and American Embassies in Korea for some information....Totally useless. Got hung up on twice and transferred about a billion times.

Ugh.

I'm currently waiting up for the US stock market to open at 12:30 am my time, because I have NFI which way it's going to head today and a lot of open positions. Worth losing a little sleep to protect my capital when Greenspan has opened his big mouth and tipped a recession.

Lets hear it for information lines!

Woot!

Who's with me?

Anyone?

ooh, is that tumbleweed?

I hear crickets.

Meru : at least you managed to get someone on the phone.

The Canadian embassy in Paris does not have a public phone line.
Just a machine telling you to use their website.

Automated voice mail...

I hate it with the fire of one thousand suns.

In other news, I remembered today that it must be a good ten, eleven years since I last had golden syrup.

Will rectify that tomorrow.

Ooo, and damper.

Oh god. I haven't had golden syrup and damper since I got chucked out of left Girl Guides.

I didn't know what golden syrup was until you mentioned it.

Praise google!

I saw that, he rarely says things by accident. I wonder what he is doing? Retail figures are bad this season too.

You need to go there wearing a balaclava and tell them you mean business.

Well, for the American embassy anyway.

Tell them Wanderu will be heard!

Made rum balls and brought them into work. Gonna be a quiet afternoon, after a few of those babies. Trying to work in as many balls jokes as I can, too.

You have rum balls....

I like rum balls

(to be spoken in bad middle-eastern accent ala DurkaDurkastan.)

These are a different recipe. No cocoa powder in them, but tasty none the less. And no DNA in them either!

I thought that was the Iranian Embassy.

In London.

Meru, Cat and Wanderer, good idea. I hope it all works out for the three of you. You certainly seem well suited. And if Belgium makes difficulties, you can always move to London, where the magic began.

The beer in London, unfortunately, would kill Wanderer. As would the chocolate.
