Chris posted this on UA today and I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it: Joelogon’s Foolproof Guide to Making Any Woman Your Platonic Friend (suitable for work, not suitable for people who don’t like satire/poking fun at stereotypes) Update: I didn’t post this because I’m bitter about anyone, seeing as a couple of people […]
Clarke considers Tory leadership
Clarke ponders Tory leader race via BBC News In a move that has surprised several people, including myself, Kenneth Clarke has announced that he is considering the possibility of putting his name forward in the upcoming race for the leadership of the Conservative Party. As someone who has been defeated by both William Hague and […]
Things going well
Wednesday started quite well this week, managed to get both my graphics and algorithms final labs marked, although a lack of demonstrators (who didn’t seem to realise that the marking session was scheduled for today) meant that it took longer than expected. I got full marks in algorithms, which was good, but only half marks […]
Coming to the end
It’s that time of year again when everyone gets into a sudden panic as they realise that half a dozen pieces of coursework are due in for the last week of term, and as usual I’m not an exception to the rule. I’ve been slaving away all weekend working on labs, but fortunately I’ve nearly […]
Elections write up
What a week it’s been so far… Wednesday was the funeral of one of my good friends from college, Matt Fearn (known to most of us as “Ferny”), who died a couple of weeks ago in a motorbike accident. Although it was a sad occasion, it was great to see that so many people turned […]

Have you
Bit bored tonight so got this off Mike to fill in (have chopped it down to 75 because the original was 200 entries which is a bit long in my opinion). Bought everyone in the pub a drink – no, although I think I’ve been there when someone has (can’t remember though) Climbed a mountain […]
Ups and downs
This week has been full of them… Wednesday was a busy morning as usual, with graphics lab to hand in (managed to get full marks for the parts that I did, which worked out as 70%) followed by an extended break for lunch as our graphics lecture was cancelled. PASS followed, and as usual none […]
Quick meme
Got this via Jon, decided it might elicit some interesting replies (plus I’m bored :). Who are you? Are we friends? If we’ve met, when and how did we meet? What social event or place would you like to go to with me? Would you kiss me? Describe me in one word. What was your […]
Catching up
It’s been a few days since I posted anything here, so time to catch up on what’s been happening since the weekend. Friday night didn’t involve much, I got a text asking me if I wanted to go out for a quiet drink but since she was on the other side of Manchester to me, […]
