In another group*, long ago, we had a long-running thread in which we
developed a story-line which had us all riding elephants around the
world and encountering strange and surreal experiences. Suffice it to
say that my elephant was called Rolling Thunder.

Are you absolutely sure you want to do that? It leaves you open to both
fore and aft attacks. However, I have to admit that you are now
adequately covered against any penetration by Stephen's diagonal.

Hey, Jim, Do you fancy a bite of something to eat? If you stay where you
are I'll wander down to Piccadilly Circus and we can meet up at Wong Kei.*

Hmm. I didn't expect that; I may have to rethink my strategy.

Indeedly-doodly.

Incidentally, it now looks as though I get my transplant sometime in
October. As soon as I get more information I will let you know so that
we can arrange a send-off meal. As you know, apart from the mortality
risk immediately after the transplant, I will have to avoid any place
with more than one or two other people gathered together for a few
months. (That's what I was calling about at the weekend)

BTW, chaps, I'm thinking about forking* this thread before it breaks
Thunderbird. Any opinions? I'd suggest moving down to the bottom as a
continuation of Stephen's 'Help! I am a prisoner in a Long Thread Factory'.

Sorry, I've been getting spam. No voice mail?

I'll get on the dog when I can find my teeth and brain.

Since when were you a hipster? You don't have a beard and you're not
wearing tight, red trousers.

Incidentally, I suppose we have to sit around now, waiting for Jim. You
did give him a map, didn't you?

I'd be surprised if Thunderbird broke because of the depth, but yeah, a 
reply back at the root message should suffice. :)
