Congratulations to all the winners, I've had a look at the Lace Guilds site
and was able to look at Gallery's 2 and 3 (couldn't access gallery 1 via
either web site address). Of the entries I was able to see pictures of, well
they were all absolutely beautiful and very worthy winners.
I shall

No, it's 5 litres to the gallon in the UK - that's the figure I was using.
79.9 pence times (x :-)) 5 is nearly four GBP pounds per gallon. But
Don't know about other countries, but I didn't realise that the UK pint is

gallon (using Jean's ratio of 3.75 litres per gallon).
Phil used to get me to work out the miles per gallon for the car,
(keeping a record gives an indication as to engine performance -
especially when a service is due!) and a
gallon (using Jean's ratio of 3.75 litres per gallon).
American gallons contain 3.785 litres
especially when a service is due!) and a gallon (eight imperial pints)
is 4.54 litres - Jean seems to be a little out in her calculation?
and Imperial gallons contain 4.546 litres.
So,
I know that in the UK a gallon is actually between 4.5 and 5 litres. The
reason why everyone I know rounds up a gallon to 5 litres is because what we
used to buy by the gallon, we now buy by the 5 litres not 4.54. So it's a
rough equivalent and easy to work out costs.

There's no problem with Gallery 1. It's a menu item along with the
other two and if you click on it you'll get the first page. Sometimes

Hello all,
I just got my phone bill today and you will all (especially Tamara) be
pleased to know that it cost me CAD$1.64 to talk to David. Yes, only $1.64
and we talked for 23 minutes! I was expecting 5-7 dollars so am pleased at
this price. And my short call to Tamara (she called me back
Hi everyone!
I'm back from visiting my boyfriend for the long weekend, and I think
I'll sit down and answer all of my accumulated Arachne email now.
It's a great thing to do while waiting for my Matlab program to finish
running and tell me what silly programming error I've made this time...
Weronika, the problem of getting lost in conversation doesn't only occur when
moving to a country with a different language!
I'm sure it doesn't. I'm fine with most of the language, it's just the
culture that confuses me. Especially when people my age start talking
about music and movies
And on the matter of cultural differences... Quite apart from the fact
that an American window is still not a proper window to me (the
sash-horror g),
What's wrong with the windows? There's plenty wrong with the windows
around where I live, but I didn't know it was a common American thing

So as to not be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly and Texan jokes,
you know you're from California if:
1. Your co-worker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
2. You take a bus and you are shocked at two people carrying on a
conversation in English.
3. Your child's
And the arrangement of dates? Don't even get me started...Where's the
logic of having month, day, year sequence???
Only the U.S. does that, the rest of us do day, month, year.
I have a strong suspicion -- Weronika? -- that Poland is now aping the
custom (along with many others).

1.Your co-worker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
Ah yes. The tongue piercings just keep surprising me.
2.You take a bus and you are shocked at two people carrying on a
conversation in English.
Yep. And I don't have a car...

I promise -- cross my heart -- never to do this again, but It's so
unbelievable to have, on the list, someone from Poland, who actually is
going through the same frustrations... I couldn't resist... :) On the
up side, the message will be so long, nobody is likely to read it to
the end and get
