According to hivemind, at 19:33 on 11 Aug 00, the word on the street
was...

Shut up, Bernard.

:)

BTW, why are you quoting large parts of Blackadder dialog as your
signature? At first I thought it was part of the actual post, as it's a
bit hard to tell where your .sig begins...

Eh? Melchett??? THAT WAS EDMUND!
And she was called Kate! She was just pretending to be a man servant called
Bob to earn some money...

It's not her name... It's her title...
Queen Elizabeth...

Methinks you shouldn't rush your replies, but read a little more carefully.
Gurth was quoting from the script.

It's a freeware prog called "Siggy" that generates a random .sig from
"fortune files".
You can find it at :

Actually, I wasn't :) Hivemind was, in his/her signature, and I quoted
that.

Or maybe from the book with all the scripts that I regret not buying last
year...

It's not a series. It's that one off thing they did for the dome.
(The only reason anyone would want to go to it)
