Moby and Daisy running a booze can in the Heartbreak Hotel. Dejected dames all around.Quote:

A missing Squid. Y'know, I'll give you television.. 'll give you eyes of blue ... I'll give you a Squid who wanted to rule the world. Missing Petronella twins.
Mir P. lost somewhere in the dark forest of the savage chickadees.
Wee Tommy and his new sidekick Bob just starting on a quest to find Mr. P.
Ahab, convinced that Madame Butterfly has been tossing Wee Tommy's caber, left with his peg leg stuck through the floor of the Well Hello There Sailor interior design shop.
Chi-Ken tied up in Ahab's closet with tin foil over his head.
Cinder-Daphne wondering about her love life or lack thereof. Also wondering about the inspector who morphed into Santa and then suddenly disappeared. Also wondering about the weird angel, claiming to be a minor Norse diety, and a rather nasty one at that. Also wondering about the slightly demented looking blue vacuum appliance.
And this is only to name a few of the dangling threads...
There is so much we are left with.
"Pick a thread any thread......," said Madame Butterfly trying to bring her embroidery class to order.

Oh Housie..Boy, you do make me laugh and how you remember all the plots and lost plots, I will never know.
As I'm soon to Reinstall Windows and give my PC it's annual spring clean, I don't know if I'll ever return .................................?
But we live in hope, so what did happen to all these endless tails?
Little Bev's eyes widened in amazement. She clutched her Pooh bear tightly and pulled the covers up so that only her saucer-eyes were peering out from beneath her tousled hair.
"Ooooh, Auntie Mags," she said, "What a story! I don't think it was Wind in the Willows, and I don't think Mommy and Daddy would approve. You haven't gone off your medications, again, have you?"
Auntie Mags smiled sweetly. "No, deary," she replied, closing a large folio book. "It was an interpretive, post-modern reading, one free from the hegemony of bourgeois story grammar, a theoretical Deconstructionist analysis revealing Grahme's ironic revolutionary subtext ... the decadent, oppresive upper classes exposed as stupid inbred toads."
Little Bev looked frightened and worried. She searched desperately in the bedsheets for the comfort of her Margaret Thatcher poseable action figure, but comfort could not be found.
Suddenly there was a squeaking of small plastic casters, and then in the doorway across the room there appeared a loopy-looking blue vacuum appliance.
Auntie Mags started. Little Bev screamed. And then.......

..and then ... I spent two hours reinstalling windows and something went wrong so had to start again ... then although I'd done a full backup onto external hard drive, which is where I keep my daily backups .. I didn't do a full backup onto external disks and USB flash drives, etc ... and blow me down, I don't know what I did, but external hard drive is now caput and lost all of this week's data .. and I intended making C drive 40gig and D drive 40gig but somehow C drive is now 60gig and D drive, which is now a K drive is 20 gig ...... so now I've reinstalled everything, yes everything, I think I need to start again ... and have ordered a new external drive off ebay, that will probably go caput too.
I did say I was a retired computer tech ... I've done this whole process three previous years and had no problems ... am just having a bad hair WEEK ... oh give me the quill pen of the Prehistiric Planet?

NooNoo...
NooNoo had been lost in lineland, sorted the pollution problem in the land of the crags, had even been to the underwhere...finally returning to the thread, confused and bewildered.
Who named this child Bev? Why was she screaming? What did Auntie Mags start?
That's quite alright, neither do I, any more. After many decades of not using it, all of the French I knew has gone away. So, I fall back on my native Spanish.Quote:

Glad to hear you've resolved your pesky partition problem with the external. And now, I must back to my office and official duties! These past months have been hellishly busy for me! :devil:
Thanks El Squid, I no speaka da Spanish either .. and having sorted the external, having problems with the internal now ... especially as after a Scrape and Polish at Dentist, I swallowed a black amalgum mercury filling last night at teatime ... ring NHS Direct, she said you'll be fine, as long as you keep breathing ... ring a neighbour ... keep my keys overnight, you never know what might happen ... back to Dentist .. not much tooth left .. you'll have to have it out ... oh give me computer problems any day .......................................
Anyway, does anyone know where we were in this scintillating, fascinating, exciting, meandering tail ? Or was that tale ?
House Island, our Illustrious Literrati summarized the Short Attention Span Saga rather succinctly:a rather dishevelled, distacted-looking squid came in through the bathroom window, muttering to itself as it wrung its tentacles in a woeful display of despair. Halfway into Little Bev's bedroom, the self-absorbed cephalopod noticed Auntie Mags and Little Bev, letting out a startled yip, before turning its large saucerlike eyes on the loopy-looking blue vacuum appliance.Quote:

After a brief moment of silent disbelief...
NooNoo swung into action with her SP catchcard - I need a squid to complete the collection on Super Paper Mario - hold still this won't hurt a bit.... The card engulfed squid and began to spin...
.. and the Squid let out a squeal of glee, "Wii!"
Meantime, back at the Keep, Wee Tommy strapped on his trusty Claymore and shoved a pair of wicked Dirks into the waistband of his Battle Kilt, girding himself for the Quest to Find Mr. P. Bob, on the other hand, wore a glove, whilst he busied himself emptying a bottle of Lochan Ora. The fire in the hearth snapped and popped ominously.
