British Polytubby needed!

[Ben Kenobi]

I find myself in the difficult position of lacking access to a specific resource not available online.

The resource is in the British Library.

I need to employ one of you lot to take a jaunt down to London and search for a specific reference.

Anyways, I believe I know where the resource is in the British Library, and I know exactly where the reference that I am looking for is located inside the resource. However, the book isn't available anywhere here, (unless I've not looked in the correct place). The Library states that it is available for access at one of the physical terminals there. Unfortunately I'm a bit far from it.

Let me know if you have the time and are interested.

I was hoping he was visiting the UK and thought this could be an invaluable opportunity to rid the world of such stupidity forever. Someone could just stick his head in the toilet and Scotland Yard might think it was some deranged fecal eating accident.

I really do need the help, Oerdin.

The only reason I'd take a jaunt down to London is to take out a contract on your head.

Again, if you can help, great. If you can't, don't want to help, that's fine. Like I said I need the help and I thought I'd ask if anyone was interested.

Good luck, dickhead.

[EPW]

I'll do it if you pay for the plane ticket, hotel, food, hookers, etc.

[Ben Kenobi]

If I could afford that, I'd do it myself, EPW.

So no takers?

[Cort Haus]

What is it you want to know, Ben?

Give Vincent Nichols a call - he probably don't mind trotting down there and then he would do something useful.

[Ben Kenobi]

Oh, it's got nothing to do with anything ecclesiastical. It's just some peerage stuff.

Do Catholics believe in karma?

[BlackCat]

Didn't imply such - just that he probably hasn't anything else to do, and he probably needs the exercise.

On a serious note - have you asked the library if they could scan/photocopy/fax/mail the parts you need ?

They have older editions available, but the information I'm looking for is specifically in the latest edition. Which is rather difficult to find. The peerage is also too large to have them do ILL, and it's not something they'd want out of their library anyways.

I have a few friends that do this work, so I am talking with them to see if they can help me with this specific issue.

This is actually a pretty clever way to intimate that you're a real poster and not just a troll. Good job, BK.
