The Civil Engineering students are digging a tunnel, the Aeronautical Engineering students are building a glider and the PE students have set up a vaulting horse in the quad.
The American Studies students will claim all of the credit.
Central London was rammed. By far the busiest I've seen it for many months. And it wasn't just Soho - Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Mayfair. Etc. Streets properly thronged at 9pm. Like an average cool Autumn evening last year, as if corona did not exist.
Of course everyone had to pile home at 10pm - or go drink supermarket wine on streetcorners - but I felt a tinge of positivity. Maybe life will out.
Good work from the the team (person?) that supports this - no doubt on a shoestring.
I thought the American would be setting up a still?

We want people staying at home, not out boozing and spreading the virus around.
HMG have made a big misstep with this policy

I expect there to be a huge overreaction to this. I just hope the Democrats learn the right lessons from it and don't fall into a trap of confirmation bias.
If they're like the Bourbons - having learnt nothing and forgotten nothing - someone very much like Trump, or worse, will be back in the near future.
They’ll be contemplating why humans have an irresistible urge to escape when feeling trapped.
The business students of course will be working out how to charge consultancy fees.
The geography students will be drawing maps so everyone can get completely lost while tunnelling.
And the History students, being smarter, never turned up at all so are sat at home wondering what the f*** all the fuss is about.
Could you name three?
Canada? Probably the most politically correct place I've ever been.
Australia? Full of Aussies. Not much culture and too far. Plus it's on fire.
New Zealand? No-one lives there. Too far. Boring. No eye candy. Sheep.
USA? Two warring sides. Extreme culture wars. Possible civil conflict one day. Guns. Serious social problems.
So, whenever I think about this, I'm back to the UK in 5 minutes.
At the end of the day this is my home. Whenever I'm gone I miss it terribly and love getting back here.
Disclaimer: I was saying this about Sherrod Brown for the Dems in 2016
Problem is: it's also hideously expensive. If you're on a Swiss wage fair enough, if you're not you need to be a multi-millionaire to have a nice life
In terms of freedom, I can only think of things that have improved on the free society front (e.g. gay marriage).
I think he said somewhere 'sunny' as well as cheap
Now for serious crimes / misbehaving by those in positions of power that seems ok, but we all see clips of people being a bit of a dick, minor indiscretions or accusing somebody of doing things with no proof.
And then the social media mob become judge, jury and executioner.
2. Increasing our contribution to the WHO, and
3... er, struggling now.
Still credit where it's due with the first two. Shame about the dozens of mistakes though.
You don't think you might be being a little bit paranoid do you?
I've got my own bucket list - go to a whole bunch of movies, as well as visit the National Gallery. Boring as anything but there it is.
So the local hedge funding owning guy hired some rent-a-cops to patrol the village. The police then devoted considerable time and effort to harassing the rent-a-cops, claiming that they were pretending to be real policemen.
Apparently, the police finally showed up at hedge fund guys house and stated that the rent-a-cop thing was not on, and they would not stop detaining them etc. So his plan wasn't going to work and he might as well stop.... His response was "Got you down the village, hasn't it?".....
At least I get to call them dickheads.
Oh, and making Dacre head of OFCOM.

You know me by now, work it out
Also on how many fines handed out.
And countless other reports.
Next you'll be telling David "Axis of Evil" Frum is worried that Trump may destabilise international relationships.

Though isn't speaking from a train on a political tour the very definition of a whistle-stop tour?
Once everyone gets used to it we won't be able to turn back the clock.
A curfew is when you aren't allowed out. Usually enforced by armed patrols.
The Gestapo thing was just the same thing pushed into the political arena.
This is why the police know who did what crime, 99% of the time. Someone told them.
I learnt this by talking to police in various countries.
Trump has had one lead in the last 8 polls. The Dem momentum in the early.voting is maintained.
It should be a straight 50/50 at worst for Biden but you can get him @2.2 which seems a great price to me.

But it winds the police up....
Anthony Scaramucci is the latest to start calling the last rites for the Trump campaign. The hurried Supreme Court nomination screams out that the administration knows its days are numbered. And here in PB Land, Hyufd is suddenly conspicuous by his absence.
It's over.
My friend was trapped in Cyprus. They had to send a text to the Police to leave the house, with a reason, once a day. And wait up to an hour for permission. And be given a set route and time.
That was a lockdown.
