I skimmed idly by at first, thinking it was just someone posting pictures for us to see the style that old ladybird books used to have. (I used to do work that involved cataloguing them, the old ones were really lovely.) Then I suddenly registered that the text was not quite what I would expect...
It is freshers week. So far I have seen them queueing to register in the library, and watching large men set fire to office equipment in the square. The lack of a reading room is my procrastinatory excuse du jour.
I really love today's xkcd.
