I'm Bored

I'm bored too, I'm stuck in school and I'm having stupid maths!

Oh for heavens sake so you're all bored - I guess your presence at Metropol kind of compounds that fact.

As this problem seems to be reaching epidemic levels and nobody else is coming forward with any suggestion of a cure, you may find one or two ideas in my list below helpful.

- Volunteer to fold clothes that smell of wee at your local charity shop

- Do a jigsaw of a television transmitter

- Re-label your collection of BBC Regional News videos

- Dust your house from top to bottom with a sock on a clothes hanger and a banana skin

- Wash your hair (reserve this one for the times James Martin is on a student radio station somewhere)

- Play the Nick Harvey anagram game - just how many words can you make out of CARP ?

See, there really is no excuse.

Indeedy, it's the Palo Alto Research Center - part of Xerox, who exist to develop nice things.

Well I was thinking more of an alternative spelling of Park like in Centre Parcs resorts, or in Welsh.

I am going to see 'The Butterfly Effect' tonight.

This will briefly lift the weight of boredom from my shoulders.

Maybe we should start a Metropol book club or something, seen as we're all so bored. Or dare one member to do something and have them report back on their work.

Or truth or dare!

I like the idea of truth or dare. I think photos would have to be posted to prove that the dare has been done.

and why ever not Chris? Are you suggesting I'd dare you to do something dirty? tsk tsk.
