You all watching Question Time or Newsnight or something?
Alt question: benefit reform - good or bad?
Alt alt question: what's the most annoying thing about your neighbour? Mine would be the lad downstairs' propensity to get himself arrested on a regular basis, coupled with his fairly new girlfriend's laugh. She sounds like a donkey thats being fisted by the Rock whilst simultaneously having 100 volts of electricity shot through its scrotum. Oh, and her banging on his door at 2 am having lost the battery of her phone and her windsail knickers on a neighbour's step.

every single time I drive past their house to go to school it runs out in front of me and then stops in the middle of the road, and even if I try to go around it, it usually tries to race me down the lane.
and the neighbours call it cute. fuckheads.

Run the fucking thing down. It runs out in front of you and you could be blinded/distracted by something and didn't see it. No more problem dog. Owners own fault for not having the damn thing secured properly. Unless you live on their property, then all you can do is have a quiet word about it.

On one side is Tesco, and they're quiet. On the other is a music school. On a Saturday, I'll be pottering around, and I'll get spooky music coming through the walls, soundtracking my day. Then, I put on some heavy rock, crank it up to 11, and get antisocial!
Except I don't. I listen to the nice music and wish I could play the piano.

I was totally impressing the really fit girlfriend of the fiddle player with my TOTALLY AWESOME BEER ORDERING SKILZ and then she frothed in her pants and we had to get a mop to clean it up. When I say mop, I mean a lamb, and then the next day she bought me fish and chips from a chippy that was like six miles away and I totally helped her on that arduous task by getting the cutlery out.
Then I bought her another beer, or at least I asked her of she wanted one, and she frothed her knickers again, made her excuses to her frankly rubbish boyfriend and took me round the corner to show me her etchings, which I refused. Then she totally gave me a hickey and said she was sorry it wouldn't work between us but still gave me her number just in case I changed my mind.
I texted her an hour ago. Nothing yet, but I think she's in Belgium or something giving fiddle boy some moral support. Whilst wishing she was giving me a blow job, beacuse she totally likes cum that tastes like beer and chips.

Less yay for all the finallists who have their exams half way through term and insist on being very loudly trashed so everyone knows theyre finished, but do it in an out of the way place so the porters don;t notice RIGHT OUTSIDE MY FUCKING WINDOW!
Also, I have the room above the gym, and as such will normally be revising to either the *whump* *whump* *whump* *whump* of someone on the treadmill, the *CLANG* of someone dropping the weights (which can be heard 2 floors up), or the screaming of the rowing teams training (for the women's teams, substitute excessively loud music.).
On the plus side, it means I will probably get the same room next year, so wont have to move all my stuff into vac storage (I have an ergonomic chair (which is going home anyway) and a height adjustable desk from DSA due to having a spakky back, so not having to lug the desk up a flight of stairs is a definite plus)

Which all colleges in Oxford and Cambridge have at least one of.
Luckily, it was designed by someone with a bit of sense so instead of a tiny roomed glass and concrete monstrosity, we have a large roomed brick building, with epic kitchens with balconies, but which only avoids looking ugly as fuck by being made of bricks (and even then, that's probably just because I'm used to it).
