Burns Night was ace. The boys did wear kilts, and they started the night wearing cycling shorts undeneath.
Then the whisky started flowing and we went to a pub that just randomly handed out deep fried haggises at midnight. Then we went to a posh bar that Prince William goes to when he is in town. It was quite expensive and the music was rubbish at times but it was nice and had comfy seats. It also encouraged Eamonn to remove his underwear and use it as a head-dress.
So we spent the rest of the night trying to lift up his kilt, but sadly we never did.
When we got back to halls, we dared him to flash the security cameras. He did. He then started pirouetting round the courtyard, much to my amusement and the disgust of the other boys.
Then we went up to the pantry, and ate some cheese and had a chat. Eamonn rounded off the night by mooning, so much so that all was revealed. It was highly entertaining if only for the fact we have been teasing him mercilessly ever since.
Yesterday night we went to Centro to meet Boris Johnson. He is standing for Rector of the university, and started trying to make a speech, but then some protesters were shouting too loud to hear anything. It just descended into chaos, with pints being thrown everywhere (mainly over the loudest protester's head) and people climbing onto the bar and the place was rammed.
Apparently Boris then did a tour of Edinburgh student highlights, including Crags and Opal Lounge. My friend met him at Crags, and asked him what the Rector actually did, to which Boris replied... "He rects"
Comedy genius.
