In a vain attempt to keep things together, I thought I'd start a thread to say...

Welcome back Ook and congrats on getting on the MA course.

What'll you be doing ?

Indeed, welcome back Ook. Where was our postcard?

You don't get postcards in nowhere land. I was here, but not o fforum...

(I'd say here in body but not mind, but various people have pointed out to that that is my normal condition..)

I will be doing an MA in Librarianship/Information Management at Sheffield. I picked it cos I know the town and like it, turns out the course is one of the best in the country.

*skips around happily*

Quite a lot of FForumites seem to live near/in S- is this Entropy/Coincidenece?
Narative Imperative?
or Just Plain Weird?

Anyway, I look forwards to learning about L-space and its use in the Trousers of Time come september. *skips around again*



My reality check has just bounced again.......

Ah, a fellow libarian! I did my masters in Leeds at the Poly (or Metropolitan University, as they want to call it these days).

I'm sure you'll have fun, I know I did.

Yes but wasn't that to do with the callibre of your housemates ??

indeed. Though nothing to do with the calibre of their spelling, I hasten to point out. :-)

Right. Thanks !

Ook: Lots of people gravitating towards Sheffield only makes sense.
There are two types of people. Those lucky enough to be in Yorkshire and those who wish they were...

The quality of the fforum can be established by the number of us Yorkshire folk around here ! <Quickly ducks for cover as insults start flying over the Pennines>

Hm. I suspect you're the only one who was actually born and brought up a Yorkie[1] though.

[1] oooh, choclit.

don't mention chocolate. The vending machine only had nasty white chocolate aeros left.

boo.

Er yeah. I realised as I was typing and soften everything I said from my usual vitriol. My dad's lived up here for 38 years but we still constantly lay into him for being a Southern Softie.

Ooh. Just realised that's going to set Dave off with his 'anywhere south of the Tyne is south and wussy' line...

which is true. Obviously.

I'm probably the most (originally) northern person here, except of course for Dante! I was born in the Lake District.

It's not bad here in the south, though... ;-)

I think I'll be the most southern then...
:-)

Er, that wouldn't be counting any Australians, then. There are some here, aren't they? I'm sure we had some .... somebody look down the back of the sofa ...

oops yeah, but i guess they all vanished!

In that case, I'm probably the most Western of the regulars.

nope, you're not Magda...I was born and lived in Washington State for 19 years :-P

Where are we measuring from? Swindon? .... and which way round are we going?

Okay, you're from further west originally.

BTW, my bother and his wife live in Seattle. I keep meaning to get out there and visit one of these years....
