Ironic really, as I don't actually have all that much time. :)
But a quick word to prove I'm still alive. Plenty on, including a series of "Problem Solving" workshops that I'm giving to the first year. Their task, with a carrier bag of string, bits of newspaper and card - and the mighty sellotape - is to drop an egg out of a second story window, using their stuff to see if they can stop it breaking. Ought to be a laugh.
Well, I hope it will be!

Sounds like it could be a laugh indeed - is there a definitive solution?
Nope, funny though - people keep asking me that and I never even considered that there would be. Todays attempts (I went along to see the grand two storey dropping!) didn't work, but they weren't bad. Now, where can I buy more string for the next groups? I mean, who buys string these days??
Lecturers?
And chefs!
Supermarkets sell string in the stationary section!
Chefs don't buy stationery
No but they use string to tie up joints of meat / bad employees.
You should cheat and hard boil one. Then wow the students with your amazing unbroken egg.

i spent two months trussing chickens with string in suffolk.
just thought id mention that.
Ah, but I'm not dropping the eggs myself. ;-) And was that your summer job, Kean? I rememebr you coming back to Sheffield with tales of your God-awful summer job. There were definately chickens involved. It was "chicken packing", wasn't it??
