Henry the Hedgehog has, it seems, gone rather dormant.

So happy our university spent a shedload of cash on a new finance and HR system last year. It has really clarified communications...

Psychic night with Eileen.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, because otherwise how else would a psychic know how many chairs to put out?
