Where are you from?

[Nicky007]

Hey, Peter, you and I will still be listening to Arena at the old people's home in Hemel Hempstead when you're 85 and I'm (let's see) centenarian.

Nicky.

[PH]

PH probably thinks 'I'll only add you if you mention it here'. 

Of course!
Otherwise you wouldn't be active enough to get in the list! ~

With all respect, but Crownie and Mrs JIB are not really that active. Therefore they don't really belong in the active users list.
This can change of course! Just post a little bit more! And visit daily!
Don't take it to hard.
But the point of this topic is to get a map of the active users.

Peter and maddox will be added!

[Nicky007]

Maybe Nicky is a forum clone of Gelert?

Welcome back Gelert!

Now I get what this Gelert-jive is about. Just found the "Where is Gelert" topic in Off Topic.

Thanks for the compliment. But this guy is far more spaced out than I, with stuff like:

Internationally Affiliated Member of the Federated Union of Conundrums, Kudos, & Eccentric Dialogue, featuring the Scantily Clad Radii Of The Ubiquitous Meniscus - our motto "Time flies like an arrow - fruit flies like a banana"

I can barely imagine what a scantily clad radius of a meniscus is, not to mention seeing menisci all over the place.

See, I'm the serious intellectual around here. And therefore I'll give all of you the story about the original Gelert (mind you, before anyone devised clones):

Woof woof.

OK, so it's a parity between marsh monsters and highlanders. But if we weight by intelligence, the result is clear ....

I like those dots at the end

I'll send you some more. Here you are, Appelmoes: ................................................

Next time you gotta pay.

Nicky.

[Appelmoes??]

"Dots"! In stores now, or order them by calling us on the following number!_*

0909-10 10 14 07 13 16 04 04 07 22 10
_{* €5.-/m}

[Nicky007]

Appelmoes, I dialed that number, and I reached a redlight lady on Mars. She had a good offer, but only for this week, and I can't get there in time.

Got any other numbers?

Nicky.

[Appelmoes??]

You didn't notice anything about those numbers? Something Arena related?

[PH]

You didn't notice anything about those numbers? Something Arena related?

I tried to figure it out, but I still don't know...

Maybe it's better that way.

Anyway, here is a graph that I made.
It's only temporary, JJ II is not counted in this graph yet.

Red = The Netherlands (50%)
Blue = England (12,5%)
Yellow = Denmark (12,5%)
Green = France (12,5%)
Brown = Germany (12,5%)


Come on! There are some more active members out there!

I can't either get it, Appelmoes. I'd hoped someone else could.

I hope I didn't shake you up too bad with my "revelation". You became so quiet. "I was just trying to be funny." You just happened to be the patsy. I could have written the same bullshit about anyone else.

OK, write up some bullshit about me. Let me bite the bullet.

Nicky.

Hope your insurance will cover that.   

[Appelmoes??]

I had dinner And my mom always told me I shouldn't speak with mouth full. so I shan't

The numbers are related to the Arena albums btw. That's the last hint.

[Nicky007]

Yellow = Denmark (12,5%)

I'm personally a 12,5%. Wow, what an honor! And I even got my favorite color: yellow. I love the sun, oranges, Chinese, Smileys, the floor of the Lions Cage, the sky of Contagion, the Immortal lamp, piss (getting rid of it), my skin before it gets too brown.

So maybe I'll hang around here for a while. The effort of concocting 100+ posts has borne fruit!

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

I had dinner

Baked apples with pomme de terre and appelmoes sauce.

Yellow snow?

I seriously miss the ladies' contributions to our discussions.

There was no woman represented in PH's otherwise excellent apple pie.

It would be interesting to hear, what sort of prog that touches you, which lyrics intrigue you, why there are so few female prog musicians and how we can change that, and a lot more.

Maybe we should also start a topic on how sexy the Arena guys are ........ except that it would be a very short topic.

I guess I have to try to dig up some compliments here: OK, you wonderful and clever ones, what are your takes on these matters?

(Did I do well here, PH and Co.?)

Nicky.

[bellanova]

Oi Nicky! Im a girl and i was represented in the appe pie i believe. I was one of the couple of  Brits mentioned before.

I know alot of females that are into prog rock but are not necessarily into Arena. Another lady that should be included because she does post on here is HelenDo and also Proglady.

Do you actually see the thing in there? Add up the first letters.... that's Gelert's humour

Thanx, Peter. 

This is actually the first time i've noticed that.   

[PH]

I noticed it right away...
*sigh*

Peter, I didn't know you could be so risqué!

I guess even a captain needs a bit below sundeck now and then.

Nicky.

[HelenDo]

Only just noticed this thread  

I live in London, originally born in Birmingham and I am female!

I have noticed the other thread about women and prog, so will post some thoughts when I have a bit more time.
