Just
Last night we went to 'I can't believe it's not cheese' in the union. After dancing like lunatics to the first half of Just by Radiohead half the people lied down on the dirty dancefloor paying respect to the video. It was a golden moment.

North Yorkshire Moors
On Saturday I joined the hill walking club for the second time. The coach took us south to the North Yorkshire moors, dropping us off near to Rosebury Topping. After climbing the odd shaped topping hill we walked to Captain Cook's monument. On our way we met lots of frozen puddles that we could skate on and smash, and were lucky enough to have clear blue skies all day long. In total we walked 20km, the coach was the most welcome sight for my aching limbs.

Remembrance Day
All the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.Kurt Vonnegut
