A wee short joke for yer librarian mates
Posted Dec 18, 2008
Wonder if this will make it past the filters.
A bloke walks into a Glasgow library and says to the prim librarian,
'Excuse me Miss, dey ye hiv ony books on suicide?'
To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says,
'Fook off, ye'll no bring it back!'

The way to a librarian’s heart.
Posted Dec 11, 2008
Two mature students pop in to see me on their way to their evening class.
“I do hope you’ll drop over and see us when you lock up – we’re having a Christmas do.”
“Yes do come, we’ve got lots of .”
Well I might just happen to drop by.

How do you get the star on top of the Christmas tree?
Posted Dec 7, 2007
I’ve just received the college library’s Christmas tree for this year. As ever the staff at our garden centre (we’re predominantly an agricultural and countryside based college) have done me proud. I’ve been given a gorgeous, shapely tree with branches at an ideal angle for hanging baubles.
The problem however – the tree is 8ft tall at least. Even breaking various health and safety rules (the boss isn’t about today) I can’t reach the top of the tree, or reach it sufficiently near the top to bend the tree down so I can reach it.
Any suggestions as to how I get the star on?
Oh, and any suggestions of finding a helpful caretaker with a long stepladder will be met with . I’ve been waiting a year and two months now for the light bulb in my office to be replaced!

*opens door*
Come right in and make yourselves at home. Please ignore the pile of boxes that are still littering the floor.
We've moved. We're in, and we're nearly unpacked.

Its a busy old life.
Posted Mar 27, 2007
I’ve been away from hootoo for far too long. I hope everyone’s ok and that I haven’t missed anything exciting.
Work continues as normal – but on the home front life has become rather hectic. B and I have found a house, and after waiting for the Solicitor to get the paperwork moving I’ve just heard this morning that all being well we should be getting the keys on Friday.
That means we’re actually going to have to do some packing.
