I am feeling a lot better now. Seem to have passed the flu to my next-door
neighbour. She was not too happy earlier!

leave by 7am Monday morning."

The man and that crane have gone - but they are still there filming. I have
the impression that they have been setting up around the clock and most of
the lighting was only there so they could work at night.
I wandered round the Sheldonian and Bodleian today but they are filming
inside one of the rooms right at the back and security would not let me go
anywhere near it. They do, however, seem to have the restaurant and toilet
facilities a short walk away (this is in fact 4 double decker buses that
have been refitted and parked outside Wadham College with large catering
vans at either end). I will take my camera with me this afternoon and I hope
to get some pictures when they are at lunch - as they have to walk down
public roads to get there (and security can not manage to stop everyone
photographing or get in everyone's way).

they must have had enough of it, and have started showing off!"

>From what I have gathered security seem to be fine if you are male - they
just tell you that you cant go wherever they do not want you to go. It is
the women that have been having problems. 'Typical' lad behaviour - giving
all males a bad name.
