With the rain comes the new term. And students. All of a sudden they are everywhere.
I noticed the first hints of the onrushing term the week before last when the count of attractive young persons hanging around outside SOAS went up. Then last week the 73 bus was crowded with what looked like teenage girls, who all got off at UCL.
And on Friday they opened our college bar after its summer refurbishment. Its a sort of duckegg blue now, with industrial design touches, like exposed ducts and lighting fixtures. And closed blinds to give that underground feeling. It looks very much a some clubs in Brighton looked like in the 1980s. Except they'd have been painted black, not greyish-greeny-blue. I even took photos, which I'm too lazy to upload just now....
And the put the price of beer up to two quid a pint!
There was a rumour that it was going to be no-smoking but the few drinkers there on Friday (mostly the usual suspects from the staff) ignored the rumour and lit up anyway.
Today, maybe some real students in the bar? There were large numbers of rather cute young American women in the basement earlier. I think I'll go and have a look.
