Elections, morons, jopke

I'm not posting on a weekly basis, honest...

Bill Fillmaff is a comedy genius. Random fluctuations of dumb luck. Classic. www.billfillmaff.com if you're wondering. Jopke jopke jopke.

Well, we've had one of those election things, and not a lot has changed really. Labour's majority has been halved and a bit, that's about it. Hats off to the Blaenau Gwent people for standing up to discriminatory policies from Labour, and I suppose Galloway's election is a bit of a coup. Some guy in Northern Ireland went whose name I forget. Won a Nobel peace prize, apparently. Funny that, when was the last time there was peace there?

Pretty much done with lectures now. Have two hours of torts on Friday but there's really not much to cover there and I'll probably be en route to Coventry at the time in order to play the 5 pound NLHE event (1pm start, no way I can get from Sheffield to Warwick in two hours without a chopper). Looking forward to the team event if we can find two more people to join the dream team of me, Rich and Milan... that match could be over very quickly. Horse will be fun as well... I need to learn razz quickly and the only material I have is, ironically, Hellmuth's :-)

As for being done with lectures, how many fucking imbeciles are there on my course? Ignoring the fact that you can barely hear the lecturer due to random talking and giggling (if you want a chat, there's a bar like two minutes away), I swear that not only did someone have their phone ring (silence is easy, motherfucker), but they started a conversation as well. Jesus. I'd be able to tell properly but there's so much fucking background noise it's untrue. If you want to do something other than listen to the lecturer quietly, fuck off. It's that simple. Then we can downscale to an actual lecture theatre.

Steel Press printed my political bias rant. Nice. And they referred to it in their editorial. Nick Clegg (former MEP, no less) got in in any case. Wasn't quite as marginal a constituency as I thought, on rechecking the 2001 result. Was only a 2% swing in any case.

Two seminars to go then we're done barring exams. Property in less than two weeks, revision starts here :-(

[edit (11/5) - to continue with the fucking imbeciles point, I'm pretty sure that they didn't spend lots of cash on computers in the Crookesmoor library for people to be playing Spider Solitaire. Good job there was a computer free for a change at the time, otherwise I'd predict a riot]
