If anyone's looking for a room to rent in Central London (W1H), there are 4 rooms free in this house. It's situated just off Baker Street and Marylebone Road. 130 p/w... and you get me for a housemate - talk about value!

President Bush and Colin Powell are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Powell sitting over there?"

The weirdest competition in the world.

St. Matthew's Day

St. Matthew's day is on the 21st and the reason I mention this is because it is a tradition of my old school to march through the City of London every year on St. Matthew's day (or on the Fri around when it is). Lead by the school band we all group according to our boarding houses, and march past bewildered pedestrians (because of our strange uniforms), avoid the evidence of the presence of mounted police and go to see the Lord Mayor. It's all good fun. Can't go to see them this year since I'm working but this website has some good photos.

OxbridgeTutors

Went along to a training session for OxbridgeTutors today and have signed up with the intention of becoming the tutor ~~and spiritual guru~~ of some poor ~~git~~ student. Think it might be quite fun, especially since I've never formally taught anyone anything before. Don't know how I'm going to find the time... I seem to have signed myself up for lots of things lately... I discovered that there is a first aid course centre just round the corner from me. I think I'll get onto that as well. Seems like a worthwhile thing to do!

You are The Weakest Link. Goodbye!

I'm thinking about applying to be on The Weakest Link. Here's where to find the application form if anyone else is also interested in coming face to face with Anne Robinson. I may try to get in the audience (of TWL or some other show) first to gauge how scary it is though. Big Brother 4? No way!
