What’s gone on?

  • Foot

    My foot hurts. On Tuesday I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to walk from Barnsley to Brierley. This thought only became reality because I had £2.30 and I needed £2.60 to get the bus. As a poor Student I was reluctant to withdraw more money from the bank because I now need

  • Marmite, Parsnips, Aubergines and Eggs. All belong in a box labelled “DANGER: HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH” and locked in a lead lined vault built into Rockall and forgotten about until the world ends.

  • This morning i’ve had my induction to the library. This must be the sixth time I’ve been inducted to a library, not counting those I witnessed in my old jobs. The only difference I can see is the way they access online e-journals. Give me Athens any day! Device: SonyEricssonK800i/R1GB001
