Must be the programming? I think I got my lines crossed somewhere!!!<BR/><BR/>How come you were doing 'O'Levels? You are American, aren't you? Did you go to a British school? You even say 'maths' and not 'math'. Are you sure you're American?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-83964299360119250332007-07-11T07:26:00.000+02:002007-07-11T07:26:00.000+02:00Hi Sarah, Am entirely flattered.

I got a B in O Level Maths, does that count?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I agree with colinb about your blog. Have a lovely day.Minterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452215272543246319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-46557586029247937622007-07-10T10:20:00.000+02:002007-07-10T10:20:00.000+02:00Thank you, Sarah. blueVicar is about inspiring ot...Thank you, Sarah. blueVicar is about inspiring others to think, to see and to write.

Drop that cloak of anonymity, return to your old identity - or choose a new one if that is your preference - and then cast a spell with your erudition/insight/wit/charm - whichever was your speciality before things turned sour.sciencebodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051016731274875332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-64195190600352338372007-07-09T19:39:00.000+02:002007-07-09T19:39:00.000+02:00All very well to fabricate your favourite blog lis...All very well to fabricate your favourite blog list but keep in mind those marvellous contributors who supported the blogs with their writings.<BR/>The NHS colinb refers to is "Now Hippo Says', that unique pallative of his blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-63217662127302864132007-07-09T10:21:00.000+02:002007-07-09T10:21:00.000+02:00Thanks for including me in your list, Sarah.

It goes without saying that yours would be at the top of my list too - for its candour and for its elegant writing style. <BR/><BR/>Apologies then if I hold off nominating my other Most Thought Provoking Blogs. <BR/><BR/>Dreams & Daemons has much in common with the NHS: it's unworkable in principle, yet manages somehow to survive, albeit under permanent review. <BR/><BR/>I'm minded to try an entirely different format in the next week or two - making it more like a stand-up snack bar than a sit-down meal. <BR/><BR/>As I'm sure you're aware, the male brain can, with few exceptions, (fighter pîlots etc) handle only one task at a time: I'll re-invent D&D first before pontificating on the pros and cons of other folks' blogs. <BR/><BR/>Its new form will hopefully allow me to network more easily and naturally with other blogs.sciencebodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051016731274875332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-84604811643312013592007-07-09T00:51:00.000+02:002007-07-09T00:51:00.000+02:00Thank you Sarah, most kind!Thank you Sarah, most kind!Shahidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555080365070123707noreply@blogger.com
