You know you're drunk when:

1. You walk a large proportion of the trip home with your eyes shut
2. You get your assed squeezed by your female friend's brother
3. You went to Lidl to buy cheap wine
4. You're on Boards after a night out
5. You texted yoour girlfriend goodnight 4-5 hours ago
6. You feel like your breathing is a soundtrack to a BBC archaeology documentary
7. You already can't remember most of tonight
8. You didn't even bother opening your unread PMs
9. You haven't shut the door to your apartment
10. You've just spent the night in Coppers

Just to remind you, Ibid: you dropped one of our friends onto the tarmac when you were carrying her: you need to be apologetic today.

It was far more of a tackle and using two colons in a sentence is punishable by death. Don't ever do that again .

Tackle or fall, colons or not, the point still remains.

Here are two colons::

One of the best bands of my adolescence are back . It's a **** video from about 48 seconds onwards, but I love the start of that song.

I'm glad I don't have a laptop in my room.

I think you'll find that if you really drank as much as you seem to have (and especially if there was any guinness involved), you'd be very happy to have a spare colon around.

I was at the Orchestral Society concert in Christ Church: it was fairly good. I went for some drinks in Doyle's with a couple of friends afterwards: that was much fun. I came home then. I've just had some very nice crisps. I think I'll stay up for another while.

Exam over and it went well!
Only six days of lectures left before the wonderful, wonderful break. Home to mom and cinnamon rolls....ahhh......can't wait. The man who marries me will have cinnamon rolls all the time. It's the best treat ever.

Happy Birthday

You know you're becoming too much of an economics nerd when you invent 'humourous' econometrics models to make fun of someone. It's depressing in one way, but quite amusing in another, so I'm choosing to take the positive side on this one.

Oh, and happy birthday again, hils. Present will be presented (see what I did there?) at the inevitable part-ay.

How about sharing it? Then we can decide whether it's actually humorous or not

I was all of a very old 20 on Wednesday. Yay for skipping 4th year.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Eh, the model is too debater-centric to be funny to normal economists (and I've already come to terms with being a debater nerd). Instead, I offer this joke from today's lecture with Andrew Somerville, to help us understand efficient markets hypothesis:

Two economists are walking across Front Square. One of them says "Look! There's €20 lying on the ground there!". The other replies "That's impossible. If there were €20 on the ground, someone would have picked it up already."

I think the fact that I found this kinda hilarious when no one else did demonstrates that I am, in fact, a lost cause.

Long live Dr. Somerville .

I presume they then proceeded to the Buttery Bar for a pint of stout.

I don't think I have one.

Not only that, but Christmas candles, Christmas lights and a Santa in a chimney. We also have shiny baubles.

EDIT: Necessary to make my post more acceptable to my flatmate.
