I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I suspected it might be so hectic that you wouldn't have time for me. I am, however, majorly jealous of your meeting-up with each other and Roz K. (I'd be even more jealous if you'd actually found Giles.)

Let me know when you're passing through London-- I'll be back to Nottingham on 7th January, and am not sure of my plans before then, but it's a possibility.

SA! No, I got no text either, but I think I know what the problem is - you're putting the Dublin code "1" in there where it doesn't need to be. It's just 00 353 86 (or 85 or whatever). And I have no credit in my phone at the minute, but as soon as I'll do I'll text your English mob so you can just hit 'reply'' and make everything much easier.

So glad you and Fay managed to get home despite the utterly egregious weather Happy very belated Christmas! (stupid no internets at home...)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ah-ha! I was wondering about that persistent 1. Someone told me that I needed the 1, and while I thought that was kind of odd, I didn't know if, like, all cell phones in Ireland were routed through Dublin or something ridiculous like that.

I should get your text tomorrow, I think, when I go into town and finally have signal again. I will then promptly text you back. And I'll text you too, Spring, just so you have it handy in case you should randomly decide to jaunt to England. Not that I'm encouraging you, or anything.

By the by, OH MY GOD CUSTOMS BLOWS. While I sort of knew that there wasn't customs between Ireland and Britain, I didn't take that to mean that there would be no customs *at all.* So now I'm possibly here illegally? And my passport has to be stamped for my visa to be activated. I mean, chalk it up to wanting the easiest and timeliest route between Dublin and Fay, but now I have to fuck off and go to Calais for like 36 hours just to get a damn bit of ink on my passport. Grr AND argh.

How was your Christmas, m'dear? Did G get back safely to Bostonia?

Yup. Three more sleeps and he's back here. His sister couldn't get to Boston from Colorado unmtil yesterday though, because of the weather.

It sucks so hard that you have to go to France! Oh what a mess.

Only in the context of me could this sentence work. *facepalm*

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, THIS is just fanfuckingtastic, no?

::sigh::

Well, still in the UK at present, worrying about my friends. Heading back to Bangkok in a few days' time.

I was wondering about that, Fay--it was on the news yesterday morning and it said that UK citizens were being advised not to return.

In other news, not impressed with Dover.

Heya, I need a Brit to look over a comic script to make sure my Brit speak is up to snuff. The folks who do the Wallace and Gromit comic have an open audition period, so I have a short for them, but want to make sure that I have the right tone to it.

Does anyone have an email and name for the Guardian book review editor besides review@guardian.co.uk. I'm sending a query, and I'm told it is better to address an actual person rather than a departmental email address.
