In the Dungeon of Dr Clay

South of Heaven

My new computer came through the other day, two days after I bought it on line. It's spot on. It has a full keyboard, including the number 5 key, which my old computer didn't have after a fit of rage. It even has a web cam so I can take pictures like this:

The possibillities are endless

Besides that, I called over to Danny and Jaime's house on Sunday, after a nice cup of tea I drove us all over to the Hind, where we met Juliette and Barnsey. Barnsey was telling me about a loophole he'd discovered in the Hind's food service. The last time he was in he'd ordered a cheese and onion sandwich, only to discover that he was paying the extortionate price of £3.50 for two slices of bread with a bit of cheese and onion in between. Irked at this he bought himself a packet of cheese and onion crisps, then noticed that a breadcake was a positive bargin at 40p. He duly purchased two and they arrived with a tray of condiments and a message from the manager to 'Enjoy your meal!'. Stuffing the crisps into the breadcakes, hey presto! he had two cheese and onion sandwiches for about a third of the cost. I tell you this because we did the same trick again on Sunday and had a sumptious meal of crisps sandwiches for the princly sum of 80p (inlcuding crisps). Try it, let's stop Pubs ripping us off!!

Buy a Crisp Sandwich today! Any flavour you want (depending on the crisps available...)

The rest of the week was filled with a meeting with Chris and Tim about archaeological business and such, which was gatecrashed by Angela and Lauren. I had to sit through two tedious hours of Angela and Tim's stories of Syrian Tell excavations and Cyprian Stone Age axes. Good God, you would NEVER catch me going abroad to dig.

I'm off to York in a couple of hours. I'm filled with dread as I will be living with the Evil mastermind Dr John Clay. I have no idea what cruel and unusual torture he has in store for me, but I haven't heard a word from Craig since he 'called in' to Clay's house three weeks ago.

Fun Day at John Clay's
