I hope everyone who's anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next issue of n+1 finds it in his pocketbook to send along a contribution to the authors of his favorite submission once the issue arrives. -- PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-5128988824138673202007-11-09T22:47:00.000+00:002007-11-09T22:47:00.000+00:00jd - I hate doing anything important over the phon...jd - I hate doing anything important over the phone, because utterances cannot be retracted. In fact I will agree to just about anything to put an end to the conversation, so it is really not a good idea to do business that way.<BR/><BR/>tarartrat - it IS exhausting. Nameless voice from Bureaucracy A says you need a piece of paper from Bureaucracy B; B says they can only give you the piece of paper if you are already enrolled with A. And so on.<BR/><BR/>mrt, very glad to hear of your plans for Your Name Here, and yes, it would be good if the rights issues could be resolved.<BR/><BR/>Mith, a working radiator is a wonderful thing. I met someone on the top floor of my building and mentioned that I had Kohlheizung and he expressed incredulity that anyone in the building could still have such a thing. (He had some sort of excellent non-coal-powered heating.) I said my theory was that the people on the upper floors had rebelled first, because they could not face trekking down 3 or 4 flights of stairs every morning and trekking back up carrying 10-20kg of coal, whereas someone in a 1st-floor apartment like mine can just about face going down a couple of flights of stairs and up again. Or rather, I attempted to expound this theory, but I kept running up against aspects of German grammar that I had never known well and had soon forgotten, so that he never really grasped the connection between a 4th floor apartment and central heating.Helen DeWitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619602559096610012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-44228626495069252612007-11-07T16:57:00.000+00:002007-11-07T16:57:00.000+00:00JB and I haven't had heat in the back part of our ...JB and I haven't had heat in the back part of our apartment (bedroom, kitchen, living room) for 3 years. Last night JB leaned over the radiator, turned the knob on the side, and fffffft! fffffffffft! Ft! FT! ffffffffffff.... It started, uh, working. <BR/><BR/>All we had to do was turn the knob. Oh. <BR/><BR/>Now our apartment has that pleasant oil-burning smell. I've scalded myself twice on the radiator.
