Snow Day

Bloody snow. Almost killed myself walking down the slope outside the flat.

Ho Ho Ho

Yes yes outside outside out.... What the fucking hell is this??! It's wet - and cold!

I'm not sure I like this at all....

Im coming in... Wait, whats that?

No, it's nothing, I've had enough. Three minutes in the snow is far too much.

I'm fat, cold and wet. I'm coming in now.

Students' Commando Challenge

Before....

After!

For some reason, I'm assuming for charity, the med students decided that a commando challenge would be a good idea. I tried to convince then that they would have to do it with no underwear on (although this is probably Rich's normal state). I think they were on to me though!

A very muddy Rich, Jenna, Alan, Cress and James. I hope I remembered to pay them.

Swansea University to move?

After yet another spate of "release to the media first" news from the University, this time about a possible move from campus, the growing fallout is pretty amusing to watch. Already the Evening Post and Wales Today have had headline stories about the move. This is all the more entertaining when you hear the full story. Relocating the entire campus is only one of three possible options to develop the University into the cash generating corporation the VC needs to justify his salary. The other two rely on redevelopment work here which would probably cost even more.

The main problem with relocating? well apart from the recent massive investments in the ILS building and medical School, once students realise the Uni is in Llanelli or so far out of town its almost inaccessible without a car, who the hell will come here? A "research led" student free university may be the long term goal, but what is the point - isn't that what research institutions are for? If the University needs to bow to the pressures of global capitalism, then why bother with education at all?

One thing is for sure, if it moves to Llanelli (if I'm still here by then, which I hope to god I won't be), I quit!

The new ketchup in town

As a Heinz supporter for the last 26 years I was a bit annoyed to find that they have moved almost exclusively to plastic bottles ( a fact which heinz blame on the supermarkets - I know, I Emailed them!). I HATE plastic bottle ketchup except on the odd occasions I have vegetarian hot dogs when it is excusable. At all other times it must be glass, it just tastes better. Until recently I have been forced to buy tiny bottles in bulk, but in a cafe last week in Cardiff I discovered this new one - Vitakrone. It is almost the perfect compromise between the thick, sweet texture of Heinz and the slight vinegariness of classic greasy spoon ketchup which is necessary for deep fried eggs et al. To cap it all off its about 36p a bottle from Lidl!! Genius.

England were amazing for once! As I'm very lazy read the full match report here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4420426.stm

What a great game. I actually injured myself by leaping off the couch when the third went in and landed slightly awkwardly on the floor. Best game I've seen since Germany I think - but even more dramatic and probably a better performance. To be fair Wayne Bridge was crap and I thought Gerrard was largely insignificant aside from the one cross, but other than that a good team performance. And no Owen "I'm a woman" Hargreaves either!

AEROSITH

As I was looking for a new profile image I stumbled across this! genius! I'm doubly impressed if he can actually play anything in those gloves

News from Yorskhire Extract from the Yorkshire Evening Post:

"A drunk who claimed he had been raped by a dog was yesterday jailed for 12 months by a judge. Martin Hoyle, 45, was arrested by police after a passing motorist and his girlfriend found a Staffordshire bull terrier, called Badger, having sex with him at the side of a road in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Prosecutor Ben Crosland said the couple had stopped to help because they thought Hoyle was being attacked by the animal. But when they got closer they saw that he had his trousers round his ankles, was down on all fours and the dog was straddling him from behind. "The defendant mumbled something about the dog having taken a liking to him," said Mr Crosland. "The couple were extremely offended and sickened by what they saw." Another passing motorist contacted the police and Hoyle was arrested as he walked with the dog down the road. Hoyle, of East view, Marsh, Huddersfield, told police "I can't help it if the dog took a liking to me. He tried to rape me." He repeated the ra pe allegation at the police station and added "The dog pulled my trousers down." Hoyle, who has had a long-standing alcohol problem, was jailed for 12 months after he admitted committing an act which outraged public decency. His barrister said Hoyle had no memory of the incident because of his drunken state, but was now very remorseful and incredibly embarrassed. Jailing him, Judge Alistair McCallum told Hoyle "Never before in my time at the bar or on the bench have I ever had to deal with somebody who voluntarily allowed himself to be buggered by a dog on the public highway. Frankly it is beyond most of our comprehension. It is an absolutely disgusting thing for members of the public to have to witness
