1. Between the 3rd and 4th century AD the Vatican used York as a Pope 'proving ground'. They would send the six prospective Popes into the city with naught but two papal staves and a slingshot. The first candidate to win the hearts of 40% of the citizens became Pope - the other five became demi-popes, or 'popettes ( Read more... )

For those of you who didn't know, it was my birthday on Friday
Hardly seems like a whole year since the last one, but it was...well, I'm pretty sure it was. If it wasn't then there's something wrong going on around here. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. The important thing is that I got presents!
Among which were:
A new watch (Hurray, I can be ( Read more... )

Don't ask me why I was looking. I just was okay?

Wow, this is a long post. Lucky for you I'm Web 2.0 enough to slap an LJ cut all over it.

So I started playing World of Warcraft again recently (get it?). It was a bit of an extremely stupid thing to do, considering (a) that it's addictive and steals all your money, (b) it makes you an extreme NEEEERRRRD to ( Read more... )

I got an interview in York for a week on Monday. That's 4 days before we move.
Good news though!

Well all you silly folkes have been doing this carrer thingy what-not and for one in my life I decided that, as memes go, it's quite an eye opener...well, comparistively. It doesn't, for example, ask me what my favourite cake is. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR ( Read more... )

I would honestly like to know

Yesterday gave me more reason than usual to excrete the bile that is created in me by fashion. Not that I'm usually one to bottle these things up, on the contrary, I positively adore shouting at people in my head for wearing extremely stupid clothes. Call it a hobby. Never-the-less, even if I didn't do these perfectly sane things and remained an ( Read more... )

Good morning.
It's all been going a bit weird recently. As you know, me and Katie are off up to York soon (the date looks to be the 29th of September, which means that it's more than likely I'll be spending my birthday in an empty house. That's going to be a bit weird. I don't even know what I want yet. I keep seeing stuff and thinking,' oh, that ( Read more... )

Hurray for me!
I got a job doing casual work at Chester Librarianary (I might have mentioned before - it's where they keep the librarians).
This means, without a shadow of a doubt, that I rock and am better than lots of people. I am better than them because I won and they lost.
Now I can do some works and get some moneys.
Katie has news along a ( Read more... )

Hello someone who's reading this. Welcome to the desert of the real maybe I don't know.

Just a bit of news to say that I had an interview at Chester library for the post of 'casual worker'. I think it means I go to work and just loaf about for a bit. That sounds right doesn't it? I think it went pretty well so you can all do whatever superstitious ( Read more... )
