welcome to dalrymple/index.html

So I haven't updated for a while. So sue me. And sign the guestbook while you're about it. Keep the dream alive.

Hello, and welcome to my shiny new website. 'New' is now officially crossed out as the site celebrates its first birthday - hurrah!

If you've got this far, you obviously know me from somewhere. Maybe you're a friend (probably not for long after you read this) perhaps a mere aquaintance, or perchance you are a stranger, directed to these hallowed halls at the heart of cyber-space by an anonymous benefactor (who are these people? Where do they come from?). Certainly not by the rotten search-engines I signed up for. Blinking rubbish (the clean language policy is ever weakening at Dalrymple HQ).

My name is Dalrymple. That's not my whole name, because only really, really stupid people give out their real names on the internet.

It used to be that all I knew about computers was that they were big metal boxes with televisions attached, that typed letters and corrected speling and grammar, incorrectly. NOW, on the other hand, I can safely say that I know a LOT more about computers. For example, the internet is a big flat imaginary thing with pretty pictures on it, and writing and so on.

So, before you visit any of my pages, I must warn you that I have slightly less technical ability than the average gopher, or similar small rodent.

About the site. It's a bit like a blunt pencil: completely pointless (ba-dum KSHHH, spot the plagiarism).

Ideally, people can use it to have fun, meet people, and expand their minds in a purely non-hallucinogenic-drug kinda way. Although I freely allow the use of such substances to facilitate your viewing pleasure. You may need them.

It should be fairly obvious that the site is perpetually under construction. However, it does need help from YOU (cue Uncle Sam poster...). Even the smallest contribution will be welcomed with open legs arms on my part.

SEND ME STUFF TO PUT ON THE SITE OR IT WON'T GET PUT!

E-mail is at the bottom of each page.

Have fun.

Dalrymple :)


While you're at it, sign my guestbook. Go oooooon.

If you're new to dalrymple/index.html, you should know that the guestbook here is an area where we can leave flippant, sarky, irreverent, irrelevant but above all harmless messages for each other. It is not a place for twattishness or abuse that may offend other users and ruin the otherwise merry atmosphere.
Please bear this in mind and adjust your natural twattishness accordingly when using the guestbook.

Behold, the first picture of Dalrymple ever to grace these pages.

You may have noted the picture of the old man that was there before. That's my Grandpa, William Boyd Berry (Bill) who died of cancer on the 1st February 2004. He wasn't a particularly gregarious, or charming person in the conventional way. But he was my grandpa and I loved him.

Thursday 22nd January '04:

Hooray! Under considerable pressure, Dalrymple HQ has literally worked for hours to present a new photo page documenting friends of dalrymple/index.html's activities during the festive season. View it here. Now get off my back.


Noticeboard
(wherein dwelleth those things that remain of perpetual interest to Dalrymple HQ)

If this is the first time you've visited for a while, don't forget to try Kate SB's Which Dalrymple are you?' quiz.

You can also try the original Dalrymple quiz. The top score so far (for the first time around) is 9 - can you beat it (do you really give a toss)? It's perfectly normal for your scores not to come up on the scoreboard, as I somehow buggered it up - but don't worry, they get e-mailed to me. EVERY TIME. So I KNOW when you cheat and do it twice (or 3 times, Dilpreet). Simply post your score on the guestbook - and don't worry, if you 'forget', I will. Two recent bashful test-takers have been 'csa' with a total of 1/10, and 'lalalala' with 9/10.

Click here. Just click.

NEW: As part of Dalrymple HQ's relentless quest for hits, you can now recommend dalrymple/index.html to a friend! No riff-raff, mind you. Only those who you deem to be of suitable character may be referred to these hallowed pages. (Har, har.)
