Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was 17? Or because I live in Manchester? Whatever the reason, I'm soaking wet as usual, which is not great when I have a 3(ish) mile walk home. Anyways enough of this rubbish, lets make some hay!

(I realised that resistance is futile, if you can't beat 'em etc etc. Plus it beefs up this update considerably hahaha!)

Ok well I'm meant to be putting the finishing touches to my rough draft of a report thats been hanging over my head for about 3 weeks, the hand in time is oooo, 70 mins. :O But the thing is nearly finished so I think I'll take a break.

This week has been a funny one. Monday was hectic. Had a double lecture with this guy:



The one and only Giles Droop, his relentless mumbling about the Archean Age (actually a fascinating topic) made my ears want to implode. And then I was running around like a headless chicken trying to get the report finished for Monday's tutorial, only to find out it didn't need to be handed in til today. Ugh.

And I'm particularly fed up with the railways in general. The buggers won't let me book my ticket online because my card is an electron (and they don't do electron- wankers) so to book a ticket I have to walk (or bus it, but I hate Manc buses, they smell and are soooo slow) about 3 miles. So I did this on Monday evening after i had finished all my work (about 7) and arrived at 8, only to have someone block me from entering because they were just closing. Fair play, they shut at 8, can I come back tomorrow? "yes sure" they said. Turned up yesterday at about 5, and queued at the office. Took about 20 mins to queue. Reached the office, asked to book for Saturday. They said, sorry we are understaffed we can't serve you. Agggh. Didn't say that out loud of course, but I felt like punching someone. So I'm off again soonish after I've handed in my essay and it stops raining. Third time lucky right?

Walking home last night through Rusholme at about Midnight, I was a witness to some of the Eid celebrations. The roads were completely blocked with people hanging out of seriously pimped-up cars with speakers blaring. I saw at least 6 limos last night, including a couple of stretch 4x4s. And a couple of Ferraris. It was most weird. The gridlock stretched right back to where I live, about a mile away, people hooting horns, playing music and hanging out of windows.

Had some good nights out recently. Here's one from the Geog Geol night out where the lunatics took over the asylum:

(ugh will this upload???)

Pretty mad.

Right well thats enough. I need to do some work.
