COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I need to head off in a minute. It's dinner time here. I'll try to catch up on some messages and then log off.

Thanks Adam and Cameron for humoring me I really enjoyed it. Sorry for those that wanted to come and missed it. Let's plan another one soon!

Indeed, it was rather fun, wasn't it ?
Yes, i always have 3 days for my birthday.
One's never going to be enough.
Take care, Chrissy, have a great night and a good week and see you soon.

Have a nice weekend too!

I will, just one lesson tomorrow and then Zac's coming round to play Lego and Kerplunk!

Can't tell if you're teasing. I'm too gullible and DO actually play legos with my kids fairly often

We will probably study Pliny the Elder, but that doesn't sound as fun.
Sadly, I don't have Lego or Kerplunk! any more.

But we do play marbles sometimes.

I'm off to bed as off out in the morning to hunt for Tidgy food, as she's started to pay an interest in her weeds again.
Then wifey has a lesson so I'll probably go out in the garden with The Tidge.
So, I'll see you sometime tomorrow afternoon, Roommates!

I just rarely went to the cinema.
1985 I would have been at university and fairly drunk most of the year.

1985... slightly soberer than the previous two years. I had my finals that summer and then I had to start earning a living

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. I'm feeling better after a long sleep.

We're off to my in-laws in Buckinghamshire today.

I had many years to go.
I barely remember 1986 at all!
But was much better behaved after that.

Good morning, Linda.
Enjoy your visit to Bucks.
I've really got to get cracking with some stuff.
On here much too much and it's slowing me down so.

Thought that may have been the case.
Morning, John, I don't blame you, you've had a pretty rough week.

The Silurians.

This is a rather smashing specimen of some Archaeocyathids from Australia.
They represent a possible link between the stem groups of sponges and the rest of the multicellular animals.
Sponges have just a single layer of cells in their walls (or 'skin'), the rest of the animal groups have 3 (exoderm, mesoderm, endoderm).
The archaeocyathids have 2.
They were quite an important group in the very early Cambrian reefs and looked a bit like cone shaped sponges.They did not survive the period and are the only major Phylum of animals ever to have become extinct
You can see cross sections of their simple structure here, both vertically and horizontally.
These are rare and most beautiful, I think.

There has been a lot of nasty squabbling on the forum again recently.
And some very unpleasant posts and threads.
Though thankfully not particularly in the Cold Dark Room.
Lots of tortoises seem to have gone missing and died.
And it seems some people don't want to talk to me or post more often in here when I'm not about..
I have ordered lots of party snacks and some children's entertainers for my birthday coming up.
There will hopefully be lots of fun and frolics.
And the drinks cabinet is unlocked if anybody can manage to find it in the dark.
Try to keep the one-legged pirate away from it for at least some of the time.
I'm sure i'll have a lovely three days, with lots of pressies,friends and refreshments..
But I won't be here.
Enjoy yourselves Roommates, I will almost certainly be back one day.
Ta ta for now.
Love,
Adam.
