back from mudmeet. rather entertaining. also knackering. finished The Catcher In The Rye up there, and then started Frankenstein on the way down. the rather dissimilar textual styles (although i note they are both written as first-person narratives/correspondence) have vaguely tempted me to rewrite Frankenstein in a more modern mode of speech. Robert Walton's first message to his sister could be thus:

Hi Maggie. Got into St Petersburg yesterday, very cold. Planning to discover Northwest Passage. Been whaling lots, even got hired as first mate. Off to Arkhangelsk in a couple of weeks! Will keep in touch. x Rob.

Except translate that to txt.

upcoming week currently rather quiet:

• Cafe Scientifique (urban foxes) on Tuesday.
• Zeitgeist II on Sunday.

you will note absence of any form of pub quiz. :( I'll be happy to do Thursday's again if other people go, though don't want to turn up there on my own.

Happy birthdays to doctor_tron and to William Shakespeare!

One of you two might be able to help me out actually, because I'm not getting this uncyclopedia business: of the five articles I have contributed in my history of "having a go" four have been deleted and the other was tagged as "NRV" back in March. Am I just not funny enough or something? Or is my head too entrenched in Wikipedia to be effective?

The one contribution I made that hasn't been deleted is at http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Heterosexuality and even then I didn't create the article to start with...

although i haven't seen your stuff (obviously, what with it having been deleted), this may be because much of the userbase is silly untravelled americans. the template {{British}} may serve as a warning. ;)
