Monk punch-ups

But this is one of the best news stories I've seen for ages. It's just the odd-couple idea of six denomations of monks cohabiting in somewhat cramped conditions, and occasionally having punch-ups. I particularly loved the Ethiopians and the Copts throwing stones at each other over possession of the roof. Shenute would be so proud :D
We have been invaded by builders who are doing confusing repainting and re-silling things to the doors and windows. I'm hiding upstairs and debating tea etiquette >_< I mean, if I were my mother I'd *certainly* offer tea, but does it seem rather patronising when some dreadful oik of a student does it? Meh. I'll go ask at about 11, that seems respectable tea time. I hate having to deal with people >_<
Oh yes - and happy birthday, onee-sama ^_^ *glompage* Hope you got my card. Even though it was frankly terrifying @_@
