what a strage and confusing week:
- One of my students left a laptop open and his 10 year old brother decided to try the on-line plagiarism test set up on WEB CT. Younger brother duly achieved a higher score than 3 first year students doing my Res Seminar
- Meanwhile I feel an identity crisis coming on. Another student had problems distinguishing between me giving lectures on the industrial revolution and a blond lady called Tina giving what I am sure were excellent lectures on social theory. She went to the wrong venue for 3 weeks.
- DILEMMA: Should I turn up to this week's lecture in a frock and blond wig to lessen the student's embarrassment? Let's face it is an easy mistake to make
- But enough of this frivolity. I thought it was time to start taking this exercise more seriously and keen to avoid tabloid tittle tattle and trash I turn to the the Daily Telegraph, to get a true sense of the key issues of the day. It is nice to see one newspaper that still has values. Rather than wasting space on the US Presidential election or the World Finanical collapse it focuses in on the really important issue of the day:
"Man's testicles swelled up like footballs after vasectomy".
In the unlikely event you missed this key piece of world news you can find more at: - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/health/3274791/Mans-testicles-swelled-up-like-footballs-agter-vasectomy.html
Oh well, that is another lifestyle choice to put on the backburner

At last, I now know that we have uncovered the Grayson Perry of the history department (sorry, History and Cultures PAU), can't wait to see my esteemed colleague 'pottering' about in this delectable garb...
