Chasing The Paycheck
What with unavailable accountants and worse, I've not been able to get my paycheque until today - a week later than expected. I have ยฃ2.50, half a loaf of bread, a tin of beans, and a packet of super noodles to live on until my cheque is cashed. I don't think that Sainsbury's Recipe Finder โฆ

Claire Goes To Norfolk
My love, Claire, disappeared to Norfolk today. I won't see her for a week. My horniness is going to be unmeasurable within days. Hmm... I wonder how much a prostitute costs around here?
A quick search on PunterNet UK (a prostitute review site) doesn't find any ladies for hire in Aberystwyth. That's disgraceful. I think I โฆ -
A Message From Reb
I received an interesting text message from my ex-girlfriend Reb today. It read:

April Fools Day
April Fools Day has always been an oppertunity for me to get back at the ineffective dickheads that are the management of Penbryn Hall at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. This year was no exception. Building upon the success of my last big prank, Penbryn-Hall.co.uk, a spoof 'official' site which almost got me expelled from โฆ

Ursela is her own, walking, talking, swashbuckling example of the monopoly flag argument. I see the flag distribution happening along almost the same lines as the current crew situation.
Example:
A new player logs on. We'll call him Steve. Steve is quickly greeted by a member of the largest, most aggressively expansionist flag/crew. We'll call โฆ -

Scatman's World
๏ปฟ
Back in early 2002, right after a shitty break-up, I moved back in with my dad and spent my nights making an alternative music video to Scatman John's "Scatman's World" out of photos of me and my friends and snippets of badly-lipsynched webcam footage. It's full of in-jokes and if you don't already โฆ -
FEAR
The site hasn't been updated in a long time so it seems like a good idea to bring something new onto AvAngel.com! Andy has made a sub-site to AvAngel.com for a Starfleet Command 2 fleet that he is in called FEAR. If you play the game, then check it out!

AvAngel.com Censorship Lifted
After a bit of a battle between Information Services at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and I, resulting in the semipermanent blocking of the Unversity's right to see www.penbryn-hall.co.uk, and the temporary blocking of AvAngel.com (Woohoo! I'm officially censored by the University), access to the site from the University's network is now re-opened. Thanks to โฆ
