Why is it that Loughborough fails to provide more than one wide format printer to the entire campus? The printer in town informed me this morning that it simply isn't viable, time-wise that is, to set one up and keep it running. He told me this as he proceeded to colour copy my A2 presentation boards onto two separate A3 sheets, so later I could fix them together onto the foam board.

Now I understand the difficulty in the time it does consume, but with 12,000 students clambering at the doors of Media Services to get all those big posters printed off, surely there must be some sniff of profit in there?

I picked up a considerable amount of squash from Somerfield this morning. Progress on the DP4 point of sale for the Ribena widget is good, even though Jim, Tim and myself, spent hours searching the hardware stores of outer Lufbra for some bendy wood last night, with limited-to-no success.

Jono is back and his nose looks straight enough to me (following the incident on Wednesday night), and things are pretty much back to their normal self. One thing I did remember which had totally slipped my mind since seeing Fiona, was that Uncle Stanley had a stroke a couple of weeks ago. This went totally unbeknownst to me until the night she organised that rather 'abrupt' party. I haven't really had a chance to pass on my good wishes, I just hope he recovers soon. Thankfully he still has speech, but some motor movement was affected. I'm unsure how severe it is, but strokes really worry me. Nanna (his sister), had a series of them when I was 12, and so they have always been an issue for me. I'm just so glad it wasn't a bad one.

I'm not sure how extensive my night out is going to be. I'm well and truly knackered - I nearly fell asleep in the shower this morning which could have proved interesting. I am still hoping to catch a nap later on today, but in the meanwhile I have a two-hour electronics lecture to attend to, which is nice.

I found some awesome screensavers yesterday. It didn't even enter my mind when I got my new graphics card that I could run very high quality savers, but these are truly mind muddling. Download them for free at Really Slick.

On the women front, things are hopeless at the moment. I'm sure Olivia and Lucy Pinder must have just misplaced my number or something. Girls, if you want it again, just drop me an email.
