    It was sunny this morning when the Queen was meant to be in George Square, but it started pouring after she left, unfortunately. The rain hardly ever deters royalists in any case. Would have been funny if the royalists had been soaked because whenever the crowds for these things are interviewed on TV they're always invariably made up of absolute twunts.

    It's a waste of money, that's what I object to. The government is going to slash/remove people's benefits yet they insist on spunking obscene amounts of money on bull**** events like this (yes I know it's the Scottish government who would have organised this one :rolleyes:).
    Too much benefit money is going to people who don't need or deserve it anyway, it's hardly something to hold up as a good governmental expense.

    Long live the Queen.

    Interested to note in papers this weekend that the Scottish Executive is now legally the Scottish Government as of the beginning of the month.

    I knew they'd budge on this one before I did.

    Does anyone know if the Fraser Building is open over summer. I've lost my University card and I want to make a new one however the office has been closed the two times I've been. I don't know if it is luck or just genuinely the place is closed :/

    It was open when I went in earlier this week.

    After your last exam really, usually the second week of December?

    I'm sure we could get up a fresher drinking game.

    Two fingers for spotting a fresher in an essentially neon top.

    Finish your drink for a Walk of Shame. (I realise this encourages morning drinking. I'm all for that)

    Down a shot every time you hear the totally, like, awesome Glasgow Uni accent. They'll be rubber by lunchtime.

    (But I remember you've never heard it ).

    I will be looking out for it. I've sort of been listening out already, but I'm seemingly the only non international student frequenting the library at the moment.

    It's a source of some shame to me that I felt old not for the first time on a birthday but on a day when freshers started asking me where things were.
