Last night (well, Wednesday night, it’s 2am) was Reg’s birthday night out. We started up at Butler — without Reg, I might add — before moving along the hill and then down to Varsity for a bit of drinking and table dancing (Ste, Jon) and finally Love Shack. A select few had gone to the [...]

Durham & Planet of Sound
Andy and Jay finished their Engineering project yesterday. And Lara got her Physics project in. And I did half her Physics project. So we were all out to celebrate! A few Bailey bars, we didn’t even make it to Cuth’s though — finished at 24’s with one of the most annoying train-station games… Thanks to [...]
Read MoreVal Thorens
I have just got back from my trip to Val Thorens with Collingwood College Skiing & Snowboarding Club. It was great! The snow was much better than Val d’Isère, at least for the first part of the week. The last couple of days weren’t so good, but I missed out on the penultimate day so [...]
Read MoreLaptop Digital Picture Frame
Happy Christmas! Now that Christmas has arrived, I can released this project onto the Media Network. I was waiting so that my parents wouldn’t get a sneak preview of their present! There is more information on the project page, but basically I converted an old laptop into a digital picture frame and gave it to [...]
Read MoreFull College Bar Crawl
Heavy night… The idea was to hit every college bar, including Stockton, and despite a few closures we made it! We headed over to Stockton in the afternoon and after wandering around for a while we found the bar — closed! It made it all the funnier that Mark had needed the toilet since Durham, [...]

I finally managed to make the Leap of Faith! I tried it on Friday, and managed to touch the pocket, something I’d never thought possible until that moment! So today, I just went for it, and managed to keep hold before finishing the route. As is the way with these things, the video of the [...]

Damn server down-time. Here’s the reason: It wasn’t me downloading too much stuff such that all the disk space was used up, STOP SPREADING LIES! Jon Powell Hehe. Have been back from the Cotswolds for a couple of days now. To be honest, IMHO once you’ve seen one market town you’ve seen them all, so [...]
Read MoreBirthday Night Out
What a night… “Night of Mayhem” was an accurate description for the event on Facebook (mixed feelings about the changes by the way). It started off slow — in fact, I started on my own in Wetherspoons! After that it started to grow, with Jay, Tex, Joe and Reg finding me in there, followed by [...]
Read MoreAmy’s Party
So, Brown’s is a posh place, eh? Chucky would disagree! Here’s me turning up in shirt and tie (alluding to the olden days) when I spy Chucky at the other side of the restaurant in a sweatshirt and jeans. He might as well be mocking my attire, but everyone knows that’s simply not possible… Browns [...]
Read MoreLake District & Leeds Festival
I got back from Leeds Festival last night. I would have made a separate post about the Lake District trip, but I pretty much went straight to the festival after that! The Lake District was mostly dry and warm, except for a bit of rain — oh, and when I went swimming from the lakeside! [...]
