Created: 12th December 2001 
(1 x 8 x 8 x 0)+ 6 x 9 = 42

And before you say anything about my arithmetic, 6 x 9 is a worthy Hitchhiker's reference. Trust me.

Could you be in Shrewsbury on the 21st of November? Fancy meeting up with some fellow Researchers? Then head to here and keep me company!

Hi. I'm Vip. It's pronounced like the word 'zip', just to clear up any confusion.

I've been around here for over seven years now, although I have been known to head out for an intergalactic cruise around lunchtime. In all that time I've managed to get ten articles into the Guide; Laziness, Western Poi, Bellringing, Anglican Psalm Singing, The Royal School of Church Music, Xena: Warrior Princess - An Overview, an article about where I grew up, Blewbury and I've co-authored an entry for Ealing. Most recently I wrote How To Answer the Telephone in the UK and What To Do When Stranded In Shrewsbury.

This place will drive me nuts.
2 Weeks Ago

I've just asked our maintainance department to come and remove the arms from my office chair so I can have something approaching correct posture at my desk. It requires an allen key and about five minutes.

They won't do it, because apparently they can't alter anything away from the manufacturer's specifications. The arms are *optional*. Yet because they person before me chose to have arms, they are recommending that we buy a new chair. Seriously.

Thankfully I appear to have got a chap to come up and have a look. Fingers crossed he'll bring an allen key.

I managed to spoil a perfectly good tile bag by attempting to put in eyelets. Turns out the hole it punches somehow is bigger than the eyelets that come with it. rolleyes Ah well. I'll just have to stitch them up by hand. Bummer.

A Shrewsbury meet
Sep 30, 2009

A few of you have expressed an interest in coming to Shrewsbury for a meet at various points since I moved here, so this evening I thought I'd finally do so.

The general plan is for me to take you on a tour of Shrewsbury, and then of its drinking establishments. biggrin
