An update on Everything!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, mainly due to a lack of internet connection but also because I’m damn lazy.

Things have been going well, as I my previous post says, I’ve gotten a job in Glasgow. I’ve now also moved into my new flat and have, finally*, got an internet connection again. (Photos to follow sometime in the near future)

Everything is going pretty well, the work is interesting and the people I’m working with are a good bunch**. For the first time in a long while I actually have money, the most of which is currently gone, and I’m getting back in touch with all the folks I know in Glasgow.

Anyway this is more of an I’m back post to say: “I’m Back!”.

The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society.

And the name of the pub quiz team that was entered into the Compsoc Pub Quiz 2005, that entailed a lot of obscene looking photos of men, some very evil questions on the part of Peter Dickman and some pretty nifty computer games (a lot more nifty than we had last year – we had a Heat round!).

It was a good night had by, dare I say, all. I’ve got a few photos which will appear in the Gallery soon.

C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S, what a team, apparently we won! I had to leave half way through the last round, I’m hoping we won best name as well.

Think you’re safe?

My flatmate alerted me to this article on the Strathclyde police website.

A man apparently robbed the Sainsburry Local (which is about 100m away from my flat) with a gun, just 3 days ago – this was the first I had heard of it.

Around 2055 hours Thursday 11 March 2005, a man entered the service station in Woodlands Road, Glasgow and threatened a member of staff with what appeared to be a firearm. He then made off on foot with a three-figure sum.

No firearm was discharged and no persons were injured.

The suspect is described as white, 6’0” in height, unshaven and wearing a green hooded waterproof jacket, blue jeans and a light coloured woollen beanie hat.

That however, is not the worst of the news:

Detective Constable Scott Bruce of Anderson CID said:

“This is the second time in a few weeks that these premises have been the subject of an armed robbery and we believe that both incidents are linked.”

So, someone robbed it once and didn’t get caught. Then they thought that it would be a good idea to rob it again.

Maybe the police will get him next time, third time lucky they say!
