The Sewing Machine Museum

[several_bees]

Perhaps because I talk louder than either of them, Kevan and miss-newham continue to indulge me in my conviction that we should go to pretty much every museum in London, the nicher the better. This weekend it was the first Saturday of the month, and we all know what that means: the Sewing Machine Museum in Balham was open between 2pm and 5pm

I might have to change my name to Sherburm Blodgett. That does sound like a fantastically boring museum, and I like sewing machines quite a bit.

I think it's "Sherburn", not "Sherburm". It's kind of a tie, since Google gives two search results for each spelling, but the two for "Sherburm" are both from this thread, whereas the two for "Sherburn" are independent witnesses. But anyway, you should change your name to one of these just so there will be two results for googling your name that aren't about you. And when you sign up for online services, you can be pretty sure that the user name you want won't have been taken. I imagine there isn't much competition for the domain name sherburnblodgett.com either.

I could always go the whole hog and call myself Sherbum Blidgett...

I can confirm now that the correct name is Sherburne C. Blodgett. Not quite as good, but still pretty great. And just think of all the cute nicknames. Sherry, Sherby, Burnie, Sherbs, Blodgie...

In case you missed my most recent post, I can confirm that it's Sherburne C. Blodgett, which is still a pretty great name. (I've managed not to register sherburnecblodgett.com because I already have far too many domains registered for comedy reasons.)
