Whilst digging around on my web server, I came across some material from my original website that I created waaay back in 2005. I wasn’t unable to find the original (and hilarious) index page but I did find some other stuff. Enjoy…
Team Bournemouth
Prior to making the long road to University and making the all-important decision as for which one to go to, we’ve all had the same concerns and have asked the same important questions.. What is the girl/boy ratio, and how much is the price of a pint? right? no? ok.
How about, “How am I going to make friends?” (*cocks head to one side, tongue in cheek* ‘he’s ma fwriend, daarrr’)
Without a doubt, having good friends at University will make your journey through higher education a more enjoyable and pleasant experience. Not only will they keep you sane (with the exception of some who have the opposite effect) whilst dealing with an insane workload, they are also quite funny to laugh at, especially if they’ve had one too many beers.
Anyway, the Greater Armpit of Fate +1 has drawn together a bunch of scruffy individuals, who have but one aim: To graduate and get the f*ck out of Bournemouth. United, there is NO algorithm too TOUGH or software too complex to design.
So who are the members of this unstoppable, exciting, dynamic, good-looking, multi-talented, well-endowed, computer-loving, team? Read on..

Ahhh, good times.
