I have just spent about half an hour trying to get a bottle open. I couldn't do it. I took it to Mehul (who is not the strongest guy you'll ever meet) and asked him for help. 30 sec later I was in possesion of one opened bottle. I felt like a fool, let me tell you.

Sorry about that. I just can't be arsed to update, I'm too lazy. Now, as an essay deadline looms, I find myself thinking that updating an online journal is a splendid plan. I've not got much to say, but thought I'd just say hi to everyone as I've not spoken to anyone in the real world for so, so long now. By the real world, i do mean anyone not ( Read more... )

Now, as many of you know, I was a member of the pension scheme at my last work, and upon leaving was told I could close the pension down and receive back the money I had paid in. Hurrah! I thought. I was relying on that money to pay for stuff I need. Now, 4 months later and I still hadn't heard anything from them despite my chasing. I called ( Read more... )

I'm looking at you, Elie and Sally...

What's a Potin Coin? Google seems to hate me today.

Thank you please.

Fuck off. Not in a good mood. Pottery hates me. I'm hungry but have no food. I'm tired but really need to write at least another 1000 words before bed. Want to kill things. Anything. Gonna hurt the next person to distract me.

Today I went to photocopy much Stuff. I knew this would cost me loads, I was working on roughly £7 or £8 (we pay 5p per copy) and was looking forward to having no money to buy food with. Then i went to the library, put my photocopy card in the machine and started copying, intending to put more money on it when it ran out. It didn't. I paid, for ( Read more... )

So. I have just learned about Stonehenge from some guy (who's name I forget) who is apparently one of the leading experts on Stonehenge inthe country. This would be good if he also happened to be one of the leading lecture givers in the country but he wasn't, but that's another story. Anyway, possibly the most interesting thing he talked about ( Read more... )

I=lonely and fed up with getting excited over really stupid things like arguing with the crazy irish guy about whether Lucullus was right to spend all his money building & decorating hideous houses after he retired. I think he was right to... Which other Romans can you think of that had such mental houses? None. Right. He did it 'cos he felt ( Read more... )

I am so cold. It is, apparently, not an emergency to have your heating break down in the middle of November and to have a house that is colder inside than it is outside (our house is 8 degrees, Mehul tells me) I am so cold right now, and I could kill anyone who even thinks that this is not a fucking emergency. I want my heating mended and I want ( Read more... )

I will tell you all what happened to me today ( Read more... )
