| A new avatar and an apology | Gully Foyle | 7/18/11 8:45 PM | You may have noticed that I have been experimenting with a new avatar for the last week or so. It is an artist's impression of my fictional namesake from the cover of a paperback novel--Gully Foyle, the tiger in the night, the burning man, his face e |
| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Gaieus | 7/23/11 7:37 AM | Well, I am unlikely to have been affected, Gully. I am neither pregnant nor a woman as you know (and at my age, even if I were a woman, it would be unwise to get pregnant although it is amazing how advanced science is nowadays). FYI however: I use t |
| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Gully Foyle | 7/23/11 7:08 PM | Well that's astounding, Gaieus. I mean, what kind of coincidence is that? Did you realize that you've been using a picture of my character, Gully Foyle? Didn't you think it odd that he's got the word "Nomad" written on his forehead? (Of course, since |
| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Gaieus | 7/24/11 3:31 AM | "...Did you realize that you've been using a picture of my character, Gully Foyle?..."

| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Gully Foyle | 7/25/11 7:05 AM | Hmm. I'm not too sure about the origins of my people, although I am something of a nomad myself. As I am fond of saying, I change states every thirty years, whether I need to or not (although I think I'll give it a pass next time, when I'm ninety. As |
| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Gully Foyle | 7/25/11 10:40 AM | By the way, Anssi, I don't use expressions like LOL or <grin> or use emoticons, since apparently literate writers have been corresponding for centuries, using only the written word, without problem (it's the illiterate ones who have problems).

| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Anssi | 7/26/11 4:00 PM | I just had to make the observation. The Hungarian and Finnish (and Estonian) languages share the same structure and differ from most other European languages in not belonging to the Indoeuropean ("Aryan") group. The vocabularies are totally different |
| Re: A new avatar and an apology | Gaieus | 11/5/11 5:28 AM | Ah yes, wine... Otherwise at school we learnt a Finnish song starting something like "Kultani kukku kaokana kukku ajma Sajma rannalla" (I am not sure about my spelling).
