I think I am slowly losing my memory, I forgot my hat from a tutorial yesterday, forgot to charge my phone last night and then forgot my keys today. It isn't good.

I maybe should buy one of those books that middle aged men get telling you how to improve your memory.

I went to the QUBCU (for once) last night, was good craic met some cool people and had coffee after. I think I was talking about law too much though, I managed to recall the story of a case about a dude that picked up a "lady of the night" and brought her to a certain location whereupon he was unable to satisfy her, (this is were i got confused because surely if he was paying...never mind) but anyway, his inability to do the act made the lady of questionable morals laugh at him. At this the dude was rather enraged and promptly tried to beat her to death and chucked her into the back of a van and dumped her in a river where she drowned. When being tried for murder he tried to defend himself by arguing that because he intended to murder her when he was beating her, and she didnt die then but later on in the river when he no longer was intending to murder her; he could not possibly be guilty of murder. Thankfully the judge just slapped him and sent him to jail.

I hardly ever remember cases.

Was quite a random CU meeting though there was no real speaker or anything because it was all gearing up for an action week thing around the uni "campus".

An interesting comment today regarding the rather tiresome debate about the wearing of veils by teachers in schools (started rather stupidly by an assistant teacher who actually removes the veil when she's teaching and not in the presence of male adults...) but anyway, "...sure veils will be out of fashion soon." was the comment.
The silly woman also decided she was going to pursue the issue to the European Court of Human Rights after being advised not to. Anyways the margin of appreciation and all that proportionality stuff will probably close the issue and it will be a waste of her time.

Enough of that.

I had a meatball marinara (think that's how you spell it) today, messiest thing ever to eat. I've been unable to eat properly recently anyway without looking like I have the mental capacity of a 2 year old...

quite tired now after an early start for a 2 hour human rights lecture at 10am, with a lecturer that sounds like the dinosaur out of toy story.

have to go here and get ready to teach swimming.
