Rectorial Elections

9:18 am on the 15th of December, 2004

The official election for the post of Rector for the University will take place today, I urge every student at Glasgow Uni to make that oh-so-long walk to the nearest polling booth to vote and make sure we get a rector this time around, having been with a student voice on the senate for about a year. You can see the candidate list here.

What is the better name?

The Rocks or the Craig En Gelt?

The hotel which has possibly the best view of any property in Dunbar has changed hands and opened up as a restaurant a few days ago, and while I’m sure it’s much nicer now and serves far better food than before, is there still a pub? And why did they have to change the name? Anyway I can’t wait to go sometime when I get free of Glasgow for a wee while on Friday for Christmas.

Update: And now I work for them!, even design their website

A slightly sad story

3:31 pm on the 1st of December, 2004

A few weeks ago, I was walking along Gibson street with someone on my course and we saw a cat run across the road in front of a car or van or something. It made it across just and then carried on running and dived throught the ironwork of the Bridge over th Kelvin, so we went and had a look to see if it had fallen in, there’s a little ledge on the other side which had a few pawprints on it and then nothing. No sign of it either end of the bridge, nothing obvious down below in the river, we jut supposed it had bounded a little further along the ledge and got away safely.

The other morning though I saw a sign on a lampost asking after a missing cat.
