The Flat Is Tidy
Thanks to JTA for his help. Huge thanks to Matt (temporarily minus his hat) for his help: feed the guy oatcakes and rum and he'll mop your floor! Winnage!
This is, of course, a result of the anticipated sale of the building we live in. The owners of MG's cafe, below us, and - in fact … -
The Aber Effect
Last night really works as a great example of the 'Aber Effect'. Claire and I went along to Sundeep's housewarming party, where she was feeding curry to her housemates and those of us who came along to welcome her back into Aberystwyth. I'd also promised to help sort her computer out with an internet connection, …

A Bad Slogan Put To Good Use
My apologies to those of you to whom this means nothing.
Things look better in the light of a new day. I suppose that means something on several levels.
Desktop wallpapers and high-quality versions of the image above are available here. [update: link very dead]
Thanks for listening. -

My New Route Home From Work
Tide permitting, I've been taking a new route home from work. It's not much of a shortcut, not even taking 30 seconds off my time to get home, but it's certainly a lot more fun than the regular route. Of course; it's only accessible at high tide, and it does take a little bit of …

Fire On The Beach
This is what makes Aber great: that somebody can suggest a fire and a couple of hours later there are over a dozen people huddled round a pile of wood, separating burgers.
We had some difficulty getting the fire lit to begin with - perhaps something to do with the fact that it had been snowing … -

Playing Lord of the Rings, in The Flat
I've been pulling old videos off of devices I used to use. This came from an early-2000s mobile phone, back when mobile phones were REALLY bad at video. It features Paul M, Ruth V, Matt R, JTA, and Claire M playing a single turn of the Lord of the Rings boardgame (it was a complicated … -
Wild Winter For Aberystwyth
All the usual old folks are saying that this winter could be even wetter and wilder than last year for Aberystwyth. We had a hailstorm come in from the sea, today, which battered quite marvellously at the front of our new sea-facing offices. The picture above was snapped just before it started to fall.
Opening the … -
Things That Have Been Happening
I've had a couple of moderately hectic days, and somehow haven't found time to tell you all about them yet. Let's see what I can remember:
The Tale Of Troma Night 50
Troma Night 50 was a success: a chance to re-watch some of the films that made Troma Night's 1 and 2 so... bizarre. And it … -
Aber Graduates Earn Least In UK
This is just fucking weak: the average salary of an Aberystwyth graduate is just £12,968... the lowest in the UK. And on this crappy 'probationary period', that's still more than I earn. Fucking shitty.
Feeling unmotivated now. Not getting enough work done. -
Hide & Seek
Following the success of our last game of hide & seek in the Castle, Paul, Bryn, Claire and I went for another game last night. Ah; the simple joys of childish fun - legging it around a darkened ruin at night. Right up until silly screaming girls filled the area. Then we left.
In other news, … -
