What Geography is really all about

Everyone always takes the piss out of me for being a Geogapher and just doing colouring in and all that crap. They have precisely no idea what my PhD is all about, nor how GIS and/or Remote Sensing, spatial modelling, uncertainty and error analysis or anything that sounds clever like that operates.

So here are two documents that show…

Devon Malcolm retires

He was one of my favourite bowlers as a kid, and it’s sad to see him go. I can’t wait for him to join a commentary team though! This though sums him up!

From the BBC Website:

“In a rain-affected NatWest Trophy match between Derbyshire and Hertfordshire
in June 1991, Malcolm was called upon to take part in a bowl-out to decide
which team would progress to the next round.

All he had to do was to hit a set of unguarded stumps – no great shakes for
a Test bowler, you’d think.

Think again. Devon measured out a 20-pace run-up, sprinted up to the wicket
at full steam and unleashed a sizzling bouncer which landed half way down
the pitch and cleared the stumps by a good three feet.”

LOL!

Why men SHOULD be allowed to stare at other women

You know what “they” say that loves come along when you’re not looking for it? I reckon this explains the high rate of divorce.

Think about it… you fall in love and get married. When you’re married, you’re not allowed to look at new women. You stop looking. So then new love comes along. People get divorced and so on.

So if women realised that men looking at other women was actually helpful (I mean, how are we supposed to tell you how pretty you are if we can’t compare you to others…) – by looking at other women we’re actually limiting the chance of us splitting up!

Simple!

Dilbert

I’ve been chuckling like a little girl for the last few weeks as I read Dilbert every day. So I thought I’d link to them.

And while I’m at it, I also recommend Calvin and Hobbes for a bit of a giggle too. Get them both emailed to you!
