Swouncing
was she born before Thread 1/Year Zero?
Well, the first TT "Buffy" thread started on May 19, 1997, so it's older than TFormerCBITW. Hmm. Maybe we need Gud to be certain of the order of events. Luckily, he's the one with the time machine, as well, so he can change history according to the way he wants it, anyway.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag Benno!!!!!!
(is that correct? I have no idea)
Benno may be Buffista Baby Zero as his pregnancy was the first announced here (iirc) and Fiona was deffinately the first person to post "I'm in labor and on my way to the hospital."

Gosh, here I am checking in for the first time after a couple of days offline, and am all touched that you remembered B's birthday! Thank you, kind people (and Trudy, that was perfektes Deutsch).
It does seem very strange to think that it was already four years ago that I was posting about my waters breaking and heading off to the birth center.
B. seems to have had a fantastic birthday; some friends came around in the afternoon and we had a Treasure! Hunt! and a really nice time. Plus had was given Playmobil knights and dragons and stuff, so it's all good.

How does it translate? Happy Anniversary of your birth?
I'm glad he had such a fun day.

Literally, heart-felt good wishes on your birthday. You got the Umlaut right and everything!

I'm afraid that was the miracle of cutting in pasting. All I can legitimately do in German is order coffee with milk and sugar and thank people warmly.

Well, these are all pretty important things too. Especially coffee.
Speaking of which... I'm off to bed now, so goodnight all.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And Happy Belated Birthday, Benno!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
And you're a one-trick FayJay?
I can turn all manner of tricks, but after a year working with the US curriculum I'd much rather get back to the UK system - I'm sick of feeling like I need to apologise for my skills and training, and I'd like to keep in touch with what's considered good practise in the UK, and the latest developments, and all that jazz. (You would be surprised by how much teaching methodology and philosophy varies from English-speaking nation to English-speaking nation. I know I am.)
Um.
But I'd like to go to Australia. 'Cept...well, I admire your enthusiasm for Australia's wildlife, but I am a wee bit daunted by the VAST array of bitey and poisonous beasties you have. (Keeping in mind that we have the adder, and that's your lot.) I mean, spiders that wait in the toilet with the specific intention of poisoning your arse. That's pretty disconcerting. Um.
I realise that I am now dead to you, and that this may hinder our attempts to fight crime together.
