Woah.
http://news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=150362005
I half toyed with the idea of posting this then leaving, but that would have been shit on many levels. Didnt know the guy but he was in my lectures, and one of my flatmates tutorials. I was out that night too. I cant remember how many students have died here since i came to university.
How are you all anyway. Im terrible and mentally unstable. On the plus side the third series of the shield is out soon.

Re: Woah.
The only death I remember when I was in Stirling was one of the groundsmen drowning in the loch on campus after a low speed lawnmower chase. I kid you not.

Re: Woah.
Not much to tell. Drunk student steals lawnmower (one of the ones you sit on and drive around). Groundsman pursues in another lawnmower (he'd have been quicker walking but what the hey). Groundsman loses control, drives into loch. I'm sure he drowned, poor bugger.

Re: Woah.
The groundsman who drives the things for a living lost control and drove into a lake but the drunken student came out okay?
What the hell?

Re: Woah.
To be fair the groundsman was well past retiring age and I think he spent most of his time raking leaves, leaving the high tech world of the lawnmower to the other younger groundsmen.

Re: Woah.

That's what happens when people believe that they can copy James Bond.

Re: Woah.
What do you hope to achieve chasing on a lawnmower? Lift up the front cutter and cut his tires to make him stop?

Catch Blofeld, obviously. You have to smash through some market stalls run by natives, naturally, but that's all part of the fun. (Who cares if their livelihoods are destroyed? **** 'em.)

Re: Woah.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Marilyn Manson again.
Awwwww...
Well I must divulge my own lawnmower story, but I'll keep it short. My two younger brothers got arrested for riding our lawnmower around the village late at night. They were released without charge, but the police muttered about it not being a road legal viechle (I can't spell it :/), and missing a tax disk. The lack of insurance and driving licences were not mentioned.
