Salutations all, one has returned from a trek into the depths of the university library in search of nazi gold or a particular book, whichever came first, alas neither did and i was rescued by a librarian who found me gibbering on about almanacs. Still a stiff drink later and I was feeling more myself. Seriously one shouldn't enter into these things likely!

Nazi gold? One won't ask as I'm not sur eone would like the answer.

In todays news, Birmingham is colder than Hitler's heart, my hands are frozen, my feet are wet and my central heating isn't working.

Don't you just love Winter?

Shortly before I prepared this evening's usual tea with two sugars and a few dabs of milk (I was not pleased at the lack of cream in my refrigerator), I had witnessed on YouTube a very disturbing thing.

If many of you have not yet heard, Michael Richards (the bloke who played Kramer on Seinfeld) made a fool of himself several days ago at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood. According to several accounts, the comedian was heckled and interrupted during his routine and several minutes into the act began swearing and berrating the two black audience members with racial name calling and profuse swearing. He then proceeded to linger on stage for a short while arguing with the patrons, who had remarked on his recent lack of professional success, before leaving the stage.

I, for one, am shocked. He followed this outburst with a public apology on The Letterman Show, which is almost as fascinating to watch as the outburst itself. You can view both of these without too much searching on YouTube, though one of the Letterman clips have been removed due to copyright issues. So watch it while you can!

Gentlemen, if you would but read my retort, the post you are both referring to has been dealt with. I do not condone flaming within this club from either party, so consider yourselves warned.

One finds curling up on the sofa over an episode of Torchwood with one's girlfriend makes an excellent way to stave off winter's chill

I had a look at it, and it was most interesting. Really bad show on his part though.

That does indeed sound like a "Happy moment".

Oh for the joy of some female company.

Chin up, old boy. She's out there somewhere, it's just a matter of finding her.

It's the finding that's the difficulty, my good man. Moreover, the finding her before some other blighter does.

Have any of that brandy left, TNT?

Well my good sir, you shouldn't really be that concerned about the difficulty of finding her, because there's plenty more ladies along the way. I've got some brandy left, high quality too is what.. Here, have a glass.

Look on the bright side, I spent 5 1/2 years wandering the wilderness from my last meaningful relationship before getting together with Becki. Can you really blame me for being happy?

Well, you still have two. Personally, I'd hope you get to go further afield than Birmingham, although Aberystwyth is a bit of a dive

Of all the Universities in Wales, I've only heard of good stuff about Bangor... mainly because they took my best mate's sister away for three years

Huzzah!

Rather good to be reminded that there is life in this place yet...

It does get rather disconcerting when one wakes up to find Jeeves dusting cobwebs off one's dinner-jacket. Especially when one is still wearing it.

Now, speaking of exploration, I'm going up to the tower. Perhaps there is yet something I have not seen...

Trust me, it's for the best. Attending Oxbridge is like joining the Hitler Youth. They constantly indoctrinate you with the feeling that all other universities are lesser places, which is certainly not the way to go through your education.
