Demon Drawer

Cannot believe the sad news I heard today.

Back in time U40382 aka Peregrin was one of the first researchers I got to know when all around here was goo.

In May 2000 at the London meet up I met him IRL, but he was cruelly taken from us on Firday, doing one of the things he grew to love.

So long mate, and thanks for all the memories

Good to be back

I missed my tenth Hootooversary on the 17th December.

I was enjoying a considerable nice lunch at the time, having just returned home to Northern Ireland for Christmas at the time.

What has changed in that time?

Well I have at least 20 entries (10 solo) edited on the guide for each of my years here. Though in recent years the frequency has dropped of.

I came out to my parents while I was active on Hootoo, thanks to some support from people on here. I went back in soon after and spent 5 years with the lovely Fashion Cat who earlier this year married Babel 17.

I moved to Scotland in 2001 and am still here. And am not actively involved once again in the Liberal Democrats. I've also (and this is probably the real reason for my inactivity here) taken to blogging. You can guess it in the last 4 and half years I've been at that there are almost 2000 blog posts on my blog which according to Wikio is one of the top 50 most influencial political blogs in the UK as we end the decade.

So I'll have a (a nice smiley which my drinking habit in the F&F inspired) and a BB* chaser.

Looking forward to Towel Day tomorrow and the SRG meeting up in Standing Orders on George Street Edinburgh.

Hope to see some of you Hoopy Frood's there.

By one reckoning of the Top 100 bloggers I have snuck into the top 100 on the Wikio charts. http://www.wikio.co.uk/blogs/top These are measured my links through on a month to month basis so it is based on how many other's find what you write important enough to link too. So I am quite impressed to have reached up to this level.
