Florence Nightingale used to go on holiday with her pet owl. Who knew? Also, the hospital at Scutari had a pet tortoise. Just goes to show...

Ah Badgers, they're a relatively new invention in SJAB (er yes Den, from 1987, and you were one of the first, don't you feel old now).

Hospitilers uniform...er, have you ever seen the film Kingdom of Heaven?

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

um, no...

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

Ah well.

There are Hospitilars in that. They wore stuff rather like the Crusaders, but black with a white cross as opposed to white with a red cross.

*thinking hard*

knights hospitalers?

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

Yes, they were the forerunners to the modern day St John :)

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

*light dawning*

:)

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

lol, I should have been more explanatory to start off with :) But I'm not usually helpful like that in the first instance.

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

now why be helpful when you can confuse people?

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

I think it comes with being an assistant manager, you can't be to clear in what you say first time around.

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

no, but nor is it your FAULT that you are unclear... (the power! the power!)

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

Power and Chaos!

Zoot lives!

Please tell me you have suitable hair&make-up to be making that statement...

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

You know the signifigance of that statement!

*is awed*

er... I don't have any makeup with me anymore.

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

alas...

and oh yes *nods*

(Mall Rats...)

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

yay, another The Tribe fan!

Did you ever visit the Tribe website? and perchance sign up to the bulletin board?

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

Not to my knowledge. I mean, I DO do strange things when pre-post fit, but as far as I am aware, that was not one of them...

My sister was the devotee. I was just in the room... (but kind of intrigued by it all, to be fair...)

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

Ah thats a shame, The Tribe was my first internet experience :) Happy times were had there :)

The first series was great, and I loved it dearly. The next four weren't so good.

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

sometimes you can kill a concept dead...

I think this was one of those times...

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

It also didn't help that they had some disasterous casting choices and very very silly storylines.

And do you think liss is going to mind that we've sort of taken over her journal for most of the day?

[xanantha.livejournal.com]

Well, she SAID not...

[keladeekadys.livejournal.com]

This is a good thing indeed then.

Unless what was meant is different to what is said...
