Could I have a new Title, please?

"Head Archaeologist" was a distinction heaped upon me by our late and lamented owner SJ. I never asked for this title and never formally accepted it.

I just went along with the distinction because there was indeed work to be done in salvaging old ATUI threads.

But, apart from tying up few loose ends, that work is now necessarily complete because almost all the ATUI caches have now expired.

So could I have a new Title, please?

I don't much care what it is (within reason).

You most certainly can, suggestions people please?

Morlock-General?

Huh? What's a Morlock? Something like a warlock? Not sure about that.

Oh, wait a minute. HG Wells' future race of subterranean troglodytes in The Time Machine? Got it. If only I WERE the Morlock-General, my working life might a bit more rational, but as things stand I'm only a common Morlock foot-soldier and my working life is completely chaotic.

Weeellll...clever suggestion, felix...but I dunno...

Eddie, weren't you the Head Librarian at the previous ATU?

that is a good title for you, even if it wasn't you.

Head Librarian

i hope i got that right.

Fahrenheit 451 -- about memorizing books before the libraries burn

Quite right, Tats- but that was in the dim and distant days when Nash's title proclaimed that she lusted after me.

We've all passed a lot of water since then, as Sam Goldwyn once so sagely remarked.

I'd like to shed this fusty bibliophile image and branch out a bit...if you know what I mean...something more windswept and interesting was what I vaguely had in mind.

Very appropriate on one level, Pinz, but Section 12 of LU's strict Fire Regulations- as set out in the 2005 UK parliamentary Act- would never allow it.

The Regulations be hanged--that's what I always say.

How about: 'The Guardian' ?

I liked 'Head Librarian' and thought it worked well.

^^

Bah!

We're talking windswept here.

We're talking pale and interesting.

'Pale and Interesting' it is then.

If you really must, but it omits the meteorological factor.

"Pale, windswept and interesting" might possibly be acceptable, in the absence of any better offers.

Pale and Interesting is good.


eddie, from your photo, you looked pale, and you are very interesting.
