Awww, come on! Stop keeping us out of the loop joke-wise just because we pilfered all the Us from your language... (hmph)
(afterthought: Where DID those missing Us go? I think they've all been kept in the back rooms of old gas stations. That's why they're all called U-Wash, U-Pump, and Screw-U. Thoughts?)

The princess axons should be available as soon as they are posted on recipe3. Which means Malrog, who has declared his intent to get this one today, may close this out shortly.
at 10:07 PDT, whatever the heck that means in the UK.
OK I looked it up - 14:37 (DST) in the UK = 06:37 PDT
You have 3 1/2 hours from .... NOW!
edit - with atrophied's help -- AD

go to timeconverter for all your timezone needs.

Sorry to drag this thread off the topic of HUMOUR, but I noticed that the_labyrinth did not go hot today, and this thread may show why.
True, the Pacific time zone is eight hours behind the Greenwich time zone. In other words, PST = GMT - 8. However -- as I discovered when trying to set "Timezone" in my profile here -- PDT = GMT - 7 .
I don't know whether the United Kingdom observes Daylight Savings Time or some equivalent thereof, but the computers seem to think it doesn't. Thus, Melissa may have been calling the axon at 5:07 p.m. GMT, and is Malrog and y'all were there at 6:07 p.m., well, that could explain why it got missed.
Thoughts?

Britain observes British Summer Time (BST). The axon rings at 10:07 PDT. That is 18:07 BST.
I am sure we will get this one soon.

I heard in chat that there was a guy on the phone that was supposed to ring or something.

Damn, that Axiom's about 5hrs drive for me, and they charge you to take your car into London (the ****s).
Hope some of the London mob can hit it, I'm spreading the word to my friends down there anyhow..
