Two amazing videos
I’m not normally big on YouTube, but I was recenlty sent a link which led me on to another one….both of which need sharing. Enjoy.
Firstly, the two pastors of the church I went to in Norwich are offically mental. They have made a “Starchy and Hutch” video. Watch out for the guest star – huggy jim!
And secondly, a very cool beatboxing flute player.
Year of the Pig – Chinese New Year
Apparently they are thinking about moving the Chinese New Year celebrations out of china town next year. The papers in London reported this as if it was sheer madness, which admittedly it does seem at first. However, have been one of the 1000’s of people squished into Leicester Square to watch the daytime fireworks, I have to say…..I agree!
The Wrens @ ULU

Last Saturday I went to see the Wrens with Mary and Craig. You can see my decidedly poor review (my writing, not their performance) here.
Radioactive Students
York University appear to have “lost” some radioactive material on campus.
“The University of York recently disposed of a RackBeta machine, which measures radioactivity in biological materials. As part of the disposal, a lead container, thought to hold a capsule …of Radium 226, was removed from the machine. The lead container was stored in a safe designed … in a locked and alarmed room until collected by a specialist disposal company on 13 February…When the specialist company opened the lead container on Friday 16 February, they found that it was empty.”
Now, in the interests of fairness and not being all “Daily Mail” it should be pointed out that the amount of radiation which you’d be exposed to (in the highly unlikely even that you managed to crush the stainless steel pencil-tip-sized container) would only be toxic if eaten or inhaled. In any other location you’d think that eating or snorting an unknown substance would be very unlucky and definitely accidental…..and then you remember it’s a university they are talking about….
GO YORK!
Got that Friday Feeling?
Normally I don’ do cute animal photos, they make me feel nauseous. However, this one just sums up that Friday feeling!
