Researcher 139239: 1 + (3 x 9) + 2 + 3 + 9 = 42I've been a follower of The Guide from radio days, through TV days, then in print, and now at H2G2.
I tend to hitch-hike around the planet in a mixture of short visits (lots of them) and long-term moves that have a Ford Prefect-like interval of 10 to 15 years between "lifts".
At the end of January 2003, after a 17-year stay, I left Perth, Western Australia, (see Perth W.A. ) which has a great climate, but a time zone that kept me out of sync with most places on the planet. Mary and I took the next "lift" and moved to the UK. We are now in WIltshire, thoroughly enjoying life, the universe and everything.
A few other favourite places on Sol 3 are: Southwold, Suffolk, U.K. , Englands Lane (before they pulled half the shops down) in Belsize Park, Hampstead , London , also Prague (especially during the Prague Spring) and a village near Brussels called Zaventem
My interests include:
- visiting new places and enjoying being at home,
- maintaining alcohol levels and sober reflection,
- real life and the Internet,
- science facts and science fiction,
- Lego and individuality,
- birdwatching and cats,
- stimulating conversation and the comfortable silence between friends,
- logically consistent paradoxes (as you might have guessed)
- and music.
I am a MuG - a member of the h2g2 Musicians Guild,
which is a virtual club for musicians, singers, composers, and other
music afficionados at h2g2. I play piano (mainly classical, but also pop), compose, and sing tenor (very badly) when there is safety in the numbers of a large choir. I also work on some music projects in the h2g2 University, two of which are complete, and published as part of the Guide. I'm very pleased with them (but then I might be biased) ...do take a look at them, please. One of them is French Music 1870 - 1945 ; the other is Baroque Music.
The Lost Poetry Office will take great care of your favourite poems. Would you like to dedicate a poem to someone? Leave a message at the Office ... or just go there and read some of the dedications and poems - go on - it makes a pleasant break.
Do drop in for a chat. Otherwise I can be found at odd hours in this bar and\or the Crossed Purposes Pub and\or Cabin 13 - The Lighthouse Bar - usually in the current round.
