"I'm not asking you to go to the toilet with me.."

An innocent attempt at relieving himself during our written exam left one of my college mates baffled by the invigilator's stern refusal. From the look on her face at his (above-quoted) response I think its safe to say she was more then a little nonplussed herself. By that point we had all had a good look at the exam and shared the same facial expressions that one might associate with mild hysteria. Having now completed the assessment though the placebos have started taking effect..
I have been known to rant a little on this page. I am of course now a little older and a little wiser. That said I am not amused that Easter does not fall within the boundaries of 'Half-term break'. I'm damn sure that Julius Ceasar never had this problem.

No, the Roman Senate knew what side its bread was buttered on. Give Julius his proper holidays and let him attack such tribes as the indominatible Gauls. I too face an undefeatable opponent. So undefeatable that I seem to have forgotten quite who or what he is. Such is the extent of his power. (or hers. never one to be sexist). Still! erm where was I? Yes, I conclude this mesocycle's entry with the declaration that all official holidays recognized by 'Simon Says' as such should be deemed recognizeable as such by such governing bodies at such time egad, et. al etc..
