Well, sort of both really. And I wasn't exactly trying to stop her. But
hey, I'm leaving the country on October 1st for about a year, so if I can
only hold out until then...

I rarely think of an Oxbridge education as a priviledge, more of a
burden... You didn't miss much by not coming here, and ending up somewhere
that has a decent social life & enough money left after you've paid the
rent to afford it... (I'm just jealous cos Nottingham didn't want me...)

"The greatest wisdom is in knowing that you are not wise". I can't remeber
who said that, but it sounds good.


I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but I read somewhere (Select
maybe?) that when Duglas was making the B&S documentary, he got so pissed
off with Stuart M refusing to be interviewed that he threatened to
disprove the myth about him being a former boxer by going round to his
house and beating the crap out of him. And that Sarah agreed to do an
interview, but only if she could wear a Darth Vader mask throughout...



Anyone fancy offering me a job for the summer?
