Stoat - Where?

Having been here two months, I’ve now acquired two nicknames. I’ve been christened Beaker, after the tall, thin muppet with a big nose. Fortunately, it’s only used when people are drunk. Unfortunately, that’s roughly 50% of the time. It’s probably my fault, as it was me who mentioned the similarity first, but I didn’t expect to be taken seriously. Thanks Trev.

People have already begun noticing that I drink pretty slowly, and so my other name is Captain Half Cans. Apparently this is a Canadian nickname given to people who have difficulty finishing their drinks. Anybody who knows me knows that this is a tremendous slur on my drinking ability, right? Right?

I still don’t have home broadband, but have at least found a place where I can use the internet relatively cheaply. As a result, there is now finally something to read!

If you’re interested in seeing what where I live is like, you can also find a few photos here. As soon as I can, I’ll put a gallery in place so they can actually be seen directly in the browser. My programming’s a bit rusty though and I don’t have regular access, so it mightn’t be for a little bit!
