I can't guarantee her choice of outfit, nor that I can get a photo of her in motion...

You might not, but I certainly will

Well, unless we were papped, no one took photos last night. I was sporting a red yacf jersey, and she was beautifully coordinated in red & white lycra

Next saturday she will look sensational. Not that she didn't look sensational last night, but it'll be great.

Lots of dragonflies came to see me riding home through the forest because they knew that in my left-hand pannier I was carrying my first ever pair of clipless shoes.

More congratulations to PB LLB.

I too am on my holibobs, and hopefully by the time I get back I will have heard about this new job I have applied for.

Well done that bear, btw

Polar Bear · « **Reply #2512 on:** 24 July, 2010, 09:37:22 am »

Many thanks folks.

I'm a bit woozy-headed this morning. A few drams of The Dalwhinnie might have contributed to this state.

Well done PB

24th to 30th July. It's 9am to 9pm every day. What spare time I have will be spent working on the assignments so I very much doubt it, plus I'm taking books and notes and no bike.

Walk along Coates Bldg corridors quietly in between classes pls.!

It's outside term time (hence the use of the halls of residence) but I guess you lot are there all year round. No idea where the actual lectures will be...

Staying in Lenton and Wortley Hall, lectures in the Portland Building (level C).

No real free time though, have assignments to do and work to write up.

Stereotypical OU students and tutors abound.

I (the Limited company to be precise) have received a cheque from HMRC

A unique experience

I think I've finally got the last fracking, frelling earwig out of my camping gear.

If I camp on Dunwich beach again I'm taking heavy weaponry...........at least I didn't indulge my usual habit of sleeping with the inner tent unzipped....shudder.......

rogerzilla · « **Reply #2520 on:** 27 July, 2010, 07:03:10 pm »

I found my Briko sunglasses inside the tent liner when I did a practice pitch on the lawn. They've been crammed into the bag since last September but are intact.

andrewc · « **Reply #2521 on:** 28 July, 2010, 07:52:19 am »

I found 4 more earwigs, deaded inside my Trangia burner.
