Hootsmon Headlines

Hi folks. As Mr Cochrane is on holiday, I now find myself with a wee window to catch up with my blog, Dorothy...
My repaired  computer is working fine (thanks Jamie) perhaps even a tad faster than before; it certainly doesn't overheat like it used to.

So, to business. Any residents of Edinburgh indulging in a wee bit of schadenfreude about the Olympics? The tramworks will be as nothing compared to the Zil lanes, terrorist searches and corporate clothing circumscriptions...fortunately for the Londoners it will only last for a couple of weeks.

We have another two years.

Oh Lord.

Some things never change

Did this some years ago...change Saturday to Sunday.

"Why haven't I been posting of late?", some kind person  asked me by e mail.

Several reasons; personal, work and yet another dead computer, hence this quick rehash.

Peace and love chumrades.

Hootsmon Headlines

The 21st century. Revolution, inspired by equality for all, has deposed tyrants all over North Africa.

Then along comes Islamists and people who think others should show deference to them because they were born superior, due to 'blood' apparently.

SNP Black Ops.

I think Alan's employers should be told, don't you?

Okay I faked it, but only after Mr Cochrane had admitted he'd worn one to get into the launch of the YES campaign.
Or was he aware of another photograph and launched a pre-emptive strike...?

I'm so fed up with London...Olympics, Jubilee, BBC news, even if it's meant to be from Salford.

Stamped Out

Well folks, for those of you who are still mildly interested in what I ramble here, a wee word of explanation.

I am no longer Conan the Librarian.

After a good chunk of three decades working in the book pushing business, I have another job.

From being one of the oldest and most experienced people in my workplace, I've become 'the' oldest and least experienced.

Yet.

I now don't have to be on the look out for: Groups of teens, junkies drug users who have just scored, junkies drug users who are on the chore*, jakies** who are drinking/falling asleep/ pissing themselves, but most of all the constant horde of  non council tax payers wanting 'their' god given free internet.

And I haven't even touched on the ten percent of library users that still want books...

So, folks, sorry if I haven't been posting enough, but I'm sure "Conan the Admin Slash IT Guy for the Third Floor" will get into his stride soon.

* Chore: An Edinburgh drug users (not meant to use the word junkie; I forgot) daily regime, housebreaking, begging, shoplifting and mugging those  even weaker than themselves.

** Jakie: Journalists, retired journalists, ex-journalists who work for the Scotsman, wannabe journalists who work for the Daily Record; alcoholics.
