Cheater Sombrero Guy |
I am Sombrero Guy, the notorious maths genius who doesn't have a clue what he's doing.
This is a small passage I wrote recently for a writing competition. They are apparently displaying entries in the windows of the bookshop, so I hope people see this and join:
"My story is about a vision.
It’s about the three men who strive to make this vision reality. It’s about an adventure. It’s about a place where people from all corners of the Earth can meet with a common purpose. There is a Hero and a Villain, and many others besides. It’s about the struggle to reach the top; to become the best of the best. Some will achieve the greatest honour. Others will fall at the first hurdle. Teams will be built, alliances will be made. Rivalries will fuel the activity. People compete against each other, yet depend upon each other also, for without competitors there would be no purpose.
It is a story of the delicate nature of relationships; those small things that lead to anger. It is about revenge, envy and hate, but also about friendships and respect. Without the support of others the people – the players – would not be able to survive.
The players in this place will never look at the world in the same way again. They will see new opportunities and new meanings in things that non-players take for granted. This new place, this new world, is EPIC.
My story is the story of SFZero, and there simply isn’t enough space to write it here."
I should thank Tom for introducing me to this site, and out of gratitude give a link to his website, www.frozenhaddock.co.uk.
I am currently leader of the BMTHØ (sf0.org/teams/BMTH), and we now have a good number of members, it's just that none of them do anything.
As a part of my continuing recruitment drive for BMTHØ, I have set up a website for the team. OK, so it's just a tiny Google-page thing, but it's a start.
I now have a new camera, so I can start solo tasking again with proper praxis.
I EAT MEAT.
A record of my attempts to initiate enthusiasm for SF0 around the country:
Bournemouth - Initial success followed by failure. Recruitment drive still in 'planning' stage.
Banbury - Success, finally!
Leeds - Failure.
Sandwich - Failure.

There is something I can contribute. You'll need music, and I have a guitar, saxophone, didgeridoo and kazoo.
The kazoo in particular would be good for random sound effects, I think.
I just hope my mic is up to it...
Any NON-singing parts? I do have a good record of non-singing parts in musicals from primary school. Mr Brownlow in 'Oliver!' was my biggest role...
Myself and Tom should be in Banbury again on Thursday 28 August. We want to arrange a day of tasking, and try to make the news for a second time. If you want to join us, let us know. We will be arranging times/places for meeting and the specifics of tasks later, and any input is welcome.
Does Haberly have a garden? If so, we can just put the tent up there (if he'll let us).
