Bike = Gone, Teifion = Not happy - Wednesday

I got in nice and early, in fact, I got in a good 10 minutes earlier than usual. Locked bike to bike rack. Went to lessons, came back 4 hours later. No bike. History has taught me that assuming the worst straight away (i.e. someone stole it) is not a good idea. I thought that maybe I had left it on the other side of Angelsea, I had turned up extra early to look for my water bottle that I'd managed to forget in a lecture theater, it was of course not still there. A short search revealed no bike, I went back, examined the scene a little more closely and found my lock snapped into two different bits (those are three difference pics of the lock, notice how thin and crappy it looks close up...). Well, it would once unlocked. I talked to security, talked to the police and did what I could. Ben saw me talking on the phone with a security person next to me and sussed out something wasn't good. He decided to walk back to my place with me (we had a 40 minute wait and we both walk fast) and stayed for lunch. I must say it was very nice of him to do that, he said that I can borrow his bike (which he doesn't use) assuming I get a new lock. Not only that, but Ben also taught me how to properly eat noodles, I assumed you left the water in. Wow they taste much nicer without it. I've got a picture of Ben and his laptop. He's just bought an iPod mini off EBay and it came with an apple sticker, he's put it on the back of his laptop, it looks pretty good. After Ben left I went to dinner, told Jack and a few others about it. During CU I got a few more bits of advice about posting up some messages about it on the Uni forums and also talking to some of the bike shops in Southsea (I know of only one, the map only shows one). After CU hallgroup myself and Sam put invites to the Carol service under the doors of all the people in the Tower. I got back to my room, finnished my work and decided to back up my laptop (I do it often anyway) and take off auto-login. I then restarted my computer. Now if that goes missing they can't use it as my password isn't exactly rubbish. Well, looks like I'll be riding the bus like a 'shmuck' tomorrow (it's what I called Gareth yesterday). I've figured that if the bike doesn't turn up and I manage to get a Job, I'll spend some student loan on a new one. Person of the Day - I'd love to stick Ben here, but I knew him already (incidentally he's Welsh) but the rules say it's gotta be someone I don't know. So I've got to introduce Marisa's friend Emily. She studies languages, lives in Dymond House and appears to have no clue as to how easily a bolt clipper will go through steel.
