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 […]
UA Meet 13
This Bank Holiday Weekend has mostly consisted of sitting in a pub with fellow spodders from UA… Friday Due to lectures and examples classes being cancelled, I ended up with Friday off this week. Unfortunately I found out in the morning that someone had beaten me to my first choice of third year projects so […]
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, […]

Problem is, running through the list of potential candidates, I find myself disagreeing strongly with all of them.. Labour Not a chance in hell, I’m not voting for a […]

Your expected outcome:Conservative Your actual outcome: Labour 32 Liberal Democrat 52 UK Independence Party 27 Green 56 You should vote: GreenThe Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, is also pro-Europe and takes a strong position […]
Film day
After a couple of setbacks, Kirk, Rachel Ed and I finally managed to get our long awaited film night/day organised for this afternoon. Instead of holding it at our house, we went to Kirk’s instead, which probably turned out to be a good decision in the long run because it’s a bit more central as […]
So cold
I’m back in Bury for the moment to deliver my sister’s birthday present, seeing as I forgot to take it on Tuesday when I went into town with Kirk. I can’t believe how cold it is this side of Manchester, we’ve had snow falling today and it’s freezing outside (as well as in here, because […]
