#268. genuine gerries

Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks of homemaking in the new 'pad'. Buying toilet brushes and woks and whatnot doesn't leave all too much time for gabbin'. Although it is very pleasant to arrive home from work and see the whole evening stretching out. And, without a TV, it's refreshing to be able to do nothing in particular except perhaps spend an enjoyable hour cooking your dinner and leafing over the remains of the weekend papers.

Most smrt types will have gathered from all this job and flat acquisition that recent plans to go live somewhere foreign have been postponed. The reasons for this being purely practical given the difficulty certain adequately qualified people have had finding a job. Add to that reports from Genuine Gerries that work is very hard to come by, and my decision is simple: knock around here for a while and notch up some invaluable experience. Much as I dislike one or two of the old facets of contemporary Irish society, it's good to actually have a job and live it for a bit as an urbanite and use said free time productively to do worthwhile stuff such as read Indian cookery books, peruse Laser's shelves and learn foreign languages.

Also, apologies to Malcolm for my unusually high centre of gravity and any other wrongdoings on my part in his drunken tragedy.

Be aware that part of my problem is and remains general fecklessness combined with a tendency to spend days on end hacking XEmacs. Not a combination that results in my sending out many CVs.

That said, being able to speak German well would [will, in the future] make this side of things much easier, I think.

I don't have a new beamer, and if I did, I wouldn't be parking it in your scabby parking space.

I'd keep my own parking space rolled up in the boot, and I'd have a small West Indian Gentleman to unroll it for me, (I'd keep him folded up in the glovebox).

Mackers found your website through a perl script. Thanks for the help. As an Irish American, it is nice to have a genelogical link to the old country. Dig the website and the commentary. Good talent you have, keep up the good work. It will pay off.

My West Indian Glovebox dwelling Man Servant is name Horatio.

He is a well travelled man, and the exploits of his younger days are recorded in a volume of amusing Limericks.
