Your first suggestion, Biological Observational and Operational Zoology and Entomology Resource - BOOZER. Give me a break. For non UK subscribers a BOOZER is a Bar or someone who consumes large quantities of alcohol. Ok, I have been known to frequent boozers and I do admit a love of Mother Natures gift to Scotland, the whisky. But here I am, sitting in sunny Glasgow, and having colleagues say, "I'm away to see the auld boozer in the BOOZER." My scientific credibility, what it is, would vanish. I'd end up pushing a supermarket trolley around the campus with a sign round my neck, <B>homeless and hungry, want any sections cut - cheap.<BR></B>Directorate Overseeing General Services and Preparation of Objects for Observation - DOGS POO. <BR><X-TAB>        </X-TAB>Well, for me it has to;<BR><B>G</B>lasgow <B>I</B>nstitute for <B>R</B>esearch into <B>L</B>aboratory <B>S</B>ciences, <B>O</B>rganization <B>N</B>etwork and <B>L</B>iaison with <B>Y</B>oung microscopists. <BR><BR>Ian.  <BR><BR><X-SIGSEP> <P></X-SIGSEP><FONT color=#0000ff>Dr. Ian Montgomery,<BR>West Medical Building,<BR>University of Glasgow,<BR>Glasgow,<BR>G12 8QQ.<BR>Tel: 0141 339 8855.  Extn:6602.<BR>Fax: 0141 330 2923<BR>e-mail: ian.montgomery@bio.gla.ac.uk</FONT> </P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
