    Last 8 threads - 23 out of the last 35.

    1) Do you have a job?

    2) Are they hiring?

    Keep finding those interesting topics.
     
  2. "Job" ???

    Well, I asked you the same thing and a few other related questions - but although I am a bean counter as is Mr Ruhl, I thought that a private email may do the trick - but I didn't even get the one word!!!

    So how do you get the time [ please don't give it up - you are like a ferrett!], or are you one of those 'help desk' types like we have at this university who never get asked to help?

    Perhaps the self-proclaimed blatherskite (he has a new profile) is working up to some extravaganza for his first anniversary on this board tomorrow, November 19th.

    Intriguingly (at least for he who wonders who are all these participants, and who are their people), what seems to be Gert's first-ever post (11/25/01) is probably one of his most personally revealing.

    I realize that one reason this forum full of people lurking side by side, but unseeing, so intrigues me is because it is comparable to the almost unbearably poignant final scene in Pullman's glorious Dark Materials trilogy, when the two young lovers share a bench in Oxford's Botanic Garden, but they are in different worlds and cannot see one another.
     
  5. I got the "blatherskite" from a post of yours on AED, John. And I liked it so much that I took it for my own. (Though I was not the one whom you addressed with this moniker.)

    The extravaganza tomorrow will be the Leonid shower. But from my "profile" it appears that my 1 year anniversary will be Nov 20.

    Personally revealing post? Hmmm...

    Sex???

    We don't even know Gert's sex - male or female ...or it may just be taken from an instruction from his/her father when he/she was a kid ' ...gert your ass over here...'

    Sex from another perspective? - unless he/she is into DIY, he/she ain't gonna have the time:)

    Any way the information is great so keep it up - I no longer go the 'google' for it, I wait on 'gert' for it...it is called 'Gertle'

    Re: Sex???

    Since Gert has made it quite clear in other postings that there is a wife and children in the picture, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that "he" is a "he".

  10. I found this one, which has pictures of "Gert Potgieter" next to "Pete Ffrench" in third row: Locosts Around the world.

    Gert is definitely a man. I am the first person to figure it out. :D
     
  12. Perhaps I can use the occasion of my degreeinfo anniversary to announce my new web site, entitled "BA in 4 years." What a novel concept ...

    What about a Commonwealth version called "BA int3 Years."
