Hells Hall: continued
Aahhh Wells Hall....how do I love thee?(NOT) Let me count the ways...
It's more than a week now and I think I'm almost beginning to like this bloody hall. It's got its flaws- and a 400 page report wouldnt even cover half of them-but stoicism has rapidly given way to...erm, thingy. Aside obviously from the fact that my eating habits have gone rapidly downhill-mama would be horrified. Cereal, bread and spaghetti is basically it. God forbid if things carry on like this I might even become skinny!! Whatever next? And I've also drank at least 200 cups of tea because everytime there is a gap in my day(fairly often), I find myself standing infront of the kettle and brewing myself tea or coffee. Also the kitchen has become a kind of discussion chamber where you wander in and out of all sorts of strange conversations-most of which end with me being informed that I'm 'full of shit'. You couldn't give me a higher compliment.
Revision aside, Im reading 'Do androids dream of electric sheep?' (I think the answer is no) by Philip.K.Dick and wandering around the halls late at night trying to find inner peace. I wonder: Does inner peace ever look for inner peace? Am I just thinking this or actually typing it out? Oh!
'Only from Africa' story of the week- The Mauritania cabinet has given themselves a 600 percent payrise. The reason? To fight corruption! African politics rarely even gives you the opportunity to add a punchline. It's there already.
And a big thank you to Raymond for that so-good-it's-illegal link with all the 'Calvin and Hobbes' comics. You know you just moved several places up in my will don't you?

Thank you man,I want exclusive rights to 'Falling angels' and the Bill Bryson collection!It's been a longtime where the heck have you been ,I was beginning to think the cockroaches in Hells hall had won all the orange juice glasses(taken from "Falling Angels")and you were left to licking sugar off your palm,well good to see you are back man.
Great post, your writing is so entertaining!!! That is so true about African politics but this title is on another level lol.Oh n by the way,"you're full of shit" i'm expecting your note of appreciation anytime now.
Yeah, African politics is always pretty amazing. Just when I think that the Euro-Americans have the corner on insane politics I read whats going on in Africa. Speaking of which, the Cote D'Ivoire is still split by north/south.
