What's Going On?

Yesterday was Dad's graduation day and it was fun filled. Actually it was pretty good, not too long, a couple of interesting speeches and it made me realise that Dad's qualification is fairly legitimate, as I was sort of questioning how regular it was before yesterday. One of the highlights of the day was the speech given by the Chancellor, whose name, I think, is Ivor Connely. He was a great speaker who was concise, clear, amusing and very musical with that Irish accent of his. Apparently he used to be the CEO of Guinness.

One of Dad's fellow graduands, and the only other person from Australia, is the CEO for the Europe divison of T2, who apparently make alot of games, including the successful Grand Theft Auto series.

This is a very dull post and I apologise for it.

Things have settled down since my last out pouring of bile, but things can still be pretty funny at times. We're in Cambridge at the moment. I think that we're heading north from here, but don't know where to. Apparently we've got a barbecue lined up in Scotland with a baron. The story goes that one of the people associated with the creating of Dad's university is an orphan. He is also incredibly wealthy now, having set up a publishing house. So what do you do if you've got no parents and no real family history to speak of? Buy a baroncy. Which he did. And if you're a baron why would you have a barbecue? Because you can. Well, that and also back in the Middle Ages the Baron who was around at that time burned a few people at the stake, and there is only a couple of times a year when the witch's descendants can absolve the Baron from his guilt. Something like that anyway. I think that we are going to be gatecrashing the party.

Yesterday afternoon I harassed a few bar staff at the hotel, I also drank too many beers in the afternoon by myself and then passed out on the bed. I missed dinner unfortunately.

So, yeah, that's about it really. Cambridge is a nice sort of a place, I would have liked to go out last night, what with it being Halloween and a university town and all, but the place where we are staying is actually a fair distance from Cambridge itself. Oh well.

I hope to meet up with Andy and Callum this week, we'll see how things go. I'm pretty keen to get to Scotland, and believe it or not, I'm pretty keen to get home too. Weird, huh? Still, I think London is a cool kind of place, and may require further extended investigation.

I need a haircut soon.
