Balls!

The Wolfson ball was held on Friday evening, with guest appearances by Megan, Mark and Sophie (all the way from Norfolk) and Julie and Mary (all the way from Dublin). Blurred memories, but highlights of the evening include:

- James telling a newly arrived visiting scholar, who was commenting on the dodgem cars: "Yes... fucking pikeys - once you let them in, you can't get rid of them". Visiting scholar looked shocked and made a prompt departure

- Sophie queueing time and time again for the simulator machine, believing that she would finally get something other than the virtual rollercoaster ride (which was, it transpired, the only film they were showing). What's the definition of insanity?

- Mark causing mayhem at the ceili.

- Mark staying up until 4 am and NOT PASSING OUT! There's a first time for everything, and we're all very proud of him.

- Fighting for our right to paaaaaarrtttyyyyyy. Long live the Beastie Boys. I've never danced to their music in a ball gown before, but I'd highly recommend it.

- Alas, a guest appearance or ten by Vomiting Veronica early the following morning. When, oh when, will I learn?
