ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 5th August 2001 
The Cheeseboard
The Cheeseboard ... 
        or is it?

Aha! I see you've popped by for a light snack. Welcome to the Cheeseboard. It's just like a bulletin board but tastes better.

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very brightly my dear Unknown Visitor. A journey of a thousand words begins with just one letter.

Sometime you have to make tough choices. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous stilton or to stick to the onions. Better the devil you know.

Look, they're just books. Ok?

These ramblings have been brought to you by Moonglum Clampflower MornC, Muse of Ego, and Keeper of the lamp. Also known as Happinose for a brief period of self discovery. I wonder how much time people spend staring in to their fridge looking for something or in some cases coz there is nothing on the television. laugh

I have returned from one such journey and it's amazing what you can find in dark recesses and places of storage. Why not tell me of your Journey?

Looking for places to go and people to see? Then you've come to the right place. These are some of the major places which are a good starting point. If you are looking for something specific then you could always search for it.

Questions: Can I just take this opportunity to ask you what sort of a world is it in which we live where a man dressed up as a BAT ... gets all my press?. jester I'm sure you have questions yourself. Here's a couple of answers for starters.

Some profound thoughts
Why Moonglum? I overheard a conversation about a book called "Elric at the end of time", during which I heard talk of a character call Moonglum, Elric's now departed sidekick. I thought it was just such a fantasticly original name that I have taken this name for all my points of presence on the web. cool Since then I have found other Moonglums all over the place, over 60 in with hotmail addresses. It would seem that Moonglum is anything but original. steam

Clampflower?!!?? I went to see Motorhead in concert at the Civic Hall in Guildford, Surrey. They were painfully loud! The following day my head was like the bell tower of NotreDame Cathedral. I went to work and got a phone call from a Ms Lamplow. This name with the additions of whistles and bells from the previous night seeped in to my brain as Clampflower, weird much to the amusement of my colleagues.

H2G2 continues to be the worldwide eclectic collective of argumentative, fiery and, at the very least, quite strange personalities. erm Make a comment and wait for the flaming to start, assuming you can actually log in and find a page that works. cross

It used to be good didn't it? Where has all the magic gone? I suppose all good things come to an end. wah

I'm not leaving H2G2. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. I'm just gonna give it a rest for a while. If you need to get hold of me then leave a message after the bleep ... bleep

Silk Boxers
Nov 14, 2003


Day 8 and it's starting to get better. The first thing I noticed was intense itching at three in the morning ... so I scratched!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!

That's when it got really sore. Sort of snuck up on me when I was asleep and caught me unawares. Ok this is time for phase two drugs. It's time for the Calamine lotion. A word of warning though, don't drink it! It also sets like concrete after having very little effect. cross

We're due to see Find Nemo at the Cinema and I've had it with the plastic sheeting. It gets stuck to you skin and pulls so not really that effective if you want to move at all. Then it gets very sweaty. sadface

Solution number two in things to wear ... Silk Boxer Shorts. Black of course. winkeye The waistband was a bit of a problem so wore them a bit high (just call me squeaky), but they did the trick slightly better than the plastic ... which is nice.

After all this is over, I shall have to invest in a silk bodysuit just in case. laugh

Plastic Bags
Nov 10, 2003


Ok, day 6 of Shingles is starting to loose it's novelty value. My lower stomach, hip and bum on my left hand side look like a turkey basted in salad cream which in turn has had a blow torch blasted over it. You know how paint blisters when you put those paint stippers on it, well it's a bit like that, but red. Sore? Imagine that someone gently scrapes your skin with a nutmeg grater. That's what a T shirt feels like. That, the ache and occasional stabbing pain. (Please leave sympathy after the bleep)

bleep

AHA! Ever the scientific mind at work. When you examine any woven material closely enough it will appear rough. What I needed was something smoother than a fifty year old Scottish malt whiskey rather than fabric to cover the skin. Yes, the very thing. I cut the plastic bag in half creating a single sheet of plastic, wrapped it around my affected parts and then put clothes on. Ok I rustle ... a lot ... but at least the nutmeg grater has quit. I can now look forward to walking about and sweating.

Hoorah for science. Asda, here we come.

Sick as a dawg
Nov 6, 2003


I have been diagnosed with Shingles cross . Very sore. Just goes to show that tidying up can cause some serious deseases. However, life goes on and I get two weeks off work biggrin ... which is nice.

On a lighter note, there are many buzzwords in today's business world. However, many people often ask for a simple explanation of their meaning. Here's some definitions that most men will understand:

1) You're at a party and a beautiful woman walks up to you and says, "I'm fantastic in bed." - That's Direct Marketing.

2) You're at a party with a bunch of friends and a beautiful woman walks up to you and points to an equally beautiful friend of hers and says, "She's fantastic in bed." - That's Advertising.

3) At a party you give a beautiful woman your telephone number. The next day she calls and says, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed." - That's Telemarketing.

4) You're at a party and a beautiful woman walks over to you and says, "May I," and reaches up to straighten your tie, lightly brushing her breast against your arm, and then says, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed." - That's Public Relations.

5) You're at a party and see a beautiful woman. You walk over to her and say, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." - That's Brand Recognition.

6) You're at a party and see a beautiful woman. You talk her into going home with your friend. - That's a Marketing Representative.

7) Your friend can't satisfy her so she calls you. - That's Tech Support.

8) You're on your way to a party when you realize that there are beautiful women everywhere. So you start shouting at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!" - That's Spam.

It's all downhill from here
Oct 1, 2003


So you think that you're a bit sad then? You've maybe got a collection of model cars, you play Dungeons and Dragons or perhaps you like skipping or something.

Think again.

Not only do some people collect dull things, but they make web sites out of them.

http://www.pencils.com/

... they are not alone ...

http://www.infofreako.com/jad/enpitsu-e.html

but the coup de gras is ...

http://www.pencilpages.com/

... which boasts a gallery and philosophy pages The list is endless. Pages and pages of ...

http://www.the-pencil-place.freeserve.co.uk/pen_phys.htm
http://dir.yahoo.com/Recreation/Hobbies/Collecting/Pencil_Sharpeners/
http://www.pencilcollector.org/membership.htm

... and then there are the pencil sharpener collectors.

http://www.keyworlds.com/c/collecting-pencil_sharpeners.htm

It doesn't stop there. There are other things that people should be ashamed of doing, but instead they build web sites. Things such as International Cup Stacking ...

http://www.speedstacks.com/
http://www.worldcupstackingassociation.org/
http://www.cr.k12.ia.us/trum/Murray/cup_stacking.htm
http://mr-jim.com/cupstacking.htm

... and the movies that go with them.

Make it stop. Make it stop!! headhurts
