how are ya, jc?
really quiet here today. i guess everyone over in england went to bed hours ago. it's a bit of an adjustment when most of your teammates are several hours ahead. are you going to bring anyone over from the other project? you should. i think things are going to be screwed up there for some time to come. doubt if i'll ever go back, for a few reasons, none of which had anything to do with the team i was on. i've gotten a good start here with a good team and think i'll stay. onward and upward. |

Hello John
----------------------------------------I'm from west coast US so I'm always up around now. ![]() You are one heck of a cruncher too man. ![]() I'm from the other project too if you didn't know. You probably do by now though. Anyway I plan to stay around here. I like it here and I want to see what happens when we finish the human proteome project. ![]() ![]() |

sounds like a fun set of directions...
(i started laughing when i saw "roundabout" repeated all over...then realized it's probably the actual word for one of the funny circly things you generally only see in movies around here...lol. initially my mind was thinking the directions took on a southern accent or something) |

I've driven around a lot of states in the US and I've not seen one roundabout yet. Must be a shock to some people from the US who come to drive over here? I'm guessing Pinky is referring to National Lampoon's European Vacation where chevvy chase gets stuck on a roundabout for most of the day... or maybe the simpsons episode where the same thing happens in it's usual movie homage, except that in trying to break out of it he drives through the gates of Buckingham Palace and crashes into the back of the Queen's coach
![]() ![]() All we saw in the US were "four way stop signs". I still don't know who has right of way there... Once I had someone letting me go then I just went for it. Can anyone enlighten me as to the right way to deal with them? Here's a roundabout that confuses even the Brits: ![]() Join Team UK |
