I'm trying desperately to be a 'A Grumpy Old Man'. Several of the volunteers told me off for criticising a certain person who didn't realise he was in charge of the Country when the Prime minister wasn't in the Country!
Anyway back to the subject. I actually enjoyed the On Thin Ice talk on Tuesday at 'Base Camp'. It was informative and understandable. Thankyou Ben and the powers that be for putting it together.

Grumpy Volunteer's Corner
by Keith Evans
For some time I've thought that there are too many volunteers with the same Christian names causing considerable confusion. Something needs to be done. One of my popular but rather absent-minded colleagues came in one morning and greeted his pals, getting their names mixed up. He was corrected of course but commented "Ah well, never mind, near enough." I know how he felt.
Something must be done about those with the same name. I suggest a re-Christening ceremony. The Waterfront would be an ideal venue, allowing for complete immersion of course. Bring your own cozzies although towels are available. We haven't got a museum padre but Jonathan would look good in a dog-collar. Of course I was here first so I'm exempt. I haven't investigated the ladies but I think the same applies. Now calm down gentlemen, you know the excitement is not good for you. I suggest a date for the ceremony should be 1st April.

Grumpy Volunteer's Corner
by Keith Evans
A couple of days before Christmas I went into The Hold to do my session and was not expecting to meet anyone as the Museum was exceptionally quiet. I was met with a riotous cacophony. 'Some kids have been let loose creating mayhem' I thought. Assuming my sternest countenance, I ventured into the gloom to remonstrate with the culprits only to find senior members of the establishment, including you know who, playing with the kid's building blocks and rubber balls. I won't say exactly what they were doing as it will only encourage other delinquents to copy their activities. As another grumpy old codger is known to say 'I don't believe it'.
Really gentlemen, I'll never complain about kids again. Well, not for a couple of weeks anyway.
