Where's Bear?

IYTM "rough!!" BICBW?

 

Wolverines don't have camps. They rip the stomachs out of grizzlies and
sleep there.

 

Des? A bit of rough?
Nah, far too nicely educated.

My first NG post was in '93. Not to UKRM though. I'm a relative Newbie
here.

You've been watching the editors cut of 'Alien' again haven't you?

Your details have been forwarded to my old boss at HG, don't even think
of asking for discount again

 

I remember using some odd form of news reader with a 'radio ham call
sign name' and posting ?early 96? Along with Orgi and then IXION.
Up until then I'd only used the net for email for work.

 

It was alt.energy I had a fun convo with a guy called Andy Grell who wanted
to build a five mile high Hydrogen condensing machine.

I left usenet alone for a bit after that, but after I subscribed to UKRM, I
reallised that spouting bollocks (tm) was what it was all about.

 

Ah. Mind taxing time is here again.

<pained expression>

Nope, whooshed again. Damn!

KA9Q I suspect - happy days - with a home-brewed DOS socket driver for
TCP/IP... A very good news client - not able to post directly to news
servers though (it was really a packet radio program) - had to use
mail2news.demon.co.uk - it sent an email to groupname@mail2news and
Demon then passed that to news or pubnews (remember that service?).

I only did Ixion for a short while in 96/97 and very quickly got bored.

 

That's the one!

I stopped following it about 00

 

What do you mean "run out of"?

 

Which bit; usenet as a whole or ukrm specifically.

My experience would suggest both.

Actually, there is a lot of decent information here and a lot of capable
people (mechanically anyway) post. I enjoy the general rough and tumble
of ukrm and don't *tend* to be as rude in real life as I am here; well
not most of the time anyway.

 

What was the average height of Victorians again?

 

He's lucky I found it amusing since I've got the redhot woodscrew
waiting.

 

I was watching National Geographic (or some animal thing) earlier, they
had some wolverines on. They're quite small things but they're incredibly
vicious and hunt things as big as moose and yes, grizzly bears stay *well*
clear of them.
They're very cool (and quite fluffy).

 

I thought it prosaic compared to my previous efforts.
