morning all

pm when you have the answer

The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

So where is Donna today?

[hiwaygal]

So where is Donna today?

she mentioned something about a seduction class?:confused3 :rolleyes1 ;)

[MadScouser]

I'm getting confused by timezones

My laptop tells me it's 6.50pm, my watch says 1.50pm. :confused3

[crcormier]

Quiet day here. How's Toronto, Scousey?

[MadScouser]

Course is slow - hence why the occasional post.

TRO isn't bad though - hoping to get either hockey or basketball (or even both) tickets

Have fun, eh?

[alabamaalan]

Wow, I knew I was arriving late, but I figured y'all would be a bit further along.

Then again, a quick glimpse at the riddle itself makes me think I may need to do a bit of..umm...er...research.

[brightspark]

Good evening all! This is a slow riddle day, but I have sent my pm.
Scouse hope you are having a good day out there! Believe it or not I have CLEARED my desk!!!! Sun is shining here (well it was til it went down)...

[brightspark]

[alabamaalan]

[brightspark]

Hey, I always knew that working from home would be good practice for something... now I know what... talking to myself!!

Good grief.

If I go away on more trips, who knows what else may happen !

[brightspark]

Why is it that one of us is away the other one goes mad on housework? Maybe we should get 2 houses...

[brightspark]

[brightspark]

Or maybe I am...

Well I better go. I hope that my fun picture up there comes back.. it seems to be coming and going as it pleases. Oh well. See you all tomorrow!

[alabamaalan]

Sorry Sparkles :)

I didn't realize I left you mumbling incoherently to yourself ;)

Or was it house hunting?

[brightspark]

I can't believe I've been away an hour and No-one has posted... I'm gonna have to sack the postman...

Been house hunting... but didn't manage to catch one

[brightspark]

Sorry Sparkles :)

I didn't realize I left you mumbling incoherently to yourself ;)



Yeah... I even resorted to posting a thread about nail varnish on the UK community board...:scared1:

[brightspark]

It's gonna be hard getting to the hooty tonight
No help from scouse.. the toronto boys have confiscated his laptop!!

[alabamaalan]

No no, that was grouse hunting...I said house hunting.

Or is it scouse hunting? :eek:

[brightspark]

ah.. ok house hunting!http://www.offthemarkcartoons.com/cartoons/1999-07-22.gif

[brightspark]

It won't be scouse hunting... I know where he is! Well I have a vague idea of the geography - North of both of us!

[alabamaalan]

ah.. ok house hunting!http://www.offthemarkcartoons.com/cartoons/1999-07-22.gif

Well ain't that the dam truth?

Sometimes when it comes to building, a person may bite off more than they can chew.

[brightspark]

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Coming on here is good for my health... I laugh so much. Except of course when I'm talking to myself - which of course isn't such a sign of being in good health! ;)

[brightspark]

Alabam-man your profile isn't very exciting...

[brightspark]

Well I'm going to bed, as it's 11pm over here... chat to y'all tomorrow. Y'all come back and see us again soon (attempt at southern accent for y'all in honour of alabam-man actually talking to me :goodvibes )

[alabamaalan]

Alabam-man your profile isn't very exciting...

Stalker!

But then again, what should I expect from someone who so blatently posts beaver shots on the riddle.


You know..animal exploitation and that sort of thing.

I'm heading home, so happy hootying!

[L107ANGEL]

:lmao: :lmao:

[brightspark]

Do they only allow one person to be on the riddle with me at a time?:confused:

Sorry Sparks I was busy most of the day! :hug:

[brightspark]

Hi Angel, how are you? Maybe you can help me... what colour toe nail varnish do you wear to a weddding where you are wearing a bright turquoise dress?

[brightspark]

Sorry Sparks I was busy most of the day! :hug:

Fair enough... I can't believe that I spent a whole evening talking to myself when I could have been watching Remington Steele on DVD.. or Scarecrow and Mrs King... Oh well. :confused3

[brightspark]

Well I ought to go to bed.. but have had an idea... I'll take the laptop with me...

[celerystalker]

Fair enough... I can't believe that I spent a whole evening talking to myself when I could have been watching Remington Steele on DVD.. or Scarecrow and Mrs King... Oh well. :confused3

I don't know you, but I love you! I love Remington Steele! And you wear pink polish with turquoise. Duh.

Does anyone have a mint? I'm confused.

[L107ANGEL]

Hi Angel, how are you? Maybe you can help me... what colour toe nail varnish do you wear to a weddding where you are wearing a bright turquoise dress?

I would say a pale biege :confused3

[brightspark]

I don't know you, but I love you! I love Remington Steele! And you wear pink polish with turquoise. Duh.

Does anyone have a mint? I'm confused.

Sorry for not knowing about the nail polish... I'm not too girlie - but have new shoes for the occassion which are going to show off my toes. Should it be pale pink or bright?

Remington Steele is just so awesome... they just brought out season 1 on DVD over here, I got it last week. Have never seen more than about 2/3rd of the first series, so very excited waiting for more to come out.

[celerystalker]

Angel - you're the best! Thanks for the mint.

Sparky - I was just kidding. I'm not very girly either. Don't trust me with fashion advice.

[brightspark]

Ah a mint... well don't try too hard to figure it out... it's EEEEasy. Although can undrstand why you would feel that you ar missing somthing whn you look at the riddl

[L107ANGEL]

I still say beige!

[brightspark]

Hmm I def don't have any beige nail polish... in fact dont know that I've ever seen anyone wearing beige polish... trying to picture it

[L107ANGEL]

Hmm I def don't have any beige nail polish... in fact dont know that I've ever seen anyone wearing beige polish... trying to picture it

Think of a more "natural" looking polish, almost nude but with a tan!

[brightspark]

Stalker!



I thought this was aimed at me... but was it a secret summons... as suddenly a celery stalker appears :confused3

[brightspark]

Think of a more "natural" looking polish, almost nude but with a tan!

Look, no offence, but I'm not going to the wedding nude! :eek:

[celerystalker]

Yes, Alabama alan and I have secret signals. I will now summon him.

Yo! I need someone to cut in!

[brightspark]

:rotfl: :rotfl:
Well I've made it as far as to be sitting on my bed! Will I actually switch this thing off before midnight? This is the question.

[L107ANGEL]

Hellno!! Stay with me!

[brightspark]

You reckon I should stay huh? I'd like some good reasons...

[brightspark]

http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/assets/product/0618605711.gif

[brightspark]

Well I'm not sure I'm going to carry on keeping the riddle alive. Even if we get up near the hooty, I'm sure that there is someone out there (grammy) lurking and waiting to swoop..

[L107ANGEL]

You are home alone and I entertain you :confused3 That just makes me sound cheap huh ;)

[brightspark]

You are home alone and I entertain you :confused3 That just makes me sound cheap huh ;)

;) I think if you talk to Scouse he will tell you I'm definately not cheap! Can be very expensive. Don't think you should sell yourself too cheaply! Are you going to be on ebay?

[brightspark]

I really am going this time... it's after midnight and I need my beauty sleep. Have a good evening. See you tomorrow xx
