Tail suit

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

After dancing practice last night I became the proud temporary owner of a somewhat dodgy dark navy tail suit. I was not fat enough for any of the nice black ones but I am first on the list when they go and buy more.

Will be dancing B-Team Jive this weekend which is a massive honour but massively scary. I am supposed to be on the ballroom team and we are not very good at jive in our opinion. Also only the best unis will be at the competition: Oxford, Cambride, Imperial, Warwick

Apparently I have now got to go and get my hair cut  =(

Title

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Due to popular request (ok due to several requests) I will have to explain this blog’s title and the pictures above.

The title is taken from track seven of Dark Side of the Moon which is entirely instrumental, and hence offers no explanation for its title either. But mine is supposed to be a combination of that and the famous Henry Ford quote ‘you can have it in any colour you like, as long as it is black’.

Top right is the University of Bristol Wills Memorial Building. It is often said to be the world’s most modern gothic masterpiece, having been started in 1912 and finished in 1925. The architect Sir George Oatley was knighted for his effort.

Top left is a combination of the sheaf of five arrows from the Cameron Clan coat of arms and some random squiggles. The arrows would usually be surrounded by a belt and underlined by a wreath. Around this belt would be the Cameron motto, which i Gallic is ‘Aonaibh ri Chéille’ which is a very long winded way to say ‘Unite’.
