Sometimes I repost news here concerning my employers, the University of Surrey, especially when it relates to things of interest to the topic of the blog. Here's something completely off-topic, but which I thought I'd pass on anyway. As reported by the Antigua Observer, a graduate of the University of Surrey won second place in a beauty contest (I don't know if he won £10). There were several categories on which the contestants were judged. Given the picture, with our graduate on the right, it's a surprise to me that he did not come first in the magnificent wear category. I think his outfit is splendid.
I also like how the language in the story uses the verb cop in the headline. Though a perfectly acceptable usage in standard British English, I don't think it's a word I'd expect to see ever in a British newspaper, used in that way. Lovely.
