I watched Airplane with my housemates last night, I’m so
glad that film exists.
You guys, I think I have found the perfect society to join.
Well technically it isn’t a society because it isn’t allowed to be supported by
the union. It is called UBRUB which stands for Urban Beverage Racing University
of Bristol I believe. They organise races were you are tied by the wrists in
teams of three and have to race between the bars and drink the allotted drinks
at each place. Our team did not do particularly well, we weren’t allowed out of
the first bar for ages because the next race people blocked the door. We still
managed to get through the 7 bars in about 40 minutes which wasn’t too bad a
time. In all honesty, the actually running part was a bit of an ordeal, I am
horribly unfit and it was actually quite a long run. I was particularly
struggling after strawpedoing half a bottle of wine and then having to do a
solid 10 minute jog to the next bar, I managed to keep it all down which is
more than can be said for a lot of the other competitors including my teammate
Andy who managed to spray the toilet of the last bar with bright red vomit.
Maybe you can come visit next time there is a race on and we can enter a team.
I had my second hospital placement all last week. I really
enjoyed it again, actually getting to see patients is so much better than
lectures. All the UBRUBing took place on Thursday night so I felt less than
fresh having to go to the hospital on Friday to give my patient presentation to
some big fancy consultant. Luckily he asked me a load of questions on Cushing’s
syndrome and I happened to have seen a patient with that the day before so I
came up with a load of fancy pants answers about it and it all went well.
But that’s enough about me, lets talk about you.
David, I’m glad you’re looking into the bone marrow thing, I
can’t say enough how good it is to do, the rest of you, I would love it if you
could look into it too. Also, are you Ben Marwooding? And if not are you at
least back for the weekend?
Juliet, I agree with David, you seem to have very few
lectures. Or do you just not go to lots of them? Also fuck Scotland.
Josh, you’re fireworks night sounds excellent, much more
successful than mine where we ended up having to stand in the road outside the
display because we got there too late. In responses to your organ removal
question, everything inside you can all just squish about a bit anyway so the
gap just get filled by all the other stuff inside you spreading out a bit, also
your appendix is pretty damn tiny so it doesn’t leave much of a gap. I am also
glad that you have a Will ladder, I sure hope I am near the top. Finally, hi
housemate Will, congratulations on having such an excellent name.
So I’ll be home next week on Thursday for Ben Marwood but
then I am going to have to go back to Bristol for Friday things and then come
back to Swindon/home again in the evening. I am then going to see all my extended
family on Sunday near Leicester somewhere and then try and get back to Bristol
on time for Monday lectures. All in all a busy weekend but hopefully it will
involve seeing some kittens which will be lovely, I can’t wait.
I finished Modern Warfare 3 this week as well. I was really
rather disappointed by the story this time. The levels were really beautiful
and the graphics were exceptional but the story just wasn’t as good as previous
ones. Having said that, I was pretty darn sad at one point, I won’t spoil it
for any of you that want to play it, but you’ll know when you get there.
Finally I ordered Frank Turner’s second 3 years CD. It
should come on Monday and I look forward to it greatly, I already have quite a
few of the songs but there are also some new covers and b sides that I haven’t
so that’ll be exciting.
