The library I work in a few days a week is an altogether different affair
I get to almost have heart attacks when I spot msc students plonk bottles of water on books from the seventeenth century. But I also have the freedom to dress them down bluntly. I also get moments when David Attenborough is having a press briefing on the table in front of me, Michael Palin visit to admire a project I spent two years working on, and have the simple joy of helping someone doing a phd or masters find information they need for their research, not least my colleagues in the field doing scientific research.

And no screaming kids, ace :)

Your library sounds nicer....
Can I come there?
I think I would faint dead away if Michael Palin came within 10 feet of me. Love that man to bits...

That sounds
a LOT more civilised than the crèche which was the library I visited in Nottingham before I left.

The fact that I left IS partially related. Partially

P.S. Come back to B3ta, Jahled! We promise not to do many more Flan pics.

Rich on promise
But two FP's in ten years? I think my humous is wonderfully shite

It's much more like the Special Olympics round here in my mind.
