Heard of this song at a church week-end on Saturday at a camp fire.

Is there a video of it anywhere?

I must admit, I have not used a library very much at all since I finished my degree. But they do strike me as interesting places, especially public libraries. They feel as if you might discover something amazing if you just hang around long enough.

I don't know if blogging twice in about three months counts as still blogging, but I w more…

Genius! Good to see someone is still blogging. Libraries are sometimes great and sometimes not so. At the moment I spend most of my time in one and so I don't like them. I'll love them again come June (when I finish my exams). What do you think Jon? more…

haha, years ago, possibly on a beach mission, a group of friends sang through our own version of this spontaneously making up verses. It had a great verse about going up a key, another about singing slow and mournfully, and I *think* finished with, 'Now let's just all dance around and say, "Yeehaa!"', but by that stage we were so much in tears of more…

Thanks Anna, maybe I should start a cheeky facebook group in favour of the much neglected washing up bowl.
I think cold water is generally unsafe! Plus rinsing with hot water has the added benefit of drying your dishes much faster, since it appears to evaporate quickly leaving your dishes almost bone-dry after a few seconds. They therefore wo more…

Interesting debate! I agree with Mark, and cannot emphasize enough the importance of rinsing dishes after initial scrub in the bowl. The thing I'm confused about it whether rinsing in hot water is a waste of energy... Does cold water do the trick?

I may have to disagree with Mr Washy Wash and whoever wrote the article in the times 6 years ago. You see, their problem is that they aren't using the washing up bowl properly.
Since it holds less water, it means you change the water more regularly, thus making the whole process more hygenic, without using an excessive volume of water. It als more…

I went punting once... albeit in Oxford, not Cambridge but it was good fun. Althought we got attacked by a mommy moorhen cos I accidently steered the punt into the tree with her nest in.

This is some frustrating business. I just wrote a long message which failed to send and then went and vanished into thin air (obviously nothing vanishes into thick air), so I have to write it all out again. Ah well, it's not as if I should be revising. Anyway, I have some ideas for your free time. Get a decent book and get reading or (even better) more…
