Phenolemonology of the Ferrero

I'm not being paid by Ferrero for this free publicity, by the way. Mr Ferrero, if you come across this website, send me 30 boxes of Rochers and I'll call it square. Grazie.

If you haven't yet done so - or even if you have - submit a name for Tim's Monkey on this page!

The Great University Lie

The trick is to convince all the kids around you that university is really really hard and you do lots of homework and read books that are bigger than them and never ever watch TV.
