Update
My housemate Nick is in the shower at the moment (listening to Ace of Base, ‘All that she wants’ on the radio!), I'll be lucky to get in there before midday so I'll take this opportunity of non-library time to blog a little.
I came back from my parent on Monday evening after not achieving a great deal of work. This was due in part to this link that my sister-in-law, Nat sent me. It is basically a more advanced three-dimensional Su Doku. I have wasted far too much time on it over the last two days only to find out that there is a mistake on it (or a small possibility that I made a mistake). I have given up now. I don't have time for too many dimensions at the moment.
Yesterday morning I was rudely woken, not by Wogan, by instead by some nerd texting me (I had left my phone on my mistake), saying how much work they had done already that morning. Two hours later I joined them in the library and had a pretty successful day of revision. I found a new room in the St Lukes library that I had never been too before; it too seemed to have some weird and wonderful books. From where I was sitting there were books entitled;
'The Mechanical Bride' - I guess this is a romance guide for us computer scientists?
'Guerrilla Marketing Attack' - (A typo I assume), If a gorilla came up to someone in the street and asked if they wanted to buy what it was selling, it would take a brave man to say no. Therefore it seems like a good tactic and well worth a book explaining the in's and out's.
'The New, Unblocked Manager' - I guess this is a book about how to deal with your boss' new found enthusiasm after he has finally managed to find a happy medium on his fibre intake.
After lunch, I worked hard except for a 30 minute break to browse through the 'Shorthand dictionary' that was on a shelf next to me. I looked at many words that all looked exactly the same in shorthand. Anybody who can use this wacky language is officially an absolute genius. I thought I would learn one word each day I am in the library. Yesterday I learned the word 'Philistine'. Useful!
Had a greasy pizza at the uni bar on Lukes for dinner, at which point we bumped into Sarah and friends who were 80% through their 21 pubs (crawl) for her 21st birthday. She looked rather drunk by the time they passed us, unfortunately my phone is refusing to allow me to transfer the pictures I took, but maybe I'll be able to put them up later.
3 pints later (abstinence going well then!) I was back home and soon tucked up in bed. Another successful day.

Guerrilla Marketing Attack: this is a marketing strategy that involves picking off competitors one by one in a sneaky and underhanded way much in the same way as Dick Dastedly in Wacky Races. I'll let you decide as to who in the business gets to be Mutley.
Mind you, Gorilla Marketing attack has a lot of potential...wonder if its been considered before....
I protest - despite having a lot more hair, Phil spends far longer in the shower than I do! I was having fun singing to Ace of Base though....takes me back to when I was young and sweet and thought that the song was being rather literal regarding the desire for another baby. I remember thinking she should show more responsibility if she wanted another child, and pay more attention to however many she already had.
Whoops.
You are full of lies, Phil does not have more hair than you!
Picky picky, you know what I meant.
But then again, Phil does have hairy legs and chest so maybe we're about even.
Mind you, going on that logic, YOU probably have more hair than me :p
