For some reason, every time I have a few drinks I feel the urge to scale
things and sit on them. A couple of times this has won me bets & drinks and
stuff, but most of the time it's just a strange fascination. I even managed
to climb a telegraph pole back in Warrington over Christmas (no easy feat,
if anyone has ever tried). At UMIST though they have lots of nice monuments
which are just asking to be climbed. The only one that has defeated me so
far is the Vimto one. All the rest, I provide you with (drunken)
photographic evidence.
The Mill thing outside UMIST Student Association
Our good friend Archemedes
The big pointless magnet thing
The MSS Insulator things
The much prized loopy thing
Many thanks to Will Smith (I shit you not) for the photos.
