Christmas (Issue #5)
Happy Christmas on and all! O.K. there is no news this week so it's straight onto the video. Oh and just to let you know that I shall be taking a break from blogging for a couple of weeks but I shall be back after the Christmas period with more new ideas for the blog and ways to waste your day - hopefull in the most entertaining way possible!
The Video!
This video, The Dark Knight Before Christmas, is from superhero spoofer extraodinaire, Random Guy! However, this is not a spoof but is a heartfelt ode to both Batman and Christmas and is a delight to watch. Enjoy!

Cool Stuff 8)!
This thread is basically being mothballed because there are simply not enough cool things in the world that people don't already know about. On occassion it will be revived but basically there needs to be some new threads methinks as this one is lacking inspiration.
My Reading!
I've been reading Xenophon lately.
Hmm, fun, I hear you cry sarcastically. But really it is worth a read if you love Ancient Greece because in this edition are two of the most important literary sources on Athenian Society, The Dinner Party and The Estate Manager. Both these source shine a real light on the conventions of the time and I look forwards to reading them. On the other hand, I have to confess that it is not the most electrifying writing in the world and I am a little bored sometimes. Certainly I have decided to move on from The Memoirs of Socrates and am focussing on the more interesting and more entertaining parts I mentioned above!
