Trilobite Man
There's a lecturer from the Earth Sciences department in Bristol who goes to the local open mic nights and sings self-penned Led Zeppelin-esque odes to trilobites. It's interesting listening and I wish I had as much passion for my research, though at a recent gig when he approached our table my boyfriend muttered: "for god's sake don't make eye contact; I can't bear any more fucking fossils", which makes me think it isn't for everyone.

Any old excuse
to keep reminding us that you've got a boyfriend, eh CHCB?

...and did I really see a post where you didn't seem to be totally against the idea of having kids last week?

heh,
the irony there is that my relationship is so fucking rocky it's at least Rocky VI: Rocky Balboa. I should change the word "boyfriend" in case he sees it and panics. I mean, it's only been a year or so...

I'm recruiting for stable, normal, sexy hot types. They're a bit thin on the ground though.

Edit: yeah, I'm all for the having of kids. But I'd keep 'em locked up 'til they were old enough to behave politely and contribute coherently to interesting conversations. But I won't be having them just yet (see: Rocky VI, above).

"mental, warped, sexy hot types".

Or "mental, warped, desperate" types

Or just "anyone (must have overdeveloped sense of cynicsm)".

Irish R&B would be worse than the real thing. I have mental images of Kerry farmers loaded with bling in a shiny new pimped-up Massey Ferguson.

Can't bear Big Brother

Booty?
I now have a mental[1] image of CHCB waving a large chest of doubloons and pieces of eight while shouting "Arrrrrrrrr!"

[1] not hatstand mental, the other kind.

I could do that too, if you like
If I get to keep the booty.

(My chest isn't that large though. It used to be, but then I spent a summer living on water and noodles and I lost all my cleavage.)

Who is he? The lecturer, not your boyfriend
Ok, him as well... :)

My post-doc supervisor's other half works in Earth Sci at Brizzle... I doubt it would be him though...
