So I had a bit of time at the end of my working day and thought I'd peruse Chubb's intranet. Pretty dull, especially the incredibly short list of acceptable websites to view. It was a fairly bog standard list, but I was surprised to see that Leeds University was on it. What the hell is that about??
After reading reviews of bars and clubs in Leeds and getting nostalgic I had a look at the list of famous ex students/staff. Here are my top 5....
5. An exchange student in the 80s this guy has climbed to the top of his tree...it's the President of Mongolia
4. Fit, fit, fit, husky and fit....it's Sky Sports News' Georgie Thompson
3. One of the literary greats, studying English in the 60s...it's Mystic Meg
2. Almost up there with Meg...it's JRR Tolkien
1. And studying Spanish, which helped him with the immortal line "Piff, paff, pooff"...it's the Great Soprendo - Geoffrey Durham
Bet you're glad I shared that with you eh?

Arctic Monkeys play tonight
No more sleeps to go
I expect a full review of the Monkeys' gig to appear soon - should be excellent. Of course, Millward saw them ages ago, before they sold out ;-)
Leeds is definitely on the up - the place to be... (errrm)
I like that question in the GT interview: "You studied Broadcast Journalism at Leeds, how did you get from there to Sky Sports?"
Hmmm, let's think... is it because of an insatiable journalistic instinct to research the top stories of the day and deliver them with in-depth analysis, or is it because you're as fit as a butcher's dog and provide mouth-watering eye-candy for the legions of sweaty unemployed layabouts watching SSN all day with their hands down their Y-fronts?
