Well I began writing this about a Follogon years ago but I guess some of it still applies so I'll just edit some of it:


So well today I feel as thought I'm dying…I'm not sure if it's
a) Yesterdays Guiness binge [Note: 'yesterdays' Guinness binge was actually about six weeks ago, so I'm mostly over this now...]
b) My new renewed fitness regime
c) The flu [Note: The Flu has been and passed...so I'm mostly over this now...]
d) All of the above

Still shouldn't moan…

So whats hobo been up to in the last few weeks.

Well…
A) Work as per usual
B) V festival.
C) Copenhagen

Work
So work is hectic and getting more hectic and I'm tiring of it now: Some of us work our lily white asses off and others just cruise along doing the minimum letting others pick up their slack. I'm tired of this now so am making a stand by doing the minimum and watching as everyone around us flounders due to my reduced effort…

V Festival,
It, as always, was great.
We go with a great group of people and just drink and chill for the weekend and watch some top bands. This year I dressed as a cheerleader on the Saturday and the colour green on Sunday. Muchos fun. I'm always sad that it has to end…though after spending about three hours helping to push random strangers cars out of the mud I'm glad we finally got home!

Denmark
Copenhagen was cool. The weather was shocking but the city itself is fairly nice. A little small but the Tivolis quite cool and the Zoo was ACE! I got to stroke a Cow!! In fact two different cows! And they moo'd and everything!


So Here's Five random facts about Hobo

• I have a PhD. Yes I'm Dr Hobo. Now grovel before me mere mortals...I'm actually still embarrassed when my Boss refers to me as "Dr Hobo"...

• I have a strange fascination with Cows. It started when I was chased by a herd when I was about twelve. They're big feckers and having a whole field full charge head long toward you made me shit m'self and develop a phobia. However, in a "get a grip of yourself young man" sort of self help moment, after I wandered into a herd of life size fibreglass cows decorated in random ways in Stockholm I decided that I really should try and overcome my fear and ever since I've fallen in love with the bovine beasties... We've got a herd outside our office too (Real ones…) whom I've named and photo everyday…

• I believe Sarcasm is the finest form of wit. It's only classed as the lowest form of wit by people not quick enough or clever enough to use it at its cutting best...

• I love coffee. It needs to be freshly ground every morning. The sound of the coffee grinder shakes me out of my sleepy stupor...

• I recently ran the furthest I've ever run in my life. A mere 7 miles. Not enough to get a medal for a marathon, but enough to outrun a lion. I think...well...I'd have to agree the rules before the race as otherwise it'd probably be over fairly soon. I mean "Three steps, pounce, munch" would probably be the lions chosen strategy, where as I'd be more akin to "stick S.O.T.D on the mp3 player and plod along for an hour"...I must add that I have to stop and walk for a while around the 4.5 mile mark...

They're actually 5 fairly dull facts, but I can't think of any interesting facts to broadcast to the SG world. I guess if there's anything else you'd like to know drop me a line and I'll be only to willing to inform you of the answer...

Catch ya later and lots of Skybluemetropolis luv to y'alls lily white rumps!

Mini E's birthday is next week.

The cat may be large, but he's a complete and utter pussy (if you will). He's very much a lover and not a fighter.

I vote for (d) by the way, although I suspect that (a) and (c) would have no doubt made (b) less likely.

What exactly is it that you do by the way? I'm probably just incredibly ignorant and you have detailled your work intrinsically in previous journals, but I'm going to take the risk of offending you by asking anyway. Maybe if I rephrase to 'what exactly is it that you do by the way doctor hobo' you'll not notice.

Random fact: I stroked a cow for the first time two weeks ago. They're surprisingly soft aren't they? My next mission is to find a curly coated pig to stroke as I saw my first ever curly coats last weekend and they were unbelievably cute. There was no stroking due to an electric fence which may suggest that they're not actually as cute as they appear. Chainmail may be in order.

Sarcasm really is for winners. In fact, people who don't get my sarcasm are probably the group of people that I dislike the most, and I dislike a looooooooooooooooooooot of people y'know?

So.. to summarise - you have a Phd and a large part of your job includes spending time abroad and moaning?

Sounds perfect to me.
