The greatness of El Goog!

El Goog (read it backwards… there, now you know what’s going on…) is possibly the best creator random stuff ever. I got an email from my good friend Charlotte, telling me all about her exploits with El Goog.

Hey!
Being really bored yesterday, my friend Gill and I decided to email our history teacher (Miss Baker, she’s [...]

Exciting political things

Today, on my way into the union, I saw a medium sized crowd of people, under large Liberal Democrat signs. On the way out, I saw the crowd, with signs, following someone, while the police kept them at bay. Some were shouting things like “Why are you giving prisoners the vote?” I can only conclude [...]

Vegans and possums

The Weekend Away

Well, I got back this Sunday from a weekend away with Church. We went to the Yorkshire Dales to stay in log cabins and do Churchy stuff. Naturally, it started in complete disorganisation on my part. Got a letter which clearly stated “Be at church for 5pm!. Come 4.50, I was just beginning to think, [...]
