I was born on a Thing (oops that was nearly Thong!) and lost my virginity on a Thing!
Yes I think this is exactly the thing (sorry) that I was hoping for when I signed up for h2g2 and I'm sure that I can come up with a suitably grandiose, nay pompous, name.
Watch this space!

You're all b*****ds! Now I'm suffering from stress as I feel the weight of expectation bearing down upon me...
But I'm going to have to think about it.
Oh yes and it's going to take a while
(Sniggers at the prospect of 7.5 million years of pondering - that'll show 'em)
Actually, some ideas have just started rearing their ugly heads out of the murk...

No, please do draw up a chair. Or should that be sofa? Or several?

Depends what's on the plate, surely...
--------------------------------------------------

I've had enough pondering, a fortnight in Turkey has not brought any further inspiration on the name, and I can't take the pressure of all the eyes - I think I'll go with my last effort.

So, guys, should I wait for my official doffing before I start using the new mode of address or should I wait? Do I get a certificate or anything? Something to go with the 25m swimming one would be nice.
And maybe I can get J'au aemne to give me another space dust donut in celebration...

(Sorry, not up to speed on those link thingies yet, nor smilies - needs more of my time than I can afford even with Displacement Activity at full procrastination power.)

smiley - erm

Ooh look, a smiley! Better have a smiley - ale to celebrate! Can I have it in a straight glass please?
