Subway Challenge

[magnum]

Anybody familiar with the Glasgow Underground system may find this interesting. A student of my own fine institution races against a train.

We students of the University of Glasgow are an honest bunch and would not stoop to such levels. (You may have a point though)

I wish I still had time for such tom foolery but some lecturing boffins thought it would be fun to give me a monumental amount of work to do. Utter barstewards.

Of course, if I was doing a noncey arty farty course with one lecture a fortnight and a 2 word essay to be handed in next decade, I might still have the time.

(No real offence meant to arty farty students, just the noncey ones)

Speeding is the only capital offence in this country!

You're a disgrace. I take great umbrage! You don't do any work anyway!
