You made a mistake stating that no animal, other than man, speaks about or recognizes its future. The honeybee, after finding flowers with pollen, returns to the hive and dances out the navigation to the other bees telling them: “if you follow these directions, you will find pollen” or as we might say, “ in the past I found flowers with pollen, I tell you now that in the future, if you follow these directions, you will find pollen and that future act is valuable to the hive and its future”. When someone hands you a map for directions, its use is always in the future. The bees “know” there is a future.</p> <p>rtbroz </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/message-from-andrew#post-170405 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:07:31 +0000 dogmatix15 170405@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>On itunes with the new versions of the podgrams there is no episode 3 from series one. That is the one which was previously called wallpaper. Just wondering where its gone and if it is going to come back as now do not have the full set anymore after deleting the old ones in replacement of the new. also loved to see it back after such an incredible gap i hope they come more frequently now as its a nice piece of audio about his musings or thoughts rather than the paid recordings of stories etc, not being cheap I have purchased some of these recordings but have missed the musings. much love to everyone </p> <p>Dogmatix15 </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/message-from-andrew#post-72565 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 17:14:34 +0000 steviea11 72565@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ in your latest podgram you mentioned the funding and how everything is beginning to cost money, well here is an idea.<br /> Firstly I'll apologise if someone else has come up with an identical soloution but i simply haven't read anyone else's theories.<br /> Simply sell your podgram on itunes and make it only available there and there alone. Let them run it and your profits from this can pay for all the other tedious parts that make up fry.com 2.0 that you mentioned.<br /> I suppose by doing this you'll need to make each last around the 1 hour mark for VFM. I hope you at least think about it.<br /> The 1st episode of your travels across the USA was great , I've always had my reservations about America but you have dispelled them with one episode, congratulations ,and now one day I hope to go there myself . As we Scots say awrabest (all the best) with your travels , and lookafter your limbs this time.<br /> <br /> Steviea11 http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/message-from-andrew#post-72511 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:19:05 +0000 Anonymous 72511@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Sorry about the stuff up on the RSS feed for the MP3 and m4a version. I'm trying to get it fixed by the team now.<br /> <br /> Best, Andrew Sampson http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/message-from-andrew#post-66677 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:34:00 +0000 rob_from_canada 66677@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Hi Jimbocam,<br /> <br /> You're welcome -- glad I could help.<br /> <br /> My apologies to all for the use of a highly technical term such as &quot;kakked&quot;. Hope everyone understood what I meant... &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> Rob http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/message-from-andrew#post-66672 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:37:22 +0000 Jimbocam 66672@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Thanks Rob.

I've no problems posting to this forum, but my log in isn't recognized by the blog. I've no problem logging in at the WP screen, and it takes me to my dashboard, but upon clicking the link to visit the site, the blog itself doesn't recognize my being logged in. Clicking on the link at the bottom of a posting just refreshes the page. Can you please help?<br /> <br /> Thanks to everyone that has made comments about difficulties in joining the forum and blog to make comments.
