Does Mattel make the Barbie Dream Yurt? \*\* And don’t forget Mongolian barbie’s boyfriend **Genghis Ken** ---

That was terrible, yet inevitable. Count me in for Mongolian as well. I plan to be at the Silver Cross around 6.30ish. ---

Chances are i’ll be staying in the pub. Although if _everyone_ is going food then (obviously) i will too. I don’t want to look like Billy No Mates. ---

Hey, has anyone heard from **Kal** or [bWashte\*\*? They were gung-ho about the whole thing on p. 1, but seem to have dropped off the face of the earth since. I was looking forward to meeting them. Hope they’re alright…maybe an e-mail or two is in order. ---

I’m not ignoring you! The place where I’m giving the residential course has internet access (yay!), but unfortunately, I can’t seem to log in to my work email account ☹ Its a bit of an arse really. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brit-dope-winter-2003/204981.md?page=43) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brit-dope-winter-2003/204981.md?page=45)
