Description This is Poseibun, ready to hit the waves. Yesterday he went and got a tailor-made Crewsaver buoyancy aid. He's going on holiday to Minorca next month and it's unlikely that they will have Bun-sized buoyancy aids so he thought he'd better take his own. Being Poseibun, lord of the sea, it is less than unlikely that he will drown, but he wouldn't want to go against RYA rules.

I am oh so proud of the little logo. Took me ages and started life looking like a dirty mark, but looks pretty good now, I'd say. Especially considering it's 4mm across.

Bun was knitted by the ever-wonderful ~xIce-Firex

He could legally cox rowers with that too. I bet he'd be good at it!

You'd need a Bun-Human dictionary. OMG! Boat full of bun rowers!

They'd have to row with their ears, which would be interesting. Does Poseibun's ruling over the sea extend to rivers? In which case you'd want him on your team...

Of course he has control over rivers, he is a mighty water lord! Actually, you know what would work best? A crew made up of Bun, Poseibun, Mutant and Bwaabit with Muffin as the cox. Bwaabit would be bow since he's so small, Mutant and Poseibun would be the big tough guys in the middle of the boat and Bun would stroke! Though Poseibun's bouyancy aid wouldn't fit Muffin.

I'm sure I could make another buoyancy aid. Poseibun would blatantly be the best rower cos he has the biggest ears and he's about the tallest and he's lord of the sea. Everything's in his favour. Is mutant a zombie? Because you might have to worry about his ears falling off. And if he's like the undead in the Garth Nix books, he won't like being on the water at all.

No no Mutant was just born in requirement of a small amount of ear surgery. Ie having them attached. Poseibun would be two, lots of power in that seat in a 4, and of course he's be the crew captain. Le gasp! Between them Mutant and Poseibun make up the colours of the Cambridge scarf! We will ignore the fact that indiviudally they're Cambridge and The Other Place blues . . .

Yay Poseibun is the decent blue! And maybe the decent place... for science, anyway.

Depends whether you want your science more focused from the start or beginning broader and then narrowing down. It always amuses me that, despite lots of league tables putting Oxford at the top, it's only ranked best in 5 subjects and Cambridge is top in 37.

I still maintain that oxford blue is meh. Probably since I attended two schools with navy as the uniform and got very tired of it.

I now want to translate all coxing calls into Bunese!

Don't ever have a ninja as cox.

I won't get into an argument about Oxford and Cambridge because I'm not good enough for either and to be honest, I hate them both equally for being so up themselves. And it fits right in with not understanding patriotism.

We are not up ourselves! We merely have a certain percentage of the student body who are ¬¬ mostly brought on by thinking that being here makes them GOD.

Have a PIRATE as a cox!

But you think Cambridge is better than Oxford despite obvious retardedness in several areas. Like not letting you specialise in chemistry.

Race between a pirate cox and a bun cox: ee! arr! ee! arr! ee! arr! Sounds like a creaky door.

Yet it still manages to come out ahead of oxford on the league tables for chemistry. I think it possibly benefits from being the slightly less well known one though. What I want to know is why hardly anyone seems to have heard of Bath uni. It's always really high up the tables!

Sounds like a police siren! Tis also a race that needs to be staged. Epic showdown.

Bath is new and shiny and therefore must be shit. And how can it beat oxford when it doesn't even OFFER chemistry?

And I shall film the race from the side of the river on my pogo stick.

You can specialise after your first year. Jo's going to specialise in geology! Rocks! I shall be focusing on german literature of either the 18th/19th or 19th/20th centuries which involves lots of goethe or lots of depression and feminism. Woop.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE. Whilst wearing a trench coat and perttu gloves I hope!

I would quite like Tim Minchin's coat and a Perttu hat, actually. But I'll go with what I've got. Also, a Perttu hat might not appreciate falling in the river, which is probably what will happen.

Hmm . . . you'd look like a hobo with a long coat and waterlogged top hat.

Well THANKS.

I was going for the Bill Bailey look, actually.

Oh so funny. Also human slaves, to an insect nation aa AA AR Ar ar! And so many other quotes... I haven't watched any Bill Bailey in ages and I think Rich has taken the good box set containing Part Troll.
