It's been over a month since I last posted, and for that I can only apologise and offer excuses of too much work at the end of term, etc!
I thought this feature written for gair rhydd would be of a little interest - my week of blagging. It's in this week's issue, so if you're around Cardiff University, don't forget to pick up your copy!
Installment 1:
The Art of Blagging
To blag: “A means of obtaining something by trick or deception, to obtain something for free” (Wiktionary.org).
Monday
I have one week to test the blagging limits of this fine city. As I stepped out of the Union into the rain I felt strangely confident in my mission, and quietly smug at the prospect of a week of getting something for nothing. Well, not that quietly, I was whistling. I bumped into a fellow student on Cathays Terrace, explained my objective, and came away with a safety pin. Sometimes you have to start small.
