Now why did I come in here?

Oh, yes, an EO thread.

Don't see many of those any more.

[BrilloPad]

You can't remember what you were doing 10 minutes ago....

[BR14]

Well?

Just the name of the fossil, approx age, when and where she found it. Its been keeping her quiet for ages at the weekends - not entirely sure how scientific it is, but I suspect it will be enough for Brown Owl!

I was being mean, I'm afraid. Fossil classification is a bugger of a subject. Devising a generic classification scheme for something about which you do not know the boundaries is very hard.

Anyway, if she's already started then this link is of little use to you. Other than to confirm what she is doing is just fine.

My favourites are the cross sections of Crinoids - which just look like big white dots, but when you immerese the stone in water you see a little tiny cross detail in the dots - lovely. I'm really getting into this fossil thing

Just so long as you remember the Devil put them there during The Flood to make you think the world is more than 6,000 years old. Or something.

What classification scheme is she using? Or is she devising one of her own?

Took today off, after taking 4 hours to get back from work last night and the train taking me an hour to get into Glasgow this morning then seeing the chaos at Queen Street for the Edinburgh shuttle I just called it a day and phoned in. Bloody rain.

Going to get royaly drunk this afternoon.

I know the feeling.

Flight turned back to AMS last night 15 mins from home as the windscreen cracked. Crap hotel near the airport overnight.

Just got home now still wearing yesterdays pants.

SO, I will be opening a nice cold bottle of white as soon as I pick Mrs PL up from work.

Rugby in pub tomorrow.

Lunch with little bro who's in town on sunday

Pogging in Prestwich

Hiya EO

Are you fossil hunting Pogle ?

[TheFaQQer]

I've weedled out of that one by getting a total refusal to dance one step from both of them a few weeks back. Their mother took them last week and they danced like a dream.

Means I can do a bit of non pestered digging in the garden in the morning, followed by rugby in the pub

I don't mind the ballet trip - DD1 goes into her lesson. DD2 plays with friends while we wait. I chat with the other parents. An hour later, DD1 comes out and has a snack before we go home.

[Pogle]

Any big plans for the weekend ?

Canoeing in Cumbria ?
Skiing in Scandanavia ?Curling up with a hot toddy to watch the celebs in the jungle ?

I am taking my lad to see YES at the Apollo in Manchester, I have been looking forward to this for months


yay
