    Bonjour friends,
    
    Received a French fault description (goes with a module) it said:
    
    Rien ne ve plus, tought that was used in a casino ??
    
    Only know: J'ai Ray, je suis vinght-huit ans...you know
    
    R

Gives everyone else a chance to catch up on the unseens...

H.

Hi Ray,

� Rien ne ve plus

What does that mean?

H.

    
    
    actually Je M'appelle...
    
    and
    
    J'ai 28 ans
    
    
    but close enough for jazz. :)
    
    Chris
    :)

Chris,

Guess being Canadian you've picked up a lot of French in your
time?

H.

    Chris - 28... THAT'S OLD.....
    
    Paula

    
    Oi Paula... do you really want to be my Friend or what ???????
    
    
    
    
    
    Shell

    
    
    actually I'm nearly 31 Paula! ( and ...loving it!)
    
    H, living in Ottawa you really need to learn French because it is
    right on the border of Ontario and Quebec. All the best jobs require
    bilingualism.
    
    I majored in French and linguistics at University for my first degree.
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    And Chris, do you like IT in England.
    
    Ray

    
    
    I like IT anywhere I can get IT!! :))))

Chris,

That's impressive...  So you'll be instantly spotting all the
grammatical mistakes in our school boy/girl French...

H.

    
    ?? Info Technology ??
    
    Heard the woman in the UK are worse ?
    
    Ray

    
    
    I'll try not to correct anything...we all do our best.
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    
    my IT and your IT seem to differ! :)))0

    
    The It you mean too !!
    
    Ray

    
    
    Ray..
    
    IT = a jolly good rodgering
    
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    Jolly good what ??
    
    Ray

    
    Dont ask PLEASE Ray.......... Christopher behave yourself !!!!!
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Shelley

    
    I wanna know it Shell, I can imagine somehow but I wanna be sure.
    
    Want to install some "slang" onto my harddisk, loaded was the first..
    
    Ray

    
    
    Rodger must have been an impressive guy to get that named after him!
    
    Chris
    :))))

    
    Thanks Chris for telling the truth. I learned a Italien sentence from a
    guy who told me that I was saying "hello everything OK with you" but
    at my "tryout" I discovered that it meaned something else. I was happy
    she didn't hit me..
    
    Ray

I have been working at Digital for 6 months so far, and I've
been active in this conference for about 4 months.

I work in the IPEG group (Interworking Products Engineering
Group) in Reading, Berks.

So, you're in Warrington (like quite a few others I know), but
what do you do?

H.

    Gone for Lunch perhaps
    Loo Maybe

    Sorry H,

    good-looking and size 12 feet

Hi Craig,

Weather forecaters always seem to get it wrong, and the type of
weather you actually get is not what you want either.

We got a severe weather warning down here in the south for snow
during Xmas week, but it didn't snow after all that.

H.

    
    
    Ahhh me Darlin' Deb......I's just fine.....It is a tad chilly this
    mornin' though with the wind chill and all that.....time to star
    thinking about a vacation in the deep south......maybe Venezuala
    again.....
    
    
    CHRIS!!!!!!see the weather you are missing.....:-)
    
    
    C
    

    Excuse me CRAIG I SPOKE TO YOU FIRST...
    
    Bloomin' Deb Darlin' is now treading on MY toes...
    
    Paula

    
    
    
    H....A severe weather warning in the south usually means tornado....or
    1/2 inch of snow....which ever comes first......severe weather warning
    here means more than 12 inches of snow.....or really cold temperatures
    like we have now......we do get the tornadoes....but they are reserved
    for the summer time......
    
    
    C
    

    sorry babe....

Deb,

Well it works...  If you get a whole gang of colleauges to ring
up they'll do something, but if just one of you rings up,
nothing.

Trouble is, once one end of our offices are the right temp, the
other end isn't so there's a continual to-ing and thro-ing if
you get what I mean!

Now you're confusing me!  What's this about "biblical names"?

H.

    ask Paula - on 2nd thoughts - dont do that you wont get a reply!!!

Pretty good Craig!  I thought about you this morning when our weatherman said
it was -15F with the windchill!! Brrr....our coldest yet for the season.

Looking forward to the weekend, 3 hours to go!

Lola    

    Hi! Lola,
    
    
    					S

    
    
    Lola.....it was -24 C here this morning (-11 F)  The windchill was more
    like -25 F......Not that there is a whole lot of difference in degrees
    of cold when it is that cold......
    
    
    
    Craig
    

Hi Scott!

Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Lola

Too cold for me, Craig!

Lola

    				S

Then why do you live there, Craig? :-)

Well Scott, tomorrow we'll be going to the Camping show in Marlboro, I just
love going into all the trailers and checking out what's new.

Saturday we're going to Steve's grandmother's to get some of her things...
kinda gruesome, they want to close her apartment down since she's now living 
Steve's parents and she won't be needing any of her stuff anymore.

Lola

 Hi Lola!!!

  Rich

    
    
    Lets see.....job is here....family is here.....and can't afford to move
    to a nicer climate......besides....we have a good summer here and
    winter really isn't all that long....(it only seems longer than it
    is)...
    
    also...I suspect that going to the warmer climates, I would then
    complain about being to warm......
    
    
    
    Craig
    

Hey there honey man!

Are you your usual sweet self today? ;->

Lola

>    also...I suspect that going to the warmer climates, I would then
>    complain about being to warm......
 

Hahaha...I can imagine myself doing exactly that, Craig!  

Lola    

Lola, ALWAYS !!!


  Have a great weekend !!

Rich

    
    Hey Lola,  Did you guys take a power hit earlier?  We did....systems
    just getting back to normal now!   What a pain...of course I lost some
    work cuz I hadn't saved it!
    
    Grr.
    
    Hiya to Scott, Rich, Craig and anyone else still about.
    
    /jen
    
    P.S. Where is CM these days?
    
    

hi /jen
   
     AKO always takes power hits. The line coming off the power
main has always been a problem. One of the reasons for the low
occupancy rate for ak02.

  Haven't seen CM in a few days. Don't know whats up .


Rich

    
    Rich-
    
    And why didn't you tell me this BEFORE you let me move in?  
    Hmmm...aren't there real estate disclosure laws? :^)
    
    /jen

	Hi /jen!

	No, no power hits here today!  CM is out with the flu.

	Rich, make sure you stay that way!

	Lola

    
    Hi Lola,
    
    Thanks for the update on CM....hadn't seen him in the file and was a
    bit worried.  Hope he gets better soon.  Way too many people sick these
    days!
    
    /j

Probably because they go out in the snow barefoot with no gloves!  :-))

Lola

<< aren't there real estate disclosure laws? >>


NOT ONLY WORKS IN FINANCE, BUT A PART TIME LAWYER TOO!! :-)))

  It's in the occupancy permit. 


  HUGS

 

    
    Hey Lola...told ya...I did that and didn't get sick!  I'm so happy...
    haven't had pneumonia in two years! :)   Such an accomplishment for me!

    Morning All from home on Sunday. The fever only seemed to last 2 days
    and I'm getting over the aches of it but this was quite the flu this
    year. I'll be back at work monday but probably too busy to note much. I
    had to hit unseen on the last 1200 notes since wednesday.

    	it's a bit nippy to be sure. I had two EMT calls friday night and

    	Glad to hear you're feeling better CM! I went out with a friend
    last night and had a wee bit too much to drink....ended up taking a
    sick day today. I didn't have any fever but boy the room was spinnin'
    (I ended up sleeping on this guy's couch). I think I had a flash back
    to my teenage days...:)

    Ray

    Ray , mate, friend, pal, chum........
    
    I was a good girl on Saturday...I could still walk, just, and that was
    due to the Beer........nothing else...My legs ached sooooooooo much,
    	but again.....that was due to the dancing  - 
    
    
    luv
    
    D.
    
    p.s. - oh yea..............I remember clearly now..!!!

    and it was Poole with an E Ray       :-))
    
    luv
    
    D.

    
    No Poole with a e(not a E).
    
    I've seen the dart champs on BBC, are that the kind of guys that go
    to Poole.
    What do you remember babe..
    
    Ray

    well, Ray - I dont know cos I didnt see the darts on the BBC - but
    what I do remember is a guy - who was kinda cute.....oh and I remember
    his name - which is something I guess....but I dont want to see him 
    again - and I have my reasons - and Paula if you are reading this -
    I;ll tell ya why later....
    
    Does that suffice do ya think?
    
    luv
    
    D.

Hey Deb,

I'm alright - had a great weekend...  But you made your Saturday
night experience sound a bit depressing, that all...

H.  :o)

   H  what sound depressing to you??? - cos it wasnt depressing for me!!!  
    
    
    
    Ray - your last note - I didnt quite understand it - sorry babe.
    
    
    luv
    
    D.

    well H - what made your weekend so great mate?
    
    
    luv
    
    D.

Deb,

The fact that you felt Paula had a better time than you, and the
guy who you didn't want to see again...

I understood Ray's last note - I think...

H.

A great weekend for me is one that's restfull and relaxing
usually...

H.

    Helloooooooooooooooooooo

    Ray - I get your note now
    
    H - The reason P had a better time than me - was due to the fact that
    she had the perfect sompany there.......
    
    and the reason I didnt want to see that guy again - was because the 
    perfect company wasnt there..............get it now???
    
    
    luv
    
    D.

    I got it..
    
    P

    	Good morning peeps!
    
    	Ahhh...feels good to be back (although the bed felt mighty comfy at
    4:30am when the alarm went off). Just drove through the "Blizzard of
    '96".....the worst part was getting out of the driveway! :*) Roads are
    snow covered and the snow is blowing, but the road crews are doing a
    great job of keeping everything well plowed.
    
    	re: Chris
    
    	Yes, the wound was self inflicted...sort of! "They" kept buying me
    beer and I couldn't be rude and not accept. :) I knew I was in trouble
    when it was 1am, I'd been drinking for two hours and I'd consumed about
    a 6pack (and I hadn't eaten since noontime!). Stumbled to my friend's
    house and slept on his couch...:)
    
    
    chico

    D.

Scott,

Have you got loads of snow already?  If so, how was the journey
into work?

H.

    
    
    Scott ..is that an additional 20 inches of snow??
    
    How much total is on the ground now apporximately?
    
    Chris
    :)

    "H" man,   The snow deal is that the weather person said we were going
    to get 12 inches before day break and the rest during the day.
    
    	But at least the drive in wasn't that bad (cold), but not bad,
    yet..
     		By the time I leave it will be bad...:*(
    
    
    		FYI    			Scott

    Im sad now..................:-(

    D. :-]

    
    
    oops....sad...why are you sad?? :)))

    Chris,
    	The total snow fall this year so far is around 65 inches....
    
    	What is on the ground now plus twenty inches would be around 28
    inches...
    	But CM, lives around Boston, Ma which is south of me.  I don't know
    how much they are getting.
    
    
    
    					Scott

    Yes, Deb why are you :*(
    
    
    
    				S

    
    
    
    so the snow isn't staying very long then...it must be warming in
    between storms.
    
    Chris
    :)

    Chris,
    	Not really but the plows and sanders are doing a good job keeping
    it off the streets and roads.
    
    
    P.s.  I want summer back again (soon)
    
    
    
    					Scott

    me tooooooooooooo!!!
    
    I want summer!!!
    
    luv
    
    D.
    
    p.s. - I am happy again Chris - but thanks

    
    Hi Chris.....it depends on where you are.   In central Mass there was
    already about 2 feet on the ground.  And NO it is not warming between
    storms at all in this area.     The plowed banks are 5 and 6 feet high
    in parking lots already!
    
    and Weather forecasts are for a couple more inches on Wednesday and
    maybe a nother BIG storm on Friday!
    
    /jen
    

    /jen,
    	Yes I heard about the Friday storm also...
    
    
    
    				S

    The thought of snow sounds gorgoeus to me, I havent seen that amount of
    snow in Scotland for about 13 years.........
    
    But I guess it cant be too good for you guys......huh....

    I miss the winter storms!
    
    Its actually quite warm here today.
    
    It was 9 degrees celsius when I came in early this morning!

    that's because I was in already Chris!!  :-))

    not really - just realy warm...........
    
    
    luv
    
    D.

    
    Hi Scott and D and all the rest.
    
    It is very pretty and after all we live in New England.   Some people
    freak out....you know...go to the market and buy enough food to last
    a month etc.   
    
    But otherwise it has been light and fluffly snow which hasn't been too
    bad to shovel out...the real heavy wet stuff can be nasty and many
    folks not in shape can hurt themselves.   
    
    So...as long as you don't have to travel much and if you do, you take
    it easy....all should be ok.   
    
    /jen
    

Hi Jen,

Yeah, the current weather picture you paint is exactly the
impression I got from news reports here in the UK about east
cost US...

Sounds like everybody should be staying safe at home...

H.

    
    
    what time did you get to work at Deb?
    
    Chris
    :)

    what time did you get in Chris?
    
    D.

    
    Well New York City has been SHUT down....about 2 feet of snow.  
    They've closed the schools there for the FIRST time in 18 years!
    
    Also they had over two feet of snow in North Carolina which for those
    of you who aren't too familiar with our geography is 1/2 way to 
    Florida!
    /jen

    
    
    
    i got here around 06:40 a.m
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    
    did Florida get any bad weather /jen?
    
    Chris
    :)

    
    Chris.....6:40 a.m.
    
    Geez....are you a perky morning person!

    oh dear Chris - I didnt come in 'til 8.20, so I cant take my claim
    to the heat in the building..................:-((
