This is thirty minutes I want back.

I once read a psychological study in which people had to identify their own body image using an adjustable, pictoral scale. It turned out that women generally think they are fatter and uglier than they actually are, whereas men think they are slimmer and more muscular.

That doesn't really bear any relation to this example of how I spend my time when my uni is on strike and I am supposed to be reading Charlie Dickens.

Picture One (left) is, monkey not withstanding, how classy I imagine I am. Picture Two (right) is, I think, a more accurate portrayal of the usual level of scruffiness. For the record, Picture Two is me dressed as a boy.



(I don't know how the monkey got in there.)

Eric, meet Jon.

Eric likes beards and epic hikes across the width of the country.

Jon likes chocolate and dangerous modes of transport.

I predict you will fall in love and get married (Howies will design the wedding dresses).

You can thank me at the reception.
