So they can come back if they want to! They could come back anyway, but library staff seem to have a rep of being scary fire-breathing types who don't like people.<br /><br />Hmmm...might be something in that...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-91375669298761798532009-07-31T15:01:54.354+01:002009-07-31T15:01:54.354+01:00Elaine, I tell you.

There were some odd balls hanging about. But then I thought, hmmm, maybe I'm odd too? 24, not working, flapping about renting DVDs and books from a library. Weirdo.<br /><br />Ellie - As in you buy them from the library? Do you go to the library just to get the bags, or do you nip off with a book as well?<br /><br />Al - I was a little bit scared they'd pull me up on the ones I never brought back. But I'm guessing they've brought new systems in since 1990.<br /><br />Huw - I'm all for getting a bit nerdy now and then. My favourite comments are often the ones when someone's a little bit nerdy and gives some really good advice or suggestions that I wouldn't normally hear.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-46661985442033978492009-07-31T00:26:49.604+01:002009-07-31T00:26:49.604+01:00Having read your librigasm, I feel like less of a ...Having read your librigasm, I feel like less of a nerd after I left a history comment the other day.Huwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812961156865975046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-92177225732305688152009-07-30T23:32:46.425+01:002009-07-30T23:32:46.425+01:00i have been avoiding the libraries around here sin...i have been avoiding the libraries around here since i was about 12- i caaused a hefty fine from taking too long and i refuse to pay this lolAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154995475787353151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-47759130952806215732009-07-30T20:37:39.498+01:002009-07-30T20:37:39.498+01:00We get our recycling bags from the public library....We get our recycling bags from the public library.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130776138284979286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-37194192340047550462009-07-30T20:22:13.347+01:002009-07-30T20:22:13.347+01:00Seriously, try working in one.

And somehow turned into a stand-up comedian purely because I was so excited about this occurrence that I wanted to impress upon then that not all library-workers are stuffy bun-wearers who say 'shh' all the time.<br /><br />They went away happy. And more than a little scared.<br /><br />So, yeah. Public libraries. Full of weirdos.

Sadly, I can never find the dirty books section...<br /><br />BUT it's full of completely weird people. This week I was innocently waiting for the lift to take me to the 6th floor, and this huge ginger beard comes lolloping around the corner, with a strange man in a plaid shirt attached to it. "Phew! I REALLY need the toilet - I hope this one's working. I've been to nine or ten others but they're all full." He STANK of piss. When the lift came, I couldn't bear to get in it with him, so I just gestured to it and said "You go ahead", and then I went and used the stairs instead. The people who work there have terrible stories about people peeing in corners and having sex in the study cubicles and all sorts. <br /><br />I once sat next to someone on the computers, who was looking up pictures of women in 80s-style high-leg swim suits and leotards... and saving them onto a USB... eeeuuuggghhhhh. <br /><br />But yes, libraries are ace and I LOVE microfiche.
