post a commentWedding was aces, reception was great. Spent most of Sunday recovering from my excesses. Photos to follow at some point. James & Catriona are now in the sun, damn them! 
I can hear those bells already. It’s James & Catriona’s big day tomorrow, my nails are done and my pink shirt is ironed (how metrosexual darling!). I stupidly put my suit in to dry-clean at the last minute and so have got to pick it up first thing in the morning. Of course, my worries pale in comparison to James’. Best of luck mate

I’m not sure why I’d kept them for so long. After a moments thought I set about ripping all the paper out of them and binning it all. A very liberating experience I tell you. I did keep one binder of Maths 2Y note though, as they “might be useful”.
I often scoff at these “Ten more CSS tricks you may not know” articles due to my supreme knowledge of all things (ha!). But, some of the tricks described in this article I didn’t know about, and number ten is genuinely useful (no, go look yourself).
