The place where Pheroneous dwellsHe is trying to enjoy it here again. He needs a place to pause. You could place him towards the pedantic and humourless end of the spectrum of human behaviour, and is often referred to as a BOF1. A description he is comfortable with. There are others of a similar persuasion here. There is, for him, and for them, a safe haven for the less excitable. The BOF Inn. Please feel free to pop in and see how things are coming along. Please do not disturb anyone apparently sleeping. Please take promises of completion with a pinch of salt. Urgency is a not a concept that comes easily to BOFs. Procrastination, on the other hand, is.. As BOFs go, he could be described as a cantankerous2 sort. Since Rupert, the Inn is less frequented than it was, and he appeared to be on a mission to destroy it. He acquired, with the aid of the charming witch Mari-Rae the gift of invisibility and used use this to spy upon other researchers as they went about their various nefarious deeds in the hope of blackmailing them by threatening them with exposure to the moderation team. Unfortunately, everyone was far too nice and well behaved. He robbed a bank, in the next village along from Vavoom thus raising funds in order to purchase a large amount of explosives intending to blow up the BOFInn. He pretended to relent, and apparently decided to abscond with said funds. Somehow, though, his mind had become contorted and, whether by a mere whim or fancy, whether as part of a convoluted plan, he... well, you can find out what happened yourself. Suffice it to say that he did not destroy the BOFInn, nor did he hurt any of the residents. By means yet to be explained, and for reasons that must be obscure for the moment, he returned. If you like Laphroag whisky3, and have hitch-hiked in Spain, if you like chocolate ice-cream, if you have half a brain....or were those not the words...it may be you and he are from the same planet. On the other hand,...could he have been be an imposter?.

So, return he did.
A busier life means less time to spend here.
A disciplined, and time restrained, approach will keep me away from conversations that upset me.
I shall endeavour to behave myself!
Time to move on
Jun 11, 2001
I have enjoyed my time here immensely. There are some very very good people (and other lifeforms) on h2g2, I hope that it goes from strength to strength.
Before I found this place, I had never written to be read, to an audience. That I have enjoyed immensely, and I hope that I have contributed a good and interesting variety of entries. I also hope, he added mischievously, that "The Joy of Socks" will eventually find acceptance, as it stands. Not because it pushes at any limits (Thats a btw), but because it contains some sentences and phrases that I enjoyed writing and still enjoy reading. It can be my legacy.
I hope that I will be judged to have contributed. Both the BOFInn and Camelot have lives of their own and will surely survive me. For survive me they must.
For me, the time has come to gracefully disappear whence I came. Three reasons.
I have found myself spending too much time here. I have become dependent! It has to stop. I have work to do.
Last week I came across stuff I didn't like so much (on a thread called Whats wrong with Americans). Its happened before, (On this same thread, and on a similar one aimed at the French) and I have brushed it off and returned to my little corner of h2g2. I have always found prejudice and bigotry difficult. As I get older, I find it more difficult to understand. I don't want to be associated with it. Worse, it made me rude and petulant, in this case to Peta, and I don't like to see that in myself. I wish I could be more tolerant. I cannot.
I have been moderated, for a bit of nonsense in a shady glade. Now I understand about moderation and I certainly don't want to re-open any debates. But, when such narrow minded nonsense as mentioned above is allowed to pass unnoticed I find it difficult to find myself not trusted to make correct judgements as to how far to go with a little bit of frippery.
Tomorrow, I shall wind up a few threads, say goodbye to a few friends, and edit my page. I hope that it will be allowed to stand here for a while. I don't want it erased. I am proud of (much of) what I have said and done here.
Goodbye.
That was then, This is now.

Camelot appears to have settled down nicely. The BOF Inn staggers along nicely. I don't think I'll blow it up after all. Just keep the money. Whilst we wait for 'socks' to get published, I must admit to returning to it repeatedly, just to change a word or add a link. It seems I have to have a little socks every now and then. Is this a socks addiction?

A winsomely expressed wish
May 15, 2001
So we are settling down, post Rupert, with most of the threads back and little now to complain of, and then DNA goes and pops his clogs. I cannot imagine my condolences to be of value, so I haven't placed them anywhere. Nevertheless, I am touched by the loss, and can remember the astonishment with which I first listened to the first radio series.
I see I still have one unacceptable entry (Planograms). I shall have to decide whether to delete or re-draft. Had a lot of fun with 'socks'.
My scouting activity has been interesting. I have to say that now I am obliged to read many more entries, I find many gems among them, but I am disappointed by most.
There are a lot of cats around here, aren't there? Am I missing a connection?

A gentle moan
Mar 20, 2001
It is truly a GOOD THING to have the guide back. Celebrating by spending far too much unproductive time here (In terms of income generation). Will be even better when TPTB have returned all the threads. The BOFInn remains bar-less (in the sense of de-barred), for the moment. Its a curious thing this moderation. Not the fact that it is done. Can't blame Auntie for wanting a good look through, if its going to be in her name. Its the keenness and enthusiasm that puzzles. Cautions and reminders everywhere. A strange urge for self-flagellation. I looked at the front page entry on the Beach Boys solo projects today, and, following a thread conversation it seems many integral links are removed as, presumably, 'commercial', and many knickers were twisted as a result. Looked again at an old entry of mine (singers) and find essential links removed there too. I can't find 'my' original yet, but when that appears I shall be cross if the same thing has happened. That copy I consider as 'mine' not 'the Guide's'. They have their edited version. What a nice polite grumble! Pheroneous is now softened and establishmentised anyway. A mysterious badge has appeared as if by magic! I will be delving in your drawers - for forgotten masterpieces - what did you think I meant?
