Anyway, I'm back in Surrey at the moment for a, frankly, well deserved break. I have done absolutely no university related work this holiday. They don't call it a holiday for nothing you know. I have done some printing of lecture slides but I have real issues with working my @$$ off for 12 weeks solid to the point of giving my psoriasis and then using my holiday to do yet more work. Oh and yes.. you did read that right, I've been so busy and stressed I've given myself psoriasis. Which is better than what I originally thought it could be... ringworm! But yes enough griping... I've had enough of doing that. Time for some interesting observations that I have either made or completely stolen off those around me.
Is it just me or has Avril Lavigne discovered the Fountain of Youth? In the video for her new song she looks and sounds younger than ever! Seriously she looks about twelve... which makes the pelvis thrusting bathroom dance scene rather scary. But in it the married possom (aka Avril) plays both a bully and her nerdish victim. Well done Avril... way to glorify bullying. Pick on the nerds and you can steal their jock boyfriends:
On the plus side I like the song.
In local news....
Since coming home the proposed new art work has been put up on the roundabout. I don't think I've mentioned it till now but it's been proposed for a while and we've all been dreading it. It sounded so awfully tacky... a 12foot metal cockerel on the main Dorking roundabout. Sounds nasty doesn't it. Well it arrived while I was at uni and I didn't actually even notice it the first couple of times I drove past it:
So come to Dorking and see the big cock we've erected.
...Sorry I couldn't help myself.
