<HTML>"Illiterate or illegitimate". Reminds me of a lovely old comrade in the local Labour Party (back in the days when it _was_ the Labour Party - I'm no longer a member) who once solemnly announced that he had checked that everyone present was "illegible to vote" in some internal Party election or other. Good job his handwriting wasn't eligible, then.</HTML>

<HTML>Hey thats me too unless you count long (and rather pointless) essays on John Ford and Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Well okay I dont mind Blake too much but Ford does my head in. But yeah no time to write novels or stuff. I have had one on the go for about three years but its going the same way as Thursday's seascape I'm afraid and I haven't got anything done since I got to Uni, so its kind of slipped too close to WOLP to be resurrected I fear.</HTML>

<HTML>So I'm officially of the literary persuasion then? cool.
Anyone who wants to dare the anti-stalker photo (and has time to waste on the web) can have a look at my stuff- if you're really in the mood for some ugly Uni photos and a bit of rambling personal witterings as well as poems. I'm no good at IT, so I got a freind to build it for me.
Oh, yeah, and all the photos a delibrately non flattering, ok?

<HTML>Yup, I think you may be fairly counted among the literary persons. I particularly liked the Troy trilogy; did you ever read The World's Wife by Carol Ann Duffy? These are poems that look at history from the distaff side - here's Mrs, C. Darwin;
"7 April 1852
Went to the Zoo.
I said to Him--
Something about that Chimpanzee over there
reminds me of you."</HTML>

<HTML>Is she the one who did the poem about Wordsworth's sister?
I really liked that one! I'm glad you like them, I'm sorry the photos are just so bad- we didn't have many when we assembled the site, so we chose the least awful......</HTML>

<HTML>Ben's Supervisor says (well, the ones that aren't in hospital) -
You're coming up with some good ideas, now turn them into a proper research proposal. Actually Ithe meetings about the project went okay, and gave me a chance to say 'Hi' to a couple of people. Couldn't think of any other thread to convey this information in, so bunged it here.
Didn't have the heart to tell them that I spend most of my time mucking about here....</HTML>

<HTML>'Geostatistical mapping of biodiversity' said the job description - and I'm not going to argue with that...
Basically trying to create (and more importantly test) a model of agriculture in a river catchment up in Perthshire. There's already been one created - but it's pants. i'm also going ot find out how far it'll stretch until the elastic breaks - which is the only thing close to here....</HTML>
