Oo…

Welcome to Fergus Ray Murray‘s new blog.

Why ‘Oolong‘?

• Well, what with this being Teh Internets and all, I thought I had better come up with some kind of a pseudonym. I took the name of my favourite tea because I liked the sound of it, I wrote a song about it once, and it was also the name of the hero of quite a cool computer game I remembered from my youth.
  I only discovered later that I shared the name with the Internet’s most famous bunny, and the Pigsy character out of Dragonball. Such is life.

Why ‘Oo‘?

• Oo is an interjection which can express glad surprise, or a moment of pleasure. I like that, and I thought I might enjoy keeping a log of things that make me go ‘oo’.

…Why ‘long’?

• Call me a preposterous optimist, or – if you prefer – a gloom-mongering Lethargian – but I think there’s a fair chance I’ve got another fifty years ahead of me on this planet. Life is far too long to live without routinely taking pleasure in day-to-day things of beauty and wonder.

Have a cup of tea?
