WINchester

I spent last week in Winchester, staying with my friends Rich and Su, after a brief spell in Cambridge with Amir and Kirsty.

I have now recognised my various homestays as a veiled excuse for quality testing group-play video games. It all started in Nicaragua with Lee’s rum-fuelled Guitar Hero III, followed by real-ale and kebab-fuelled WiiTennis against Amir (I absolutely dominated him, BTW, no matter what he says), a cheeky bit of Samba di Amigo with Kirsty (at which she obliterated me), and finally a good few hours of Tangfastic fuelled Guitar Hero World Tour at Rich’s.

Now staying with parents in Bury where group play video games means shouting the answers at VCRed episodes of University Challenge.

I stopped in at my house in Southampton, which is being well looked-after by my tenant, to pick up mail and found I’m now eligible for my freebie Cambridge MA. That means it’s been 10 terms since I graduated – I’ve been out of university longer than I was in it! Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be around to attend the dinner and pick it up… whether that matters I don’t know, but I am definitely going to refer to myself as Mr. James Brady BA MA (Cantab) MBCS at all times from now on. Makes referring to oneself in the third person much more fun.
