BBC Focus Magazine

[EzBloke]

Hello everyone!

I've turned up late to this wonderful magazine... sorry - I have only been reading it for the last six months. A subscription request is in the annual Santa begging letter which is good. (The alternative was a description in the Santa Leggings annual and no-one wants to go there...) I think it was the bright colours that attracted me to it, like a magpie to a flame. Oh... wait... no, that's not right... anyway love the mag, and will get on everyone's nerves on the forum with my ignorance (see above...)

PS - Thought you should know; this is the only magazine that I read from cover to cover; every article is absorbing. Although some of the adverts are quite dull. But that's my biggest criticism. Oh and the sports page on the back is always missing... sigh.

Hello there Ez and welcome to the forum. Nice to see you are getting down to posting already. Looking forward to reading lots more.

Hello Ez and welcome to the forum, good to have you around and posting, keep it up.

[EzBloke]

Thanks both!

Although I'm fairly sure you'll be changing your mind soon enough... I do tend to go on a bit...

[EzBloke]

Oh, and what does it mean when I sign on when it says my sig has been synced with... rats, I forget what it's synced with now... ?

Oh yes, we are well used to that don't you worry. Serendipity Publishing for example, now he knew how to go on.

So what is this 'syncing' feeling you are getting? Sounds most odd, although some folks have suffered problems with this site so it might be worth looking into.

Never seen syncing meself, anyhoo, welcome aboard

hmmm did it sync into the sewer hence the rats

[Flakkarin]

Welcome! Tell us a bit about yourself. Or a lot if that's more your style

[EzBloke]

Hmmm, no-one else had that "synced" thingy-bob then?
I shall, as a consummate professional, duly ignore it until something drops off... please don't let anything drop off... well... nothing important anyway...

The rats came of their own accord; as far as I can tell, they are looking for a sinking ship to practice bar-diving and such frivolities...

Flakkarin;
Um... well...

On paper I am a well informed, witty raconteur (as opposed to a racketeer, which would get me in trouble… if this was the nineteen-twenties…) with a good conversational manner and broad but fluid opinions. I have been known to wax lyrical about musical cylinders from the eighteen-eighties* but tend to spend my online time building up a cult following… every single one of them waiting to type “you can’t say that. Did he just say that? Oh. My. God. He can’t say that and get away with it. Oh… wait… no, he didn’t.”

In real life, however, I'm a 6' 6" toned and muscular fantasist with an IQ of "Google" plus an amazing narcoleptic power over anyone I can corner into a conversation, which would be why I’m always online, really…

My favourite colour is “puce” and, whilst I may be forty-three years old I have a childish sense of humour which can best be described as “pathetic.” Sorry that shouldn’t have read “can best be” it should have read “is constantly”. I always get those two mixed up…

My favourite science is the one I understand. And when I finally understand one, I will certainly let everyone know. I, too, am an Agbangstic; having never experienced the Big Bang personally I deny its existence… I don’t really but I thought if people stated using the term “Agbangstic”, I might get in the dictionary as having invented it… Oh, who am I kidding it is so not going to catch on. Sigh.

What else… um… educationally speaking; I’m not. I may appear to be but I refer you to my IQ listed above. I have four ‘O’ Levels. Good one’s I’ll grant you, but four there are; two English ones and Math... (There is a joke in there if your life is so empty you are willing to go hunting for it.) All four are at the grade “mediocre”.

There. S’me.

Ez, consider yourself well and truly home ok.

(When I can find a profile picture that is not hideous I shall duly implement it.)

[M Paul Lloyd]

I tried that, but I couldn't bear the sight of my smug grinning self staring back at me all the time.

[EzBloke]

Oh thank god for that!
I was going to say you need to stop with the diet...

[EzBloke]

Does anyone else find the "Tag Cloud" sphere on the "home" page fascinating?
I've just spent half an hour whizzing it around in all directions - it is very very cool.

(I posted this here because there doesn't seem to be a forum called "non-science drivel" which is technically wher I would spend my days.
