Hello, my name is Pod. Those nice people at BCC have asked me to say a few words to go onto their website. I'm not sure what a website is, but I understand it's something to do with computers. It all sounds very dull, I must say. Which must be why they want me to say something to brighten it up!
I suppose I should say, right up front, that I am not actually
from the BCC myself. In fact I'm not from Earth either. I'm from space; outer
space to be exact. From your point of view I am an alien visitor. Having
visited your planet on and off for a number of years, I've been trying to
understand what life on Earth is all about. I've found the people at BCC most
welcoming and very helpful in explaining the answers to the puzzlingest
questions. Every time that I've thought of a difficult question, I've dropped
in on a Sunday morning, and they've done their best to answer it. I don't want
to complain, but it does seem to me that they could do bit better at
explaining things, as quite often I get completely the wrong side of the
stick, as you would say. I've found that they're particularly good on
questions about God; although, of course, I have some ideas of my own, so it's
not all a street going the same way!
I usually time my visit with one of the so-called "family services". That way I get to see all the big ones and short ones together. They view my arrival and departure with some excitement on their enormous video screen, and have even arranged to play my theme tune (that I wrote myself!) so that I can make a really big entrance.
So if you're reading this on your computer at home, look out at the sky right now and you might see a sleek black rocket flying past. But if it's not a Sunday morning, it won't be me. Otherwise, come and meet me at BCC (I must point out that I don't do autographs, because of the obvious gravity problems), or you can email me though the outernet at pod.the.alien@ntlworld.com
The friends of Pod have now also launched a MySpace fan site.
