The Weihnachtsmarkt invades the UK

About a week ago, the RHUL German Society went to a ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’ in Kingswood.

We quickly realized that this was a joke. It had nothing to do with a real German Christmas Market. It only consisted of a few huts, and it was difficult to find german stuff.

However, apparantly there are some Christmas Markets in the UK that are closer to a real German Christmas Market. This aired yesterday in the German News, so I had to put this in. I’m sorry that this is a German Video, but I just can’t be arsed to write subtitles.

UK DVB-T Status

about 3 months ago - No comments

I had some spare time today, so I spent it by re-configuring my EyeTV. If you don’t know what EyeTV is, it’s probably the best DVB-T client in the world!
So, after having realized, that you need a huge antenna here in the UK to actually get some signal, I set that back up. Now, turns [...]

UK Broadband service

So, I’ve been in the UK for nearly a year now, and I thought I would share my thoughts on UK broadband.
Why now? Well, I was listening to Spotify, and heard a Virgin Media Broadband ad. Then Alex bugged me yesterday trying to explain why Virgin Media is crap, etc. etc.
So, as it stands, there [...]

A St. Patricks Day Story

So, yesterday evening we celebrated St. Patricks Day (somewhat in advance) here at Royal Holloway. That meant that we had big 250 years Guiness hats, and a lot of Guiness on tap.
Living in the UK, the thing I have noticed is, that parties / nightclubs close at the time where all the rest of the [...]

Booty Luv live at Royal Holloway’s SU

about 1 year ago - No comments

Last Wednesday was an SU night unlike the others. It started off with 1h30m waiting in line for tickets in front of the SU in the freezing cold. The queue wasn’t as long as it was for the Malibu night, which was surprising as the SU announced to have a live performance by Booty Luv. [...]

So in [...]
