"Is my penis attached to your mother?"
Possibly the strangest thing I've ever heard.
For more elevated debate - don't watch that, watch this.

"I have pressure, you have pressure"

Guardian has a "Daily Mail" moment?
From the "Technically true but nonetheless slightly misleading" file:
"Jeanne Wilding dumped oil, animal corpses and broken glass on neighbours' drives while blasting out choral works depicting rape and murder in the middle of the night."
I heard these choral works on radio 4 this morning. The controversial opus? Carmina Burana. So yes - very distessing played throughout the night, as any loud music would be. But the "rape and murder" - surely only offensive if you happen to know 13th century monastic vernacular!

The Son's of Owain Glen-Bap
One of the things I love about living part time in Wales is learning about their long and proud cultural heritage. See Lyewellyn's post. So that's why my sandwiches are served bent!
Scared of stalkers? Skip Shoreditch.
The transparent society is on its way it seems - cctv feed live into people's homes in Shoreditch, and set to go national soon. Come bundled with - I kid you not - the ASBO channel. Isn't it unlawful to name criminals under 16 anyway?

Grey Matters Ltd
I keep seeing this van in Aber:
It's possibly he funniest vehicle I've ever seen (but then again I am terrified of clown cars).
The text reads
Grey Matters Ltd
24 Hour Emergency Philosopher
Don't even think about it, call us instead!
Same day service within the M25
All thought considered from an inkling to a eureka!
10% discount when you mention Tarski's argument that the model theoretic characterization of logical consequence os more basic than its characterization in terms of a deductive system
I think that's funny - maybe I've been a logician too long...
Good morning Aberystwyth: a photo essay
Okay - there's this van, see. With a very funny decal. And I wanted to take a photo of it (as you do), but couldn't justify taking the camera for that reason alone (what if the van wasn't there? How silly would I feel then eh!) So today I inflict uppon you: "Scenes from a walk to work". If you're sitting comfortably, let's begin...
The walk to work is steep - but the trees are in bloom and the weather's nice...
In fact - it just gets steeper, the higher you go. There are times I'm convinced that Aber is just a cosmic joke at the expense of my cardio-vascular system.
Still climbing - I was going to snap the field full of rather charming shep (they look rather sleek and modern now they've been shorn) but I guess it was their day off or something.
At last - the money shot. This isn't the highest part of my walk, but the steepest parts are behind me now. This is where I usally pause, on the pretext of admiring the view - and a pretty good pretext it is too. I live at sea-level, just fyi!
Campus itself is very pleasant, though definitely has that mid 20th century vibe about it. There is an interesting mix of cutesy little woodland paths and seriously brutal buildings - I keep thinking I've wandered into Center Parcs by mistake...
So that's where I am now - typing away when I should be working. Damn these blog thingies: how's a girl supposed to get anthing done?
