Cyloniversity

So today I enrolled at the University of Wales, Newport. This place puts the "technic" in Polytechnic. It's the same place my Dad went to when he was well younger than me so circa 1823. I'm studying an Engineering HND and one of the modules I'm taking is a basic introduction into Robotics. Having been watching a hell of a lot of Battlestar Galactica and being a big fan of the Terminator films it's an obvious choice to take. Not only will I get a qualification I could also end up starting a war between Humans and Machines!

Uni seemed Ok, I didn't really talk to many people what them being Welsh. I'm only just recovering from 8 months of the Glasweigen accent reverberating around my head. The course looks interesting enough though and I've already been given my first design project for January. It's going to be a Dragons Den style first draft of an ideal.

Last night I went to watch Rovers against Southampton. The game ended 3-2 to Rovers with us scoring in the 96 minute. There's not much I can say about the game to be honest. I don't think I could give it enough of a bigging up, wonderful show by the gas. I'm in two minds about going to Norwich on Saturday if I can get a cheap lift/train. My Parents got Fred a Rovers - Leeds ticket today, it's going to be her fourth match and she's yet to see us loose. Should be a cracking game between two inform sides and the atmosphere is going to be something special. The fact that she's going to be there will make the day for me though. 'nuff softing.

96th Minute



Sometimes, sometimes it's just amazing.

Southampton Express


So today I shall be heading down on a mini-bus with my Mother and Father (fresh back from Mexico) and Ted to Southampton to watch the Rovers. Their shall be a huge away following and I'm hopeful of coming home with three points. Rickie Lambert will be making his first appearance since leaving Rovers for a million pounds in August. He really should get a wonderful reception from the traveling Gasheads for his years at the Mem. Lets not forget he was a big hand in our promotion, FA Cup run and capturing stability in the third tier. One of the most entertaining players I've seen in the quarters I wish him well apart from when he faces Rovers. For those of you not familiar with Rickies work check out this video.


Wochenende

So the girl has gone which I think is a curtain on the summer as I start University on Wednesday and she is back at Oxford on Saturday. We've had a tendency all summer for awesome weekends and this was no different. Cider, football, cricket, pub quizzes, strawberries, cream, too many sweets and the odd sprinkling of giddy play fights make for a good relationship.

Boris on Eastenders? Thank god I'm not paying this cunt's wages.

My girlfriend made this blog. My she's clever. Tonight we went to the pub and entered the pub quiz. We were 1 point off of winning, the team that won had 7 players to our two. We're not bitter just proud of our performance. She's a clever lass.
