St Paul, frolicking with Federico

awaiting interview for University Challenge...

After the quiz (40 questions with 5 seconds to answer each) we opted for a walk along the Thames... over the Millenium Bridge, and up St Paul !
watch out for the guy behind you with red eyes!


dizzy heights...


long way down...

oh, shortly after the next image was taken we were scolded for taking a picture by the 'don't take photos' sign! oops!


ON TOP OF THE WORLD




on the way up we met Lauren, she was the 'naughty' one who took the photo of us standing in-front of the 'don't take a photo' sign!

enjoy the views... (of London!)

you might be working here from this Fall/Autumn



what goes up... must come down...





probably the most attractive Pret in London


choices, join this church... or the Scientologists?

MBA abridged

Since starting full time studies in September 2006, things have moved on through the core courses and into specialisation electives! but there are a few items to share from this period...

---

There have been many a late night working on syndicate group activities (see early morning picture of Royal Albert Memorial, taken when walking across Hyde Park after working on Marketing presentation with Andreas - it was early enough that the park had re-opened for a new day...)

---

The first term was filled by core course topics. I could bore you with some description, but it is water under bridge now - perhaps my coursework and exam marks will offer suitable indication of how I view each course. ;o)

Sadly none of my photos remain from period as at this time some computer demons decided to play with my laptop hard-disk - which became "a little unavailable" (ok, to be honest - I formatted the first 7Mb of the boot partition in error - oops). A rebuild later and we are back up and running...

It might be fun to share some images and videos from exam study... watch this space

MBA Christmas Dinner was funny event...

ok, so I arrived a touch late - sorry Matt!

For some reason Matt & Co thought that Miss N was with me... (the reality was that I had been helping some ladies a little earlier and hence was running a little late, but Miss N was elsewhere)

---

picture on right was taken as I ran from bottom of Regents Street to Covent Garden, as the bus had decided to stop moving forward! I arrived a touch after the starters had been served...

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year...
