Sorry I haven't been around much recently; I'm now working full time for David's lingerie business. I'll be away at a lingerie show in Harrogate for the next two or three days, but with a bit of luck should be catching up with everyone on Wednesday.

Ooktavia and Sarah - sorry I haven't managed to e-mail you back. Hopefully after Harrogate, things will settle down a little and I'll be able to give reasonably sensible replies.

A friend will be looking after the cats, but don't tell Minsky I said that. Minsky's opinion is that he will look after the other three cats himself, and the friend is coming only for the purpose of making the computer network more efficient! :-)

Hmm, that's a point... Where is Ook these days?

And as for 'knickers' as a headline. Talk about 'red', 'rag' and 'bull'

I've been away. (not put away, but close.) And I come back and find it's all changes, and, more importantly a shade of industrial bilge/government office green. Huh. And how come everyone's got nifty quote now?

Change- the thing that happens when you're not looking, eh?

I've been pursuing jobs, left right and left wing. Anyone need a Librarian/Information Manager? ANYONE??????

Also done a bit of writing, but nowt very exciting or good, as of the now.......
Unless you LIKE derivative fantasy stuff, of course.

oi! Sort yourself out a decent profile! Good to see you back around... btw, carrying on business from another thread - did you march then?

I'm wondering what Wilfred's going to look like in frilly knickers

Polly

That image of Wilfred in frillies has disturbed me all day .... is it not enough that the poor bird is a dipsomaniac with a dodo delusion? Must he become a cross-dresser as well?

And you should have said summat earlier, Ook; they were after a librarian in the next village to mine for ages, but they eventually found one. Sorry.

I din't march in London, but I stood still for peace in Leek- 300 people holding placards down Leek high street is an amazing sight on a non-market day.

I's a Librarian/researcher for business information Jon, not to worry. Unless the village needed someone who could explain the oil world and the financial, a bit (my last job was a researcher for a headhunter's) I wouldn't have been right for t'job anyway..

The problem is atm, only law firms seem to be hiring information workers. Dang.



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

How many qualifications does one need to put books in alphabetical order? Surely it isn't that hard...

I don't know, what if you choose a Japanese lesbian, nymphomaniac macaque to order your books? Surely they'd be justifiably called monkeys? There isn't just THE librarian as an option...

I really am going to regret this, but I have to know. Are Japanese macaques given to nymphomania and alternative lifestyles?

(Aren't they the ones that take steam baths in geysers?)

Would I lie to you?

Couldn't get a copy from anywhere that won't look strange, but check out [365gay.com]

(It's worth noting that, contrary to what this guy claims, the discovery of nympho-monkeys has no bearing on Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection, and not much on his theory of sexual selection either. The entire 'Darwin wrong' thing hinges on a misconception that he thought females were fluffy. Frankly anybody writing anything else at that time would have been lynched, and I fail to see how a man who'd noticed how insects customarily rip the head of males when mating could see females as evolutionarily limited to being the 'passive' partner. Frankly this guy is just trying to make a name for himself, and has been quoted out of context to selll a story.

Much to the disappointment of all the creationists who misread it, only to be corrected by a load of people like me after about five seconds...)

That was a bit strange. Especially the bit about the tails. Other than that it sounded like a typical night out in Manchester, except the conversation is probably more interesting.

now, now, librarian baiting isn't nice. It's almost enough to start a flame war. A very well organised one, all neatly labelled...

Don't know about the lifestyles, but there was an amusing (?) story about Japanese Macacques in 'New Scientist' (I think...) a few years ago. Apparently not only do they still raid farmers' fields & orchards, as they've "always" done, but nowadays they've learnt how to use plastic shopping bags to carry away more loot! Now that's progress...

Oi! You dissing Librarians? Outside, now!
(Expells spirit of wrath)
I'm a busness librarian. I file INFORMATION, not books. I do research. I do more filing. I file magazines. My life was so dull before I was made redundant, I was glad to use the illegal methods of research!
Ok.... I filed some books.

Is this a flame, or only a spark? ;)



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

Illegal methods of research? Do tell.

You know - dissecting chickens to read their intestines when google is down, drinking vast quantities of hallucigenic tuber juice from a rare amazonian plant, conducting research into the gastrointestinal diseases of Aquila chrysaetos... That sort of thing, I'd guess...

I was nearly a librarian. Got a job interview at Stratford library as soon as my A levels had finished (didn't tell them that I was only planning on working till January, then heading off to Oz for 6 months...). I actually got to the top 2 in the shortlist, but they decided that at only just 18 I hadn't had enough 'life experience'. How much life experience do you need to deal with books? Its not as though I wanted to go exploring in them.

But then PSD's dad got me a job, so I was able to afford my travelling anyway :)



I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.
