Finally.........
Posted May 7, 2000
......Ahhhhh, it's good to come home.
after months and months of extended deadlines, project targets etc. I finally manage to devote some time to the important things in life....e.g H2G2....and .....ummmmm....well.....H2G2 really.
On taking a quick look around I see - as expected - that 'The Guide' has evolved at an astonishing rate since I last was here...Lots and Lots of new people - wonder if i'll ever be able to catch up - and even more new projects. Guess I'll have to take some time to 'lurk' in order to catch up on things.

Go to spend a couple of weeks away without a computer (field research). How will I survive without a daily visit to H2G2? everything changes so quickly here - a good thing - but it means I'll have to spend hours/days/weeks even catching up with events when I come back. I NEED a WAP device......SOB!

Holidays, are they worth it?

Sometimes I think not. Especially if on your return you find your mailbox overswamped, and realise how many people you've managed to miss meeting in 'The Guide'.
Anyway, I'm back - albeit temporarily, for the moment, so to speak, as it were, don't you know.
Oh, it feels like it's all been so long - so much has happened in the meantime.
Anyway, hope you all had a great christmas, and look forward to celebrating Hogmanay.

Defeat

'...and sent them homewards.....'
Unfortunately not, this time, and I don't imagine theres the slightest possiblity of winning at wembley on wednesday either. This match always raises a curious issue with me. I'm a half-breed, that is half scottish, half english, yet I can't help but feel dissapointed when Scotland loses against England in football - even though I don't really like football.
As far as I'm aware, out of 85 matches played between England and Scotland, that makes the score 45 - 40 in Englands favour, not too bad a record considering the difference in population. Although I would imagine this will increase to 46 - 40 on Wednesday.
On thing I don't agree with - and something I see all too many times among Scottish Supporters - is when England play any other team in any event, and Scotland have been knocked out of the event - many will support Englands opposing team. Despite the rivalry, which in most cases is taken in good humour, I think more of us should get behind the British team in such circumstances.

Friday night. 10:30 pm. I should be having a laugh, a few jars, a few 'putting the world to rights' discussions with some mates. But nooooooo.....I have to work tonight.
Life!
