I had the launch party for the play last night, I got COMPLETELY of my face, and professed my undying love to my director, who, it turned out, was infatuated with some hideous girl! I then repeatedly banged my head on the bar, causing it to be bruised now. Came back and fell asleep in the JCR, woke up at 6am, went to bed, was woken up at 9 by a fire alarm, thought someone had taken a sledgehammer to my head, then relayed this tale. My dignity is filing for divorce, and rehearsals will be somewhat awkward

Richard, you are clearly mad.
Why are you up at 5:30 to go rowing. Lighting up time for most locations in the UK is 6:30 (today) so surely you could stay in bed until 6:10? And it doesn't take much to dry your kit.
You don't need to stay up so late drinking either.

Because there are so many islands in the Pacific. So why has Nauru only got one island? Because it has no empire-building ability whatsoever.

Matthew - 'out' is nowhere anywhere nearer things than 'in' - you are further to the plodge, further to slops (not a bad thing), further to the town, further to the library, further to the bar, further to most departments (not sure about maths), further to almost all of the other colleges (bar Homerton), further to the pubs, further to everyone else living in college, further to the boathouse. The only thing you are closer to is the paddock, and in fact you even have to walk along the street to get to that whereas I can throw a stone and hit it.

I had the launch party for the play last night, I got COMPLETELY of my face, and professed my undying love to my director, who, it turned out, was infatuated with some hideous girl! I then repeatedly banged my head on the bar, causing it to be bruised now. Came back and fell asleep in the JCR, woke up at 6am, went to bed, was woken up at 9 by a fire alarm, thought someone had taken a sledgehammer to my head, then relayed this tale. My dignity is filing for divorce, and rehearsals will be somewhat awkward

I have every intention of eating/drinking to at least a value of £50. And I'm assuming the entertainments at a quality May Ball will be way better than a clearly dodgy Downing Event.

A very moving story, I thought.
My Story
Posted from
131.111.8.98
Once upon a time there was a cat called Mable. Mable was a brown cat. She lived in the cupboard under the stairs, and she used to keep all of her stuff in there. Little bits of wool. String. Cotton reels. Mable was a clever cat.
One day Mable decided she liked water, so thought she would take up rowing. But Mable only likes warm water, and she doesn't like water that doesn't have a beach next door to it. But nevertheless she trundled down to the river, where she started to get into the boat.
This one day, the sneaky evil Mr River Authority was at the river too. "Aha!" he cried, "I will show all those pesky rowers what I can do!", and so he decided to open the lock at the most inconvenient time, thus raising the level of the water by 6 inches.
Poor Mable had no option but to wade out into the icy cold water with her little poors. Mable WAS a silly cat!!! Although she was purring loudly, she was really cold and the water aggravated her polio, making her little feet sore.
When Mable was finally in the boat she tightened up her shoes, making sure she didn't trap her little feet in the bindings, and slowly she took a stroke, feathering gently as she went. Splish Splash, splish splash, all along the river.
Evil Mr River Authority was not a happy bunny, and decided to get revenge on the wicked rowers, so he decided to chuck some random lumps of log into the river, which broke poor Mable's blade. Rowing along almost oblivious to the danger, her blade got stuck in the roots of one of the tree pieces, and WHOOPS!!! Poor Mable caught an ejector crab.
Little Mable was unlucky. She was plucked clean from the seat of her boat just as she went in for the catch, and was neatly thrown out of strokeside, just as a manly burlesque crew of eight male dog rowers came past. They all started laughing at her.
Mable was wet and cold and bobbing along in the river Mac. Silly Mable. What a foolish cat you are!
And so Mable went back to the boathouse, where they dried her off and put her on her way to lectures.
And then she volunteered to get up at 5:30 the following morning to do it again.
What a silly cat!

We have lent bumps next week and we are going to get triple-overbumped every day. The woe, the woe...!

Feta and Olives will merely make you fat, not liberated.
Francis was more than right to complain after that no-goal. Typical Palace though, they do well against the good teams and then it's up to crap teams like Leeds to knock them out.
Andy - are you going to the Queens ball this year? Is it supposed to be as good this year as everyone reckons or is that just a random rumour? Do you want tickets for the Downing Event?

At 22:00:25 yesterday, someone mounted a Denial of Service attack against The Outer Circle. They must have pressed Refresh some 239 times in order to get the views/posts count above 4. They seem to be a particular fan of page 19 of the guestbook. The attack finished at 22:02:33.
So what do you know about this mystery man. He uses IP address 131.111.8.103. That's one of the generic Cambridge IP addresses. The plot thickens...
So I have a look in my website logs, and along with the IP address is stored the 'browser string' that your browser sends with each request. This turns out to be (MSIE+5.5;+Windows+98;+Win+9x+4.90).
So, who can it be? I correlate previous posts with browser strings. Barry is (MSIE+5.0;+Windows+98;+DigExt). I am (MSIE+5.0;+Windows+ME). Andy is (MSIE+5.5;+Windows+98;+Win+9x+4.90). Andy...

Me, Matthew and Richard, doing a Lord of the Rings-style quest to get some important thing to a certain place. Except that place was Baghdad. Don't know what the thing was. We had a snowball fight with the baddies (Brighton fans for some reason) then got on a train to Baghdad. I was quite scared, and we realised that if there was a war we'd have to walk all the way home. Anyway, we were walking along the rooftops of Baghdad (which looked like Belgrade, and we came to the end and were completely stuck. But a man helped us get down to the ground and offered us a day's work (15 hours!) on his building site for 30p an hour. Richard accepted that but I forced him up to 40p an hour. I was very proud.
Hope you enjoyed the story. Hopefully I'll get the next installment tonight...

Typical lawyer! I said fluuuuuuuuh, not fluuuuuuh. An entirely unrelated expression.

Do you have a license to use 'fluuuuuuh'? We will be considering our clients legal position

'Great' is not quite the word I would use to describe my act. In the incredibly unlikely event of my winning however, I would laugh and laugh and laugh...
As it is, the audience will laugh and laugh and laugh...

There will come a day of reckoning...and that day will be......

Watch out, this one is gonna be good. I am looking forward to Matthew's act - it should be great.
I am less looking forward to my act - it should be funny, but possibly pants. More likely to be pants.
