Where Am I going?

**Zelda** · 08-02-2001 05:10 AM

Ok, for all of you who have asked, want to asked are asking where I am going....On the 23rd of September I am leaving Australia to take up a MSc position at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the Field of Epidemiology. Its a year taught course masters so I'll be having a white and cold Christmas. Dont worry, I am taking a computer and I am DEFINATELY taking my fencing gear. When I get email etc sorted out I will let those of you who have my email know. Does this make everyone happy?

It will do for now. But how will you run Arconia and keep that wiley king under control from such a distance?

**Iwant2bafencer** · 08-02-2001 08:51 AM

So you will be gone for a year? Australia sounds wonderful. I would love to go there someday myself.

**Zelda** · 08-02-2001 05:06 PM

Dame, I am working on that!

**HilandDoug** · 08-03-2001 07:03 AM

Wow, Zelda, pretty cool! Good luck and have fun!

Watch out for the crocodiles.

Z. did you notice? I think they think you are going to Australia instead of London.
Unless they suddenly have crocs in London.

**Iwant2bafencer** · 08-03-2001 04:40 PM

lol key word everyone she is LEAVING Australia to go to London.

Just to clear my part up I was mentioning Australia because i saw she lived there. Ne waz I would love to go to both places.

Cold - yes
white - not necessarily
wet - definitly

**Zelda** · 08-05-2001 04:29 AM

Hze, I'm spending Christmas in the North of Scotland in Aberdeen, they ALWAYS get snow (besides Anne Marie has promised me!)

**Shadow Fencer** · 08-05-2001 06:03 PM

Happy adventures Zelda....remember, if you ever get my way, we must cross blades!
Also, if you get a chance, try to sample the shortbread...that is if you like shortbread cookies, which I really do..... as well as my fencing mentor who came from Edinborough!!!(I think I spelled that incorrectly!

**Zelda** · 08-06-2001 01:43 AM

Shadow where are you based again?

**Shadow Fencer** · 08-06-2001 06:03 PM

Zelda,
Am based out of Albany, NY. Roughly 150 miles north of New York City! Hmmm, maybe I'll be fortunate to visit England. Will have to bring hubby along to video our bout in addition to carrying home the shortbread cookies!!!!

**Oor Wullie** · 08-07-2001 02:52 AM

Ah yes. Scotland, home of Shortbread, Tartan, Haggis, hairy red-heads (actually, that is me) and the Loch Ness monster.

Scotland has more to offer than this. For example, we have Irn Bru, bigotry and one of the highest rates of heart disease and cancer in the civilised world (largely due to overconsumption of haggis and shortbread). Enjoy your stay...

PS When in Aberdeen, watch out for the high
incidence of bestiality, and be sure not to
wear any wool.

**HilandDoug** · 08-07-2001 11:06 AM

LONG LIVE HAIRY REDHEADS!!!!!

And can anyone tell me what "bridie" is?

**Zelda** · 08-07-2001 05:59 PM

Oor Willie, Yes I know all that!! How you guys can drink Im Bru is beyond me, but hey each to their own! As for beastiality in Aberdeen, I dont wear wool so I SHOULD be safe!!!

Irn Bru: The Greatest orange-coloured, funny tasting fizzy drink in the world. They've also got a very funny advertising campaign out.

Ah, fair enough. Yup, if you are going that far north then you will definitly get snow. You made me think about it because when I showed my uni friends (from further south than me) my pictures of the snow at Christmas, they thought I'd just picked up the same snow and moved it about a lot.

**Oor Wullie** · 08-08-2001 03:45 AM

A Bridie is a meat pastry, although using the
word meat to describe the sundry bits of dead animal that find their way into this spicy delicacy is probably using a little poetic licence. It's quite similiar to a cornish pasty, if you know what that is.

**SteveMcDonough** · 08-14-2001 02:55 PM

Cornish Pasties are addictive.

It's coming up to ONE month for Zelda!
Time flies and all that.
