Alex Harries's diary

Woohoo - my new sub arrived. Bugger - it's been dropped in transit and totally ruined. How many stamps does a 30KG package need to get to Germany? >-( 

In the absense of any time to write more than a couple of sentences, and still not having got my dead hard drive resurrected, here's some pics taking roughly in the last week for you to look at. Or not... ;o)

Ties and scarves at the Copy Shop

Ooh, new clothing!

Ben and Laura in eco-friendly transport endorsement

Ben and Laura went out delivering newspapers. Thankyou both of you :o)

The Portsmouth Uni wall of debt

Students + student loans + interest = big debt. Last week saw a debate and campaigns on the issue.

Fruit & veg market comes to the Union

The Thinkfresh market arrives at the Union, and should be back next Wednesday, too. Awesome :o)

Fairtrade freebies

A very nice chap set up a stall at the Union giving away samples of Fairtrade fruit 'n nut bars and muffins. Yum :o)

Ooh, new toys!

... and it was broken before it even made it out of the box. Back to Germany then... :o(

Pretty...

... sunset. Apparently, there's a whole world out there. I'm doubtful... 

Random photos from a random Giant Jenga game in the UPSU Sabb office. Well, it was half 9 in the evening, and we were still at work...

9.30pm and still in the office? It must be Giant Jenga time...

Working a typically late Tuesday night. Suddenly, the Pure FM and Pugwash bods in the office discover Sarah B's Giant Jenga and it all gets a bit messy... ;o)

By the way, we don't normally have big kids' games in work - it's just that tomorrow's the Re-Freshers' Fayre, so there's a lot going on at the moment... :o)

Concentration...

Clearly, Ben can't handle the pressure and leaves as Gina goes for a tough shot with the Giant Jenga. It's ok though - her tactics paid off...

Caroline pops in to show off Gamel's latest creation

Gamel Oki, Pugwash mag designer and editor extraordinaire, made this with his eyes shut... Ok, he didn't have his eyes closed, but who cares - very eye-catching design based on the design of the Pugwash mag reviews pages.

If you're online or near the Union on the 21st/22nd Feb, tune in to Pure FM to hear their 24 hour eBay-tastic broadcast!

Now you've done it...

... and then Maz goes and makes a mess of it all. Maaaaaaaaaaz!!! ;o)
