A Look Back at Uni

First of all, I’m well aware that the title doesn’t seem to reflect what’s happening in my present life and I did say I’d be on to the present with this post, well I didn’t count on someone making a topic request on a post. I feel like some kind of busker asking the audience what tracks that they like playing…

Anyway Mr. Protagonis and I were having a discussion about the good old days of uni after I briefly blogged about them in the last post. Anyway, basically I’m going to list a load of cool stuff that I remember from uni and some from the discussion, that not all of you that know me, may understand. So, sorry if you fall into that category. Feel free to add to the list with comments.

In no particular order:

  • Hot chocolate and a bacon & brie ciabatta and Café Baroque (we owe a lot to that place, or is it the other way around? Soon to be called the Meetingplace of Heroes when we’re all famous)
  • Dinner at the Cask
  • Chris’s finger clicking celebrations (which have rubbed off on me, I do it all the time and I think I saw Matt doing it a few times)
  • Pig rolls!
  • BF2 and BFV avec beer
  • Matt and his tendency to want to go to the pub all the time
  • Luke and I painting in the living room
  • Strange, dwarf like person at Space, Myth and Magic and his amusing way of saying “Black Templars”
  • Various cinema outings in York
  • Poor service in The Futurist
  • The grumpy finance woman at uni and her blatant moustache
  • Fish Friday :D
  • Geffy with his laptop surgically attached to his lap
  • Matt with his PDA surgically attached to his ear
  • Venus fly trap plants (whatever happened with them?)
  • ASK
  • Simon Hartley and his oh so worrying stories about the taste of certain bodily fluids
  • Queen concert
  • JFK Reloaded
  • Tanko watching our every move in the living room
  • Mr. Hartley asleep in the living room with his ass in the air
  • The now infamous night of Simon’s birthday ;)
  • Lord of the Rings marathon day
  • Matt’s monkey noises and the singing of “Just one cornetto…” waking me up
  • Jabba the Hut at university and his tendency to inadvertently wear his shirt like a teenage girl with a bare middrift
  • “Forking the child process” -Weihong, 2006
  • The Great Heffing Competition ‘05 between Tom and I (2 pizzas, 2 people, limited time. He only won because I kept needing a drink as it was hot :P )
  • Annoying seagull noises
  • A picture of Harold Bishop surrounded by Quality Street sweets, after a strange dream I had
  • Matt H
    Haha didn't know or had forgotten about that classic one. I was just reading about old times myself up in Scarborough :]
    Anyway what's happening in your present life...?
  • Brilliant and very funny updates people, thanks. I have a few more to add that are courtesy of Luke and our strange obsession with a few people on the permanently looped Dating Channel.

    "SAVOY cabbage"

    "Commando"

    "Topshop, student discount"

    and perhaps the mother of them all

    "Sprouts always make me fart...but don't show that, noone will want to contact me if they hear that!"

    also I'm glad I'm getting a taste of my own medicine with the quotes, with such memorable lines as “Oh Nooo!” and “Dont make me think!” but I simply cannot believe no-one has done my most memorable quote of all "There's a castle in Scarborough?" -James Oliver-Carton after a year of living in Scarborough.
  • "Oh Nooo!" - James
    "Ratatoui" - Simon
    £1.50 Pints in the bar next door because we went in and played pool every night
    Plans for a full size shed construction on the living room
    Self installed Sky dish (mounted on a chair)
    Wiring the house up
    Streaming Sky around the house
    Individual washing up sections
    Saturday night chinese/curry and film.
    Tekken
    Chocolate cheese cake arguments
    Fishing expeditions (mostly failed)
    Warhammer
    "Dont make me think!" - James
    Quote of the week
  • Matt H
    Simon Hartley cracking everyone up in that restaurant. I'm pretty sure you have written the quote somewhere.
  • limiting myself to harcourt recollections here:

    ackbar factoids

    Tom who lives at the top of the stairs and has flowers in his window.
    constantly rasterbating matt
    geffy lap attached ibook and ear attached ipod
    loosing countless evenings to sky one
    star wars battlefronting it up
    cleaning the kitchen
    the amusing ventilation fan that went from the put into our living room
    upside down boiler
    locked gimp cupboards
    walking around in a quilt cos it was so cold
    spending hours huddled over the heater
