I was just sat on the train, and the woman next to me pulled out a piece of paper headed 'Coursework - Law - Module A' and on that sheet was a list of names, with percentages and grades written next to them.

She then pulled a second clean sheet of paper out, headed 'Coursework - Law - module B' with the same list of names. She then proceeded to fill in the percentages and grades on that sheet, with no points of reference other than the first sheet. Pretty much everyone got within 10% for Module B what they got for Module A, apart from poor Adebola who got 32% less than the very high Module A mark.

Is this what teaching has come to?

How did MaliA do?

They wanted Helo to think he was escaping and have an excuse for the cylon troopers not to get him - he was merely being coralled into the clutches of the Boomer model. Therefore they internally self-destruct on impact of rounds. That's how I read it anyway.

Hmm. Fine, but what about

later in series 2 on Kobol when they're killing the cylon troopers with assault rifles that the marines on BSG couldn't kill them with a few episodes earlier? My only guess was that the cylons who boarded BSG were of some extra tough variety.

Eh? I thought they were using explosives to kill them - they can be taken down with concentrated assault weapon fire can't they, but in this particular instance I don't remember any being killed by assault weapon fire alone (and I'm going through from the start with the girls, so only saw this last week) - I think the problem on Galactica was that there were few marines around because of the area they'd sealed off and were operating in, and the fact that there was close to fuck all ammo in the vicinity either.

In the first episode (I think. Near there anyway) Helo kills some cylons with his pistol. Other cylons get killed with regular weapons later on too. At the start of season two some stuff happens and it suddenly becomes that the cylon troopers can only be killed by special explosive rounds. For the length of that episode.

I was really upset to discover that the story about Chris Moyles being axed from Radio 1s breakfast slot was untrue.

I spent all day yesterday working from home because the Electricity Board wanted to fit a new meter. Nobody turned up.

I believe they are obliged to send you CASH in the POST if they don't turn up. Have a search and let me know if the person that told me that was lying.

Why is the Wicked Witch of the West (in the Orange adverts) trying to do her worst impression of Hugh Laurie's 'House' 'American' accent?? Does she not know 'Americans' don't say 'cinema' (or, in her 'accent', 'cinemaarrrrr')?

That's the biggest mistake brits make in fake US accents, the over pronounced 'r'. Especially 'carnt'.

The level of disappointment depends on the beer.

If it's Carling, f'instance, I don't give a shit.

Grim...'s fridge on a normal day:

Except there is normally beer where the Skittles vodka is.

Even this year, when I'm not drinking, there is still a bottle of Sambuca in the fridge (and one in the freezer) at all times.

Also: Death to people that pronounce it "zambuca".

When out in Widnes (!) on saturday night, our taxi was taking ages so my brother ordered a round of Zabooocars. As the serving wench tipped the bottle, the taxi appeared. 'DOWN' WITH THAT SORT OF THING. *hic*

How Email Filters Work to Your Advantage, #1 in a series of 1.

Ha! I just got a message bounced by a client's email system for inappropriate content. I scratched my head over that, as I was just forwarding some info a colleague had put together for me. I then realised the email trail had in it an email from me to said colleague saying "Can you do X and Y as an arse covering exercise". Thank goodness that didn't get through...
