- Get an education.
- Stare in wonderment at the surfeit of tall people.

so all in all not very useful.

but i was only there for a few hours (in a crazed cross-country dash to try and find a truck ticket) and it was term time, so the place was full of intimidating looking students.

it was a bit posh for me, but i'm scruffy and northern so these things tend to make me uncomfortable.

i'm sure this hasn't helped at all.

If it doesn't rain, that is. You can do punting until the start of October...

Have a drink at the Turf (it's hard to find. Go to Hertford college and find the little alleyway by the bridge)

Go to the Covered Market

Go up towards Jericho, see something at the Phoenix, sit in one of the rather nice pubs / bars on walton street

Sit in christchurch meadows and have a picnic

Look for rude gargoyles

Get there a day early to see Jeremy Warmsley, Francois and loads more at an all dayer at the Port Mahon!

Alternatively Wait For Coniston on the sunday will be rather amazing too!

for indie music

I don't know waht is on this weekend (because I no longer live that way) but there's bound to be somehting great.

eat at le petit blanc in jericho if you're feeling rich, it is very very nice

you are probably in oxford on two of the worst days, however when the 'best' days are i dont really know. if you were there a week later (monday 1st) then you would be in time for my housewarming party. foals are playing in the basement.
instead go to a pub called the star and drink lots of rum in the garden.

its flat too, which is a bonus. i come from place with lots of steep hills.

shopping is alright from what i can remember.
