Coins
 

I can’t really be bothered to post on the May Day celebrations that took place in Oxford today. Needless to say, having been up since 4.40am, visiting (and walking to) the Law Bod, a 2hr rowing session and putting up with OJ (in a good way), I am rather knackered. It was an enjoyable early morning though – the rain held off, the atmosphere on Magdalen Bridge was very ‘Oxfordy’, the choir was very pleasant, champagne breakfasts are certainly the way forward and clothes shopping with Anthony is very amusing.

Moving swiftly on… What I really wanted to comment on is the fact that the Law Bod Photocopying Card Machine is racist. Let me clarify. I needed to do about 100 sheets of photocopying, so was planning to put about £8 onto my photocopying card. I had an array of pound coins with me and began feeding them into the machine. I always look at the pictures on the front of the coins – for some reason it amuses me. Anyway, I had put a few coins in and then it kept rejecting one. I tried a few times, wet the coin, forcefully fed the coin etc., but still it was rejected. I then carried on with a different coin and all was well. My last coin was then also rejected. I used another one and my £8 was complete – plus, I had £2 left. I had put into the machine 2 ‘British lion’ coins; 3 ‘Queens crests’ coins; 1 ‘Mulberry bush’; 1 ‘thistle’ and 1 ‘3 lion’ coins. I was left with 2 coins with the ‘leek’ on them. Thus, my deduction from this is that the machine is racist – it is anti-Welsh! Hehehe!

Oh, and yay to Man City!
