English Pride

Even though we're out of the World Cup, we can still restore some English pride because Wimbledon starts today. There's a useful real-time scoreboard on the website if you can't get to a TV. Go Tim!

Down and Out

Have been too disappointed with England being out of the World Cup to write much. Plus I'm actually quite ill... I should be better soon though.

I'm moving down to London on Tues so this website will disappear for a couple of weeks, then hopefully will reappear at www.nimisis.com once a phoneline and ADSL is up and running in my new place (and I've sorted out a webserver). See you then.

Latent Love

"Latent love" is up and running now. LL is a new (but evil) addition to this website that will probably cause many break-ups. Better to know he/she is not the one sooner rather than later! You'll thank me.

Eye Injuries

"You have a dirty great big scratch on your cornea" was the verdict by the doctor after 5 hours of waiting in A&E tonight. I did it by jumping over a fence and into the spread branches of a tree. Branch vs Dave and Branch won. Foolish, but apparently my contact lens saved further damage so I think I can count myself lucky.

Waiting for 5 hours is enough to cheese anyone off but having to wait 5 hours having been turned away by Boots is infuriating. They could've seen me straight away but didn't because they were afraid I might sue them! Was not happy about that. How cynical! I just wanted to be looked at...

I am a master!

Went down to the Senate House to see that I haven't failed my exams but have got my M.Eng. Yeah baby!

To be perfectly honest, I think this site deserves one of those web awards of some description. I've seen some frankly schoolboy HTML efforts get "Cool Site of the Day" or something similar so I think I shall give myself the "Website with the Least Visitors" award. Believe me, it's justified.

Maybe after my imminent move to www.nimisis.com you'll all start to notice me...

[have your say]

Played some of the best volleyball of my life today. The "Downing Villagers" did so well! We got out of Group C (the group of death) and into the quarter finals undefeated but then lost the plot against the Zoology department. I hate animals now. Shame... but we did well.

See the results.

[comments]

It was great to watch Denmark play like they had a plane to catch. Got quite abusive during the match... I called them citizens of a stub of a country, full of Vikings and only worthy of acid rain... Sorry, very embarassed and ashamed now. World Cup fever is taking over!

Bring on Brazil ~~or Belgium~~.
