Plans for today: In lectures for first half of day, working on a group essay for second half of day, and then in the magical third half of the day I will be coming home, collapsing on my bed and doing more work. Fun.

It was amazing. It was beef pie (as that's what I had for lunch yesterday and it clearly had a lasting effect on me) and we frolicked in the sea and we were all in the same room until it flooded.

Back to birds
When running a festival this summer, some fucked people brought a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest over to the production office. It was very young but huge with a big beak, we thought it was a baby buzzard or a hawk.

Sadly the RSPB said unless we could put it back under the nest it had presumably fallen out of, it'd die. And the fucked people couldn't remember where they found it. Why can't people just leave nature alone? It died a day or two later despite our efforts to look after it :(

The other highlight of the weekend was the following conversation I had with some more fucked people:

*bloke grabs my arm*
'Excuse me mate, what the fuck's that over there?'
*something rustling in undergrowth, then a roe deer comes out*
'Oh it's just a deer mate, there's a few round the site' (there were, and they're a bastard to keep out cos they can jump so high)
'Nah mate, that's a dog or something isn't it? Aren't deers supposed to be massive, with like, big horns on their head?'
'Nope, you can get small ones as well, this is a roe deer'
'Are you sure it's not a baby one? Or a deer crossed with a dog? Or is it a dog?'
*bloke gets scared look on his face and walks off mumbling something about genetic modification. Then stacks it about 10 yards from me*

I'm not sure he would have known anything about deers if he was sober, to be honest...

Everything in its own time.

You got that right!

I enjoy coming on here and talking to 'real' people, and meeting them in pubs!

Yep!
A mate of mine used to have a massive thing for GuildWars...
He didn't work, and played it all day, every day.
The only time he went out for anything other than essentials was when he came to see me.

He's a lot better now though.

Turned out he was one of the best players in Europe though.
At the end of the day, that's not really a life skill though.

Darlings!
It's all gone quiet, so I have taken the liberty of starting a new evening thread and dousing this one in petrol.

*throws lit match*
*loses eyebrows*
