First Blog

Well here it is, finally dragging myself into the last century and using an already outdated method of communication.

No idea what I'm going to put up here, but I'm sure it will be interesting, whether it's a rant about work, socialising or the impending lack of sleep I will get when the wife drops her first baby in about 10 weeks.

So far today I've visited Huntersdale for the 3rd time this week and will no doubt be heading there again before the week is out. Huntersdale is where they've moved most of the admin staff for the university, and I've got to look after them. It's a mile down the road, so a healthy stroll is what I avoid by taking the bus. It's the start of the new term next week, so will be working on Sunday, but hopefully get some golf in on Saturday and watch some of the Ryder Cup.

Quite a few of us are heading out to the Monkey's Forehead after work tomorrow for an ale or two, to celebrate the fact that James and Owen are both escaping Royal Holloway for two very different futures.

For those of you reading this who have no idea who I am, I might give you an insight into my life as we progress, but on the other hand I may get bored and this could be the last ever post.

I'm trying to be sporty, and I run the staff badminton club at RHUL. This may have to change if baby Allsup scuppers my sleep and I have to go home every Wednesday evening. As such, I'm off to badminton now. There's a lot more to be said, but only so much time in the day...
