Having Your Own Wiki Page

Wikipedia. An online encyclopeadia, mostly used by desperate students trying to find information to fill up the word count on a particularly difficult assignment or, in my own experience, used to try and find out about the history of french mime artist Marcel Marceau, even if Wikipedia said he was convicted for drug trafficking offences in 2009, (despite being dead).

No, this evening, boredom had reached a whole new level. Luckily for myself, someone else was experiencing much the same problem, so we decided, with my nouse for writing creatively, (sort of..), and his magical ways of working out code on a computer, we decided to make a Wikipedia page all about, me! Yep, Ridgway's idea entirely, inside an hour and a half, we managed to create a highly detailed synopsis of my, mostly, sporting life with a few drunk stories chucked in for good measure, simply to give us something to do. By 1:30am, we had completed our piece of art, and as Ridgway hurried off to sleep after realising the time, I stayed behind and marvelled in our magnificence. I like the final result, and although it will probably be deleted by Wikipedia for not having enough references, it's certainly a piece of work we can be proud of! Ask me for the link!

Otherwise, today has been, as you could probably work out, largely uneventful. I really didn't feel too good earlier, I was going through a very bad patch, but a couple of people cheered me up and a bit of compelling 2010 Ashes viewing, (despite buying the DVD twice...), did enough to get me back to normal. Last night saw my usual pre-season cricket net with Southill that was largely successful. The anticipation surrounding the new season is almost unbearable, with the first friendlies starting in just over a month's time. I almost want the football season to end now, so I can concentrate on cricket.

However, football has not ended and I will vow to concentrate until it does. I got the result of my assessment back, despite not getting a result at all, (I never find out!), and look forward to another weekend full of sport. On Tuesday night, I went to watch the Beds Senior Cup semi-final with Rayment. A largely uneventful game, and a long round trip, but it cured the boredom and I was very surprised to be greeted with a post-game test on what I had learnt by Rayment! It was too late to give a proper answer!

However, given it is the, "working week", I'm afraid there is very little to update you on. Posts are now not wholly frequent and interesting, but just wait till the Summer and then September...
