Well when I did mine 'lo those many moon ago, I just want into Accessories and pulled up the Sound Recorder.

I don’t know if that is the kind of file **Frannie** wants, but it _is_ free and she seems to be able to work with it.

Yep, recording it on the sound recorder in Accessories is fine. In fact, there are [instructions on the site](http://www.geocities.com/voiceofthetm/add.htm) as to how to do just that.

**Joe K** and **Tiburon** are added and **Tripler** has a brand new file. Rar.

As soon as i locate a microphone at home you’ll get the dubious pleasure of hearing me too.

**jjimm** is added. I was tempted to name his [Presuming Ed](http://www.withnail-and-i.com/sounds.php). I love that film.

I happen to have an extra 20MB Web space that is going unused, and, let’s be frank (I’m sure **Frank #2** won’t mind!) Geocities sucks! I only got to DL 2 people before it cut me off!

**Francesca** , you interested?

Cheers!

I wish I had a microphone. I’m told I have a rather interesting accent (it’s a New York/Mississippi fusion with bits of other ones mixed in), if my voice itself is but ordinary. And I could say “hawk” and see if you guys think I pronounce it oddly ( **Gunslinger** thinks I do)…

Hey! I just noticed that while I was singing “Dead Puppies”, my cat(s) were meowing in the background.

Bonus!

I should start a contest: “What do the Teeming Millions want to hear SPOOFE say?” It will be a poll to see what utterly ridiculous, idiotic, bullheaded thing that everyone wants to hear me say…

In the meantime, everyone gets to stick with the one I already sent in, off the top of my head. I just hope that it’s not too long…

Maybe that’s the recording I’ll send to Francesca next, then…

Hmm. I was sure I’d sent one of these things. But I have no record of it. Perhaps I should send another (once my voice has recovered from my latest head cold … )

Marvellous. **BraheSilver, Garius, Goonhead** and **SPOOFE** are all added. All sounding very smoove. Apart from SPOOFE, whose verbosity knows no bounds.

**Cyrin** - Thank you for the offer. But apart from having enough HTML knowledge to update the site (I didn’t design it), I am not very interwebically clever. Geocities works for me because it’s all very clear where I have to upload and edit things. I fear change.

**Steve** - You should absolutely submit your dulcet tones. For some reason, I think you should read out some A A Milne. I don’t know why.

I want to send one in, but I think I need to get over this cold first…

Besides, I can’t think of anything to say except, “Hi, y’all!”
