# Trust me
there was a 10 minute argument in the office about that before I posted and it's a herd (Or pod, or gam).

Never ever is it school.

# in my office
I just suggested a 'shitload of whales' - then you posted that. An obvious case of theft.

# Made the mistake of going there for a holiday
The idea was to go and then find out what was there when we arrived.

Aberystwyth should have been an Infocom adventure for the VIC-20:

You are in Aberystwyth: There is fuck all here.
> N
You north of in Aberystwyth: There is fuck all here.
> N
You are north of Aberystwyth: There is fuck all here.
> E
You are north east of Aberystwyth: There is fuck all here.
> S.S.S.S
You are south east of Aberystwyth: There is fuck all here.
> W
You are south of Aberystwyth: There is fuck all here.
> W
You have drowned
Score [0/514]
Play again?

# Oi some of us live in Aberystwyth
At least one does, and there's loads here, honest.

Oh alright there's bugger all, but don't rub it in OK
