Well they did it! The crazy members of society also known as occupational therapists had there end of degree ball at Cardiff city hall. Expanded description later, in the meantime here are the links to the galleries.

I love working on my PhD, especially when I get to go to Dublin and even more when the Gala dinner is held in the Guinness Storehouse! So here are a few pics and a video (you need sound).

Warning this video has audio so if you are at work and supposed to be working you might want to turn the volume down. But if you do that then you will kind off miss the point of this clip…

Without a doubt the most beautiful city in the world, well the best I’ve been to (sorry Birmingham you have been dethroned!) I’m going to add some more galleries in the next few weeks, in the meantime:

Well there was a police woman, a fireman, a cave woman, a few cowboys, Marilyn, a pirate, Dorothy, an angel, Vicky Pollard and many others. Bit disappointing that my awesome suggestion of Swedish cheerleaders was not followed, but hey, here is the gallery:

Like any self respecting man I fear my girlfriend when she is angry. So when the Christmas tree decided not to cooperate with her I soon realised I was living on borrowed time. After being shouted at `strongly’ advised that next year we were getting an artificial tree I managed to take refuge in another room. Anyway she battled on and before too long I was no longer – in her eyes – the antichrist. The finished result:

Christmas is a time of receiving presents, drinking beer, being skint and travelling. I like drinking beer and I can always make room for receiving presents as for travelling, well… Anyway, here are a few pics from last weekend. I can’t think of anything funny to write (I can hear the ‘could you ever’ lines now) so here is the gallery.

I went to Belgrade to present a paper at Eurocon 2005. Now at times wheelchair access in the UK is pretty limited. But compared to Belgrade, the UK is amazing. Now if we factor in snow… In short very, very hard work. No drop curbs, everyone asking my sister what I wanted etc. And trick zebra crossings and green men. I.e. green man, zebra crossing does not mean cross the road! Anyway Belgrade seemed a really interesting place that unfortunately because of the weather I couldn’t really see. I can describe the path from the hotel to the conference centre though!

Yes my car hadn’t been scratched/driven into in a few months so it had to happen – a game of chicken pheasant on a dual carriageway. Fair play to the pheasant, I think it guessed its time was up and simply took no prisoners! Anyway replacing my bumper and grill will waste £350. Or in more meaningful terms, 175 pints of Guinness!
