Hello! Welcome to the Personal Space of Bob McBob.

• Life
"Without a God, life is only a matter of Opinion"
-Douglas Adams, Speech at Digital Biotica 2, Cambridge

• The Universe
"Never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a thirty ton Mega-Elephant with bronchial pneumonia"
- Zaphod Beeblebrox

• Everything
"Line dancing is like synchronised swimming, only without the fun and drowning."
- Kate Adie, Radio 4

I live in England, where it is very green and rains a lot. It does not rain as much as some of the other parts of England, but it rains all the same. Everyone here drinks lots of Tea and other hot beverages.

This is not a good introduction because:
a. It does not tell you anything about me
and
b. It portrays the wonderful country of England as a place where it rains all the time

I'm actually writing this so you don't say: oh, dear. That bloke's not got anything about himself on his personal space. I still haven't anything about myself on my personal space, but it now looks much better. Almost like I made an effort. By the way, do you like the blue top and left bit? You can do this, too: look at Brunel Tag. If you don't know what I'm going on about, it's probably because you're not viewing this in Brunel. If you were, it would be apparent that I have got a nice blue header thing.

No-one will ever read any of this anyway. That's why I put the links at the top so people go: Ooooh! There's an interesting topic, and leave this bit in peace. Here, let me give you an example. If you read this article to the end, please tell me about it - leave a message. Say what a pathetic entry this is. Go on.

Oh, dear. The bit above sounded like Marvin.

Are you still reading this? Haven't you anything better to do than read an article hurling abuse at you? No, thought not.

Congratulations, you have reached the end of this thingy-wotsit. Woo-hoo, yipdie dee and all that. Great. Yeah. Nice one.

Feel free to leave a message after the beep.
Thanks to all those who signed the Save the Albatross petition!

ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

This is where any Journal Entries would appear, if this Researcher had made any. Unfortunately they haven't managed to write anything, which is a shame because their Journal is where they could tell everyone what they've been up to. Is your Journal empty too?
