heading home

With a bit of luck, I should be able to take a day off work on either Friday or Saturday night, letting me go to Strawberry Fair without falling asleep on the grass. Which should I choose?

[Friday means gothsoc and being awake for strawberry fair. Saturday allows me to drink at/after the fair, and messes up my sleep less]

In the meantime, I’m heading off to Oakham for a couple of days, so you won’t be seeing me until the other end of the week. Enjoy the exams
:P

Also: apologies for my last post; I really didn’t intend it as an attack on anybody, more a general curiosity about why conversations turn that way. Sorry if I offended people!

Now, back to work in an office that is mostly empty, but not quite empty enough for naked dancing
:(

French speakers needed

Is there anybody here who speaks good French, and has some time tonight?

I’m helping my sister write an application for a French university, and we’re in dire need of a good french-speaker to give us a hand proofreading etc.

You’ll win eternal gratitude and many, many drinks.

Please?

Police in Iraq

Below the cut is a braindump on what’s going on with police forces in Iraq at the moment, and in particular why they are getting such heavy media coverage right now. I’ve not quite got my head around it, so it’s a splurge more than anything coherent.

[not cross-posted to [IAG](http://www.iraqanalysis.org) until I can make more sense of it all]

Life beyond the Kambar

There is no Calling in a fortnight’s time. What shall we do instead?

Suggestions so far are:

  1. The boring: find a pub, same as usual
  2. The exciting: gather on castle hill, dance and frolic in the open air
  3. The marginally less boring: congeal in somebody’s room (assuming we can find a willing room-donor living near the town centre)
