More than
Hello and welcome to my website, getting its annual spring clean and rewording of the front page in order that we can all leap up and down to celebrate its third birthday. Yes, already. This is the rather strange (but in an amusing sort of way) site of Mr Richard Tupholme Esq. He lives in Rotherham and still steadfastly proclaims that is is a source of great pride to have been born and brought up within what is left of the South Yorkshire coalfields. In contradiction to this however he seems to be spending more and more time either studying (ha!) for a degree in economics at Exeter University or travelling round Britain on public transport. His achievements in life are fairly minimal apart from his ability to make a complete fool of himself with everyday objects such as concrete posts or salt cellars, however he does not wish to be pitied. He was somehow elected as President of the Exeter University Out Of Doors Society in March 1999 and took until December just to get hold of the maps. Funnily enough the society was run much better after he quit the leadership. His interests include drinking, Sheffield Wednesday (yes, he's the one), women, cricket, walking and travelling on public transport. His wide experiences of ranting at anything that takes his fancy, taking enormous detours just to experience additional public transport and writing in funny languages to producers of galvanised sheet metal mean that this site contains well rounded opinions from his many observations of the trivialities of everyday life. It is quite probably obvious that his great pastime is drinking - "there is no stress that cannot be defeated by sitting in a pub garden on a summer's afternoon with a good pint of bitter." Oh yeah Webby, my site is still better than yours.
