…exams were hard. We couldn’t take five A-levels, let alone get A grades in all of them.
Pfah. Dumbing down, I say.
Ah well… I guess my brother will never know the joys of University College, Durham (his insurance place).
And, much as I hate to say it, I’m seriously proud. And I know he’ll have great time at Balliol. Well done, JJ.

I can’t help but notice that I’ve not blogged about what I’ve been up to the past three or so weeks, so I hereby give you warning of a mega-bumper post (or several shorter posts) coming very soon, featuring some or all of the following:
Potter night – with thousands of crazy Canadians, at least three of whom were Little Britain fans. Gah, I can’t escape him.
Washington D.C., featuring guest appearances by Segways and iPhones.
The Bourne Ultimatum – in the running for Dafyd’s Film of the Year. Definitely the best of the three-quels we’ve had this summer.
The Simpsons Movie – 80 minutes of pure fun. Excellent.
The FrancoFolies in Montreal – the third mega-huge festival the city’s had since I’ve been in Québec.
And much, much more (well, not really). There may, possibly, be a special appearance by a cuddly little beaver I found hiding at the side of the road, if I can get my phone to work to retrieve the photos…
A reminder, too: it’s my 21st birthday on Thursday. This Thursday. That is all.
