Hi

The virtual kettle's on..... So while I let it boil I just have this to say

Come on now....Admit it. We all have a little geek in us trying desperately to get out... or in most cases being suppressed to within an inch of it's geek life. God (whom does not exist) knows we would hate our friends to find out. They would ridicule us mercilessly.

Nay I say. Nay nay and thrice nay. Let the Geek in you out.  There is no shame in it. It shows people who you really are. It shows them that you are not all nicely cut hair, clean teeth, and trousers or skirt wearing individuals....but in fact...well actual bone-a-fideeee individuals.

So we encourage you all to let your geekiness shine through.

My geekdom is well documented around these parts. I always seem to be a little different to those around. I never shy away from saying I like something if I do, just in case it amazes or upsets someone else. If I like something I like something.

At School I was happy to let everyone know I loved Rolf Harris's songs. There I've said it. It is out there in social network land. Of course the cooler kids tried to mock me.... but If you take no notice of them, they soon come around to realising that you are the cool one. I never tried to fit in... I probably deliberately tried not to fit into the norm of school social standings. And guess what... people end up respecting you for it.

I love everything about the Harris. His artwork, his enthusiasm, his style...his beard his glasses. He just makes me happy.

But if you like something, I don't see why you should feel ashamed about it. Heck I even like The wurzels. But then again when you look at my music likes I have an enormous eclectic taste.

I also love the work of 'King of the geeks' Jonathan Coulton. An Internet phenomenon who traded in working as a codemonkey to become a musician. His songs are weird, and range from yeti's to Zombies, to computer in putters to Tom cruise and Ikea. Well worth a listen.

Although I do not dress in the traditional geek style... (and having been to Jonathan Coulton gigs....there is a definite geek look) I have Geek within me. I love singing along to a song about Zombies who are trying to break into the office to make ex workmates zombies too. Who would not.

I have many geeky tendencies too... as we all do.

So this month let your inner Geek out. No longer hide your geekness.

With this in mind we have dedicated our front page of the shop to a little bit of geek magic.

Plus we had to...with my love of Rolf and my geeky online tendencies, promote our NEW ROFL badges to the mighty heights of Badge 'O' the month. Available in 6 different colours...(so geeky)

Let the geek inherit the earth!

Go geek.

Well, I can hear the kettle has just finished boiling so

Milk and sugar?
