<br />
Bastard. Now I have a deathly craving for Werthers, but no desire to head out to the shops through the fog...<br />
<br />
As for uni challenge, well Parvizi &amp; Allen are two of my closest friends, so I knew what to expect. Still, a bunch of freshers held their own against the team of old men pretty well I think!<br />

<br />
Jenny - would/should i remember you? i left in 2005 and my withered and haggard old brain has temporarily clogged my memory with thoughts of werthers originals and columbo (or whatever it is that old people think of these days). <br />
<br />
any chance of a picture? not in a pervy way - just because i'm concerned that i only left 15 months ago and i'm forgetting far too much! <br />
<br />
saw pembroke on university challenge yesterday. didn't exactly go well but hey! <br />

Ryan you make me sound so brutish! nice in an ego-tickling way, but a bit concerning in a german way! those of you who are seasoned CUPC banter-veterans will understand. <br />
<br />
just been perusing your message boards and am pleased that the banter is alive and well. keep up the good work and... <br />
<br />
<span style="color:red"><b>A MERRY CHRISTMAS</b></span> to you all. <br />
<br />
try not to work too hard and remember to keep practicing the pool or rob will be taking money off you in january...<br />

I've been shown/told of many ways to get free games, hence money stash always being empty. Last one I had demonstrated involved lifting the top off the table &amp; reaching inside to flick the catch to release the balls - you need long &amp; fairly slim arms though...<br />

I'm graham, another member of the victorious varsity team last year. Some of you may associate me with the word 'um-bongo'. Some of you may not, in which case this is probably best left unexplained.

Yeah, but it survived that, hardy Pembroke-ware as it is. What it didn't survive so well is the multiple and varied break-in attempts on its 20p-stash (almost always empty anyway), and then the summer school students didn't help, using it as a general beverage holder/seat/beer-pong table. Bloody foreigners.<br />
