Odd Phone Call

I just got an odd call on my mobile from a blocked number:

Prat: Hello is that Tom?
Me: Yeah speaking.
Prat: Hi, I work for Kingsnorth power station. I was going to offer you a job, but I thought you might go crazy and throw the coal out. You’re a c•••. Bye.

Now I think I recognised the voice (someone in the lefty-green-activist ‘community’ in Manchester, though I’ll keep the name to myself), but it just seems such an odd drunken prank call to receive. Oh well, I’ve had worse written about me.

A Hectic Last Fortnight

This last fortnight of term is proving to be particularly hectic (so if I’ve forgotten to do something I said I’d do, sorry I’ll catch up next week). I have to complete the first draft of a chapter for my dissertation by Monday, finish an essay on the Spanish Civil War, and get the bare bones of one on the EU’s Energy and Climate Package sorted out.

On top of all that, I’ve had an annoying cold recently, so I ended up missing a few classes this week. :-( . Anyway, I’m having a film, pizza and parlour games night with some friends at my flat tonight, so I’m going to try to forget about everything else for a few hours.
