(That reminds me of a distantly remembered thing of kids TV - anyone remember chocka block? Chocka-girl, checking in!)
Wow, is this thread *still* going? I am truly impressed, not to mentioned intensely caffeinated through staying up to read it all(I can't stay up past midnight without strong tea on an intraveinous drip). I'm now calming down with a camomile, vanilla and honey.
There've been some interesting developments since I last popped in...
My cup of tea: A cup of tea. Why needlessly complicate the matter?
Heinlein: Really enjoyed 'All You Zombies' and 'By His Bootstraps' (though for a PhD student in mathematical, scientific and philosophical aspects of time the protagonist of that one was remarkably slow on the uptake), but couldn't get through the first section of 'The Man Who Sold the Moon' - too much Big Boys talking Business and little nagging wives who quite unfairly accuse their husbands of the heinous crime of ""being up to something"" when they were only quite innocently planninig to sell the family home to finance a Moon voyage.
Must go sleep now, up tomorrow early-ish, long live the tea thread,
