A thing which might remove some confusion… 

 A list of sand buffaloes

            Agapanthus Ramphorincus Rowsmith:

A small blond sand buffalo. He lived in the town of Nuuk. A student of Lobsterology with Limpet Studies at the University of Thule, Agapanthus would repeatedly get the shit kicked out of him for various reasons, and eventually died of exhaustion after attempting to tidy his best mate Sanitation Hellhole's igloo.

Sanitation Gastronomy Hellhole:

An alcoholic sand buffalo, also a student of Lobsterology. He lives in absolute squalor at the top of an incredibly long flight of stairs and is obsessed with playing the Playstation game Final Fantasy 16. His best mate Agapanthus died while attempting to clean up some of the filth. At his parent's home on the island of Nova Zemlya he has a pet wolf called Ecky-ecky-fkang.

             Washer-Dryer Camel Arteriole:

The brother of Jellicoe, this sand buffalo currently studies Painterliness at Thule Uni. He, like almost all the students at Thule, drinks far too much for his own good. His parents live in Muckle Flugga and have a pet mountain lion called Wildebeest.

             Jellicoe Rubicund Jaarjaarbinks Arteriole: 

The older of the Arteriole brothers, this sand buffalo studies Shakespearialisation. He drinks shitloads of fermented apples. He used to have an extensive collection of lychees, but they were all stolen by a large musk ox called Sorority Gibbon.

             Jambalaya Extraterrestrial Talcum: 

The mother of the Arteriole brothers (she remarried), Jambalaya works in the University library. During her youth Jambalaya worked in a diamond mine in the South Pacific. She has been married three times: Firstly to Pineapple Hampsterdance Worrybead Beegee, secondly to Jaarjaarbinks Asymmetrical Arteriole (the father of Washer-Dryer and Jellicoe) and most recently to Jellicoe Potato Talcum.

             Ramphorincus Jellicoe Dambuster:  

He is in his first year at Thule Uni, also studying Shakespearialisation. He can be a particularly difficult sod and always has to prove people wrong (it's a genuine brain affliction). He has very long fur and during term time lives in the igloos of residence.

             Surrogacy Sandwichspread: 

A student of Shakespearialisation, Surrogacy is famous in Thule for putting it about a bit. Agapanthus Rowsmith in the "Metropolitaine" Nightclub once attacked him with a meat cleaver. Washer-Dryer thinks he talks like Gazumping Madagascar off the TV programme "Royal Occasion Road". His parents, who live on a glacier in uncharted territory, own a big horse.

             Moratorium Solstice Goldfish: 

Yet another student of Shakespearialisation, only this time female, Moratorium is fancied by, among others, Surrogacy, Jellicoe, and, before he died Agapanthus. She is from the town of Stavanger in Norway, although she currently resides in an igloo with even more stairs than Sanitation's in Thule.

             Barbecue Hysterectomy: 

Small and with a strangely disturbing voice, Barbecue is on the same Painterliness course as Washer-Dryer. He is incredibly wealthy and owns a sixteen thousand-acre estate in the Yukon Territory. He also fancies Moratorium.

             Langoustine Patacake-Patacake: 

Out of term time this female sand buffalo lives in Hudson Bay where she Hudson Bay. During term time however, she lives in the igloos of residence at Thule. She has in the past, got off with Jellicoe, Washer-Dryer and the late Agapanthus. She was also propositioned by Barbecue but she turned him down. She works in the hotel adjoining Tianenman Square cocktail bar, called Bastardisation's.

             Necrophilia Mystic Onanism: 

A big lass, Necrophilia, pursues Washer-Dryer endlessly. In fact, it is rumored that they "did things" one night in Banana's nightclub. Washer-Dryer was so plastered he can't even remember going there, and nobody has asked Necrophilia yet. The rumors may be a slanderous lie started by Sanitation Hellhole as a joke. Necrophilia is best friends with an algae-maid called Sexonlegs, and studies Aerosmithery at Thule.

             Jamboree Jimjams: 

A Shakespearialisation student and the algae-maid at the University algae-chamber. Jamboree fancies Washer-Dryer a bit. She is also completely obsessed with the musical "Ghosty bloke of the Theatre" written by Ampersand Leaf-Weirdo. She has particularly bushy eyebrows.

             Colostomy Jaarjaarbinks Myopia: 

Now this one is just scary! Colostomy has a completely pointless obsession with a science fiction programme created in the sixties. He actually thinks it is completely real and is all going to happen. He sometimes (only sometimes) can be seen near Sanitation Hellhole.

             Moronic Rosebush (usually known as Arse): 

This sand buffalo is really egotistical. He is a big fan of the genre of music known as Black Plastic and loves the band Wclub5. He is immensely unpopular with the rest of the Thule Uni students.

            Jellybaby Krill: 

A small, religious, ginger-haired sand buffalo. She may or may not fancy Surrogacy Sandwichspread (and his brother). It depends what day you ask her on. She has a fixation with attempting to choke on coins.

 Leprosy Hungerfordmassacre: 

A weedy sand buffalo; Leprosy goes into Internet chatrooms and pretends to be a lesbian. He studies Spare-Time-Pursuits at Thule.

             Vanuatu Stromeferry Fibrosis: 

A female sand-buffalo, Vanuatu is studying Lyingonthefloor at Thule uni. She is going out with Sanitation Ricekrispies and lives in an igloo opposite Jellicoe Arteriole.

             Sanitation Toenail Ricekrispies: 

This tall and emaciated-looking sand buffalo is going out with Vanuatu. He is a student of Shakespearialisation, also at Thule.

             Dispraxia Sandwichspread: 

Dispraxia is Surrogacy's little brother. It is suspected that he fancies Jellybaby and possibly that they did 'things' on the night of Surrogacy's 21st birthday.

             Hatemail Crabapples: 

A female sand buffalo who isn't ginger she's strawberry blond; Hatemail is a Shakespearialisation student and went to Surrogacy's party.  

            Septuagesima MalinBridge: 

An algae-maid at ClubBL, Septuagesima was at Muckle Flugga School with Washer-Dryer. She is a fat bitch.

A list of places where sand buffaloes may be found on a night.

Banana's:  

                A nightclub in Thule named after Ruler Haggis VIII's second wife, Anal Banana. The students of Thule Uni only go here as a last resort, if everywhere else is shut.

 Bastardisation's (formerly The Middle Hotel): 

            A hotel on the end of a terrace of early 19th century igloos, Langoustine Patacake-Patacake works here as a waitress.

 Tianenman Square:  

                A cocktail bar dedicated to the communist regime in China; it adjoins Bastardisation's.

 ClubBL (formerly Tintin's): 

                ClubBL is a seedy nightclub that used to be very popular with the students of Thule. Then the prices went up.

 The Metropolitaine: 

                This nightclub is themed as a Parisian tube station. Student Night on Monday's is perennially popular. It was once    
                joined to Ruler's nightclub by a set of stairs (now removed) when Ruler's was still called The Conduit.

Ruler's (formerly The Big Mess, formerly The Conduit)

  Much crapper than it used to be; Ruler's is never frequented by anyone under the age of eighty and even has a dress 
  code. It was much better when it was The Conduit (Its incarnation as The Big Mess was just dire).

 The God-King Rambunctious (formerly a supermarket): 

                This enormous algae-chamber was once a supermarket until the chain of Heifer-Cutlery bought it and transformed
                it. Sexonlegs Reality (a student of Boringness) is an algae-maid here.

 Contemplation's: 

                This is Thule University's own private algae-chamber. Jamboree Jimjams works here. It is named after the famous
                writer Irritation Contemplation and is usually very busy. It sells pizza at lunchtime.

 The Pagoda Catacombs: 

                Very dodgy indeed! This is one of Thule's surprisingly high number of really crap algae-chambers. It sometimes has
                live bands.

 The Gare du Montparnasse: 

                This tiny algae-chamber is built into a retaining wall near the Fjord that goes under Fjord Bridge. The people who
                named it thought it would be amusing to name it after a rail disaster in Paris where a train shot through a retaining
                wall at a major terminus. Their logic was that, as the train made a hole in the wall, and the premises are little more
                than a hole in a wall, people would look at the sign and say "Ooh! Hilarious!". However, they don't.

Bloody Freezing's: 

                An algae-chamber. So called because they can't afford radiators, anyway they'd melt the walls. It is in an igloo after
                all.

 Oracle Leisure: 

                This place is a particularly massive entertainment palace, where sand buffalo students go to spend their hard-earned
                grant cheques. It is right by the beach at the bottom of the McPod Steps. It has lots of electronic gaming machines
                in it (but, unfortunately for Sanitation Hellhole, no Final Fantasy 16).

 Permanently's: 

                This is a small trading post built on the edge of the glacier that reaches into the Fjord. Lambada Mixamatosis (a
                female Shakespearialisation student) works on the counter here. It sells everything you could possibly imagine and
                does a particularly exquisite line in pies.

 Thule University (formerly the Western Greenland college of Education) 

                Promoted to university status in the 1990s, Thule offers a varied range of courses, all of them very easy to get a 
                place on (which goes some way towards explaining the freakiness of the students).

 Yadayada's Wine Igloo: 

                This algae-chamber is one of a nationwide chain originating from Tunguska, where, incidentally, Jambalaya Talcum
                went to university. Apparently the chain used to be very seedy but has now gone quite up-market. They do a wide
                range of food as well as alcohol.

 The Trawler Park: 

                This algae-chamber once employed Washer-Dryer when he was only 13 years old. It is on the seafront in Muckle
                Flugga. The Trawler Park was for a while owned by the travelling entertainer Jellicoe Increment Fastidious (some
                of his stage names include Ffestiniog "Sparkle" Dangermouse and Professor Filonian-Freak).

 Hideous Fashion Statement's (formerly The Northwest Territory): 

                In its former role as The Northwest Territory, this algae-chamber used to be frequented by Jellicoe Arteriole, when
                he was still at Love Lane College of Painterliness, Anal-Retention and Shakespearialisation. He doesn't go there
                any more. It is now a theme pub based on a 1920s opera house (the 1920s currently being considered
                fashionable). The algae-maids dress up as Flapper Calves.

 The Cost That Belongs To Us: 

                One of a national chain of music shops; the students of Thule go here a lot. It sells many things by many different
                bands, including Los Escarabajos, Germolene and the Artificial Valves, The Dryer Moronics Band, and even
                Wclub5.

 The Kaalalyt Nunaat Conservative Club: 

            This was the location for Surrogacy Sandwichspread's 21st birthday. It is near the uncharted territory where he lives.

 Goering's Kebab Shop: 

            On the very edge of the uncharted territory, Goering's sells kebabs so cheap that, when he went there, Sanitation
            Hellhole could not believe his eyes.

 The Thule Hit Parade: A load of popular Bands.

Los Escarabajos: 

                This is Washer-Dryer's favourite band ever. They split up in 1970 and their former lead singer Jellicoe Lobotomy was shot in the back in 1980 outside his igloo on Kodiak Island.

 Germolene and the Artificial Valves: 

                Another band who were popular in the sixties. They often come to Thule during the summer and play gigs at the Phantasmagoria Theatre on the seafront.

 The Dryer Moronics Band: 

                Actually they really shouldn't be on this list as nobody in Thule other than Barbecue ever listens to them (although Washer Dryer received a CD of them as a birthday present from his Dad. His dad currently lives in Buenos Aires and has no taste whatsoever).

 Wclub5: 

                This band is the favourite of Arse. They play Black Plastic music. According to the Daily Arab, Wclub5 were responsible for some shootings in a school in Ulan Bator.

 Mambala: 

                This band is Jellicoe Arteriole and Sanitation Hellhole's favourite band. They play Heavy Plastic music. Jellicoe, Sanitation and Agapanthus went to The Grand Day Out (a concert) in Kristiansand and Agapanthus got completely covered with filth in a moshpit.

 The Far Too Political Public Speakers: 

                This band is so boring. They read the Guardian. They are Ramphorincus Dambuster's favourite. They used to be relatively good until their lead singer fell into a fjord and the rest of the band opened their own private lard factory.

 Wispasmith: 

                The lead singer of this band is called Sustenance Turnip and has a mouth wider than the Yukon Estuary.

 Broken Lift: 

                This cheesy band sings crap songs with crap dancing inspired by the 1970s band, Mining Disaster. They are subjected to much ridicule in Thule. One of the females from this band was refused access to the bar in Oracle Leisure when they played a gig there. The bouncers didn't believe she was actually 25 years old and very famous.

 Gazumping Glitterati:  

                Until recently Gazumping Glitterati was quite popular among the older generations in Thule. Then the police discovered his vast collection of under-age Porn…

 Tagliatelle Journeying: 

            An old sand buffalo; he was considered to be sexy by many female sand buffaloes during the sixties. They would throw items of their underwear at him. Presumably he had a display cabinet at his house that needed filling up.

 The Backroad Blokes: 

            A boyband. Nuff Said.
