Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

WHO IS NUMBER 6?

I am, actually.

Only on b.org would you actually get a response to that question.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dana: Could it be that you are in fact also Number 1?

(Okay, if you never watched The Prisoner, I now sound insane.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have a high number, and I don't know why, As you all know, I have been here since TT, and I am way wicked gabby.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I have watched The Prisoner. Like I'd tell you if I was Number 1. Maybe you should ask Number 2.

Did you create a new account on one of your name changes, or am I making that up?

Oh, like he'd tell me. I'm #423, they don't tell us 400 series anything.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

P-C just told me to come back and explain the Prime Minister thing, so;

There's a law in the UK Labour bought in called the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, and part of it said you couldn't protest near Parliament in the UK. It basically meant if you had a problem with a UK law, you couldn't actually go and tell people making the laws without contacting the police and going through a long process to get permission to do a lone demonstration.

Which, bad.

So we found out about 18 months ago our Prime Minister did a little event in Parliament Square which they judged as a political event, but they failed to clear it with the police. And it was a mass gathering with media. Which is a clear breach by the Prime Minister of his own law.

So we tried to get him arrested/questioned/whatever over it. We tried everything. We did a recreation of his Parliament Square event and got police permission to do it, and got them on record that it would be a criminal offense not to have permission. We told the police. We told everybody. And, you know, 'cos it's the Prime Minister nobody cared he broke the law.

So nothing happened in the end. At the moment we're in the middle of a private prosecution which will force him to court to talk about it.

It's a small issue some might say, but it's a law THEY PUSHED THROUGH to stop people having political events around their office. And they broke it. So, that's that.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm guessing it wasn't Thatcher then.

Anything for a weird life.

Well, Kevin's is a tough post [EDIT: apparently omnis followed it for me. thanks!] to follow, but I figured in reading the last few pages that I could do a public service and post the first 20 or so members of b.org:

1) Admin 2) ita 3) Lori 4) meara 5) Anne W. 6) Dana, as previously mentioned 7) Theodosia 8) Jesse 9) Ellen S. 10) Angus G 11) Maggie B 12) (blank profile? any long-timers or stompies know what's up with that?) 13) PMM 14) Elena 15) Jen 16) Laura 17) Miracleman 18) Beverly 19) msbelle 20) Jessica 21) joe boucher

Oh, and I'm 1794. whoo.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just went to the Buffista map to ask something entirely different. And than I saw something very interesting.

We have a Syrian Buffista.

I hope he/she are still around, because I'm very excited by this information (a Buffista living so close to me, in a place I'm dying to visit one day (not in the actual sense of the word, since you know, it can be done), and in one of the "enemy" countries (I defy your definition to enemy country, my government)).

So, if it's true, I'd like to ask said Buffista to introduce himself/herself.

There's so much I want to know. I grandfather's family stayed in Beirut for a few good years before WWII, and I know they traveled around - got the photographs and all. So I'd love to hear more.

(I'm 1975.)
