Don't worry, today is my first bit of revision for my Jan FINALS. I actually hate myself.

[Bruce E Kinesis]

Don't worry, today is my first bit of revision for my Jan FINALS. I actually hate myself.

I was in a bit of a state before tbh. I really feel like i deserve to fail.

[Pastorius]

Y'know, I don't feel like I deserve to fail. I do however think that I need to start revising earlier for sure. Like, a month earlier.

I turned up to like, every lecture for these exams, hopefully it won't be too hard to cram.

Wish the libraries were open.

[yogerto]

why do we have a uk thred but not a USA thred or australia thred or a czech thred this is kind of racist guys

[Pastorius]

there were aus and usa threads but no-one posted in them

[yogerto]

oic well i will be in london in a month where do i get dank stinky nugs when im there should i hop over to amsterdam or does the UK smoke good herb

[Pastorius]

We smoke good herb. It's worth hopping over to Amsterdam anyway though, it's awesome there.

[overturned]

Some say Norwich is the Amsterdam of the UK.

[yogerto]

i will be going to amsterdam for sure but id love to see what you guys smoke there too

[jamjar602]

just play on ableton

i need to do this more, i can pretty much only record so far, tried to create a drum track the other week but gave up cos it was too time consumingly boring!

whats a good, fairly easy to use drum track maker (or whatever its called)?

[Surf]

ableton and reason are fairly easy for making drum tracks

ableton live would be pretty decent if you needed to play stuff live.

there's some stand alone drum programs, but tbh they don't have the depth of reason or ableton, so its worth taking the time to learn how to use the effects etc

[Bruce E Kinesis]

i love ableton, i use it as my VST host.

[Surf]

I need to learn how to do that, ther's some pretty cool vsts floating around.

I do find the arranging more confusing than in reason.

ableton looks really nice though. no wonder its developed for macs.

[Bruce E Kinesis]

It Works Fine On Windows

:angry:

[overturned]

ive found myself listening to music and buying tickets to see bands i've not listened to in years

its nice



more gin

[Surf]

It Works Fine On Windows

:angry:

but it looks prettier on a mac

actually i don't know i've only used it on windows.

[jamjar602]

:( i want a mac so bad, they are just all round better platforms

[Bruce E Kinesis]

:( i want a mac so bad, they are just all round better platforms

All Round my arse, there are plenty of things one needs to install windows on them for

they're better for plenty of things, especialy music

inferior for plenty of things, like working, and having fun

[jamjar602]

you think? i was using a mates at uni a few weeks ago and found nothing i didn't like about it, I'm not a hardcore user of a computer (most of the programs i use have mac versions) they're just quieter, don't crash as much, apparently have better security, and look nicer too (a white mac book looks class i think!)

[Surf]

I really like linux. if i didn't use windows for reason and ableton, i wouldn't use anything else. but i only really use computers for internet, listening to music and doing work, nothing too intensive.

i do miss winamp though.

[Pastorius]

I'm too casual a computer user to notice the difference.

[jamjar602]

winamp....ive not used that in years! stopped when one of my mp3 players would make it crash, and now i have an ipod I only use Itunes..even though its slower than a snail!

[Pastorius]

now itunes i hate

[overturned]

the i in i tunes stands for ian

[jamjar602]

out of interest, because ive wondered this for years and youtube hasn't helped me at all, but what use is a ring modulator for guitars? to me its just wierd spacey noises that i cant make any sort of tune out of (got one in a multi fx pedal)

it's more useful for keyboardists tbh

i can't think of a "tuneful" use for it with a guitar though there's much more to music than being tuneful, my son

[overturned]

there's much more to music than being tuneful, my son

play from your ****ing heart

I saw Ital tek live last year, supporting clark and µ-ziq, was pretty good.
was too drunk to appreciate clark by the end though and µ-ziq wasn't very good if i remember correctly. had trouble with his decks not working properly.
Jealous! I can't get enough of Cyclical. Sucks about µ-ziq; I reckon he would have been brilliant if all went to plan. The drunk thing has happened to me on so many occasions :(
Some say Norwich is the Amsterdam of the UK.Norwich is the awesome of the UK. But yeah, there can be quite a lot of cannabis there.

[2muchket!]

T'is not a bad thing tbh.

[Happy]

An ex-friend of mine just proposed to his girlfriend. He is 19, she is just 17.

She said yes.

This is weird.

[overturned]

its funny as well


time for some pregnancy and divorce jokes when around them i think

[2muchket!]

An ex-friend of mine just proposed to his girlfriend. He is 19, she is just 17.

lmao @ them

[Happy]

I know, I thought I'd find it really funny but really I feel sorry for them.

There's no way in the forseeable future they can marry, they both work 10 hours a week in Sainsburys and plan to go to uni later this year.

Oh and btw OT, there will be no jokes around them as there's no chance of them leaving the house now as they hardly came out before they were engaged.

[overturned]

do they have phones

[Happy]

She has an iphone that he pays the contract for.

He doesn't have one afaik but will probably get a matching iphone.

They also hate the internet.

[overturned]

her number has been forwarded to these http://www.macclesfieldcounselling.bacp.co.uk

looks like he's done that for her

its kitchen kitchen kitchen now

[Squirrel]

still no reply from her, though a friend of mine is one of her best friends and told me that she's out of credit

no contact on facebook or anything though, i would have expected that?

[overturned]

at the risk of sounding like a cunt, dont go chasing her and looking desperate. try and not dwell on the subject.



/have done this...in a court of law they would have called it stalking


also, pics?

[Pastorius]

Quit overthinking it man, classic way to fail, the overthink.

[Squirrel]

aye im not gonna add her or anything, or text her again, dont worry about that

i just think that if you like someone, they text you and you cant text back, then facebook would be a polite/nice way to let that person know why/that youre interested

cause atm she just looks totally disinterested ..

[Pastorius]

Well you did mention she was shy, maybe that's it. Maybe she hates facebook, lots of people do.

[Squirrel]

thats true, but this complete lack of communication doesnt spell too much good for me tbh

[Pastorius]

Weeell just forget about it for now, you've done all you can, move on, do some boxing or summint man.

[Squirrel]

meh

[overturned]

Maybe she hates facebook, lots of people do.

good lord yes

[Pastorius]

that's because facebook comes under the title 'everything', and you hate everything

[Happy]

I can see why people hate it.

[Brew]

don't suppose anyone in here knows any drummers around the Bristol area that want to join a black metal band?

[jamjar602]

I also hate facebook, bebo is far superior!

Almost the same thing happened to me Squirrel, went on a night out with a bunch of friends, got one of their friends numbers that i liked the look of, texted her for a bit and went on a few nights out with her, then not heard from her in like a month despite texting and bebo'ing, i hate how girls don't text back, its so rude!

[Pastorius]

I don't see how people can hate facebook, just don't go on it like.

brew i'm a drummer who loves black metal

[jamjar602]

I hate facebook, but all my mates have it these days and its pretty much the only way to keep in touch with them, I do prefer photos on facebook though.

[overturned]

[Pastorius]

Ha, not what I was expecting, I'll be honest...

[2muchket!]

uhuhuhuhuhuuhuh

Never used facebook really tbh. I've been frequently told that once I start uni I'll ditch myspace for facebook.

Not likely, I love myspace music too much tbh.

[Bruce E Kinesis]

don't suppose anyone in here knows any drummers around the Bristol area that want to join a black metal band?

I do, possibly. I only know his first name though. You'd have to facebook him out of the blue, we're not close.

I don't see how people can hate facebook, just don't go on it like.

Especially people who aren't students.

"I hate facebook"

"You're 35."


uhuhuhuhuhuuhuh

Never used facebook really tbh. I've been frequently told that once I start uni I'll ditch myspace for facebook.

Not likely, I love myspace music too much tbh.

Yes but facebook is such a better made website

myspace is designed to annoy people with awful backgrounds and autoplay profile songs

facebook is designed to let people share photos and invite people to parties

[jamjar602]

used to be that everyone went from myspace to bebo when they went to uni, come to think of it, us students need to get a life!

[Surf]

the only two people i know who use bebo are my little sister and my housemate who may well be the most retarded person i've ever met.

facebook's so much simpler. easy lay out and that

don't suppose anyone in here knows any drummers around the Bristol area that want to join a black metal band?

i would join, but only if i can play hip hop and dub stuff in the background

it would be fusion, it could be great

[Pastorius]

I liked facebook when only students could use it.

[overturned]

I liked facebook when only students could use it.

what if your name was stuart dent

[Pastorius]

Stu Dent. Very funny OT.

Man, can we all learn Dream Theater - Instrumedley and play it as an MX band, it's such an awesome song. Tiring my fingers trying to relearn it now.

[Surf]

i'm in if we can do Hate It Or Love It by the Game as well

[Pastorius]

what the hell does that sentence mean

[Surf]

it was originally 'i will' or something

but then i changed it

I'm tired, not really sure what i'm typing anymore

[jamjar602]

I thought you were just being gangsta?

[overturned]

could do with somesort of donk on it tbh

[Surf]

I thought you were just being gangsta?

there's nothing gangsta about bad grammar

that's the whitest thing i've ever said

good song that

[Surf]

god my house mate played that song all the time last year. it was like it was the only vinyl he had

people who can't mix should not have massive pa systems that wake me up

since we're doing the dub step thing, really cool version of sign of the times

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JTsEsOzStSg

[2muchket!]

good tune nonetheless

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dWQukgO1X6c

buzzin over this soo much atm

[Surf]

meh, not too keen on the big synth style dub step

right, i'm off to le pub. should wake me up a bit.

[Wish]

Yeah, the remix of "Where's My Money?" is pretty cool. "Cockney Thug" as well, but I've heard it so much. "Mr. Muscle" is Rusko's best tune.

Surf, have you heard Memories of the Future by Kode9 & the Spaceape?

buzzin over this soo much atm
Have you recently discovered it?

Been listening to the Fall of Troy a lot more lately.

Ghostship Demos especially are ****ing quality.

Lame.

i have a meeting at 9 :chug:

lol i didnt wank up till like 3 so ive decided to drink to feel tired

[Surf]

we have some taste in common, gimme an album to start with.

debut, post and homogenic are good places to start

post and homogenic are the best, but debut has big time sensuality on it

Bjork is awesome

[Bruce E Kinesis]

Good places to start might not be considering the more ambient it is the more i'm likely to like it

but i'll have a gander

[Bruce E Kinesis]

lol i didnt wank up till like 3 so ive decided to drink to feel tired

if i wank at 3 usually makes me tired

[Surf]

Good places to start might not be considering the more ambient it is the more i'm likely to like it

but i'll have a gander

she doesn't really do ambient. those three are all more kind of electronica albums, with all sorts of influences creeping in.

there's also albums that lean more towards jazz, folk and other such genres, but those three are her best

i'll edit in some youtube videos or something

its oh so quiet

:D

tears make the best lube

[Pastorius]

Honestly, I'd get the Greatest Hits, it's got the best versions of all the songs on there. All is Full of Love is way better on greatest hits anyway.

Also check out Michel Gondry's video to All is Full of Love, probably the most fitting video ever made.

[Happy]

There's a massive fire nearby its pretty scary :-/

[Pastorius]

Get the marshmallows out

[2muchket!]

mmm could do with some of those right now :/

[Pastorius]

I'm making myself a proper dinner, salmon, boiled spuds and some salad, maybe veg. I always feel better after a real plate of food.

[jamjar602]

I had exactly that last night pasta, was good so it was! looking forward to being back at uni from next weekend so i can start cooking for myself again, growing bored of having meals cooked for me!

[overturned]

i had soup, was great


finished it off with some pineapple and one of those uber cheap mince pies

at the end of the day, they have to be eaten

[Pastorius]

My dinner was nice. Feta cheese rocks. But I am in a horrible mood still.

[Brew]

I made a gnarley chicken and courgette pasta bake for my tea tonight.

[Pastorius]

That does sound good.

I am going to learn to cook more things as a new year's resolution. Cooking isn't that hard like, just gotta try it.

[jamjar602]

Anyone here heard of the New Frontiers? I got recommended them by a few folk on another site (Sorry!!!), checking them out on myspace at the moment, seem pretty good, dont know if any of you will be into them, quite acoustic-y orientated music.

[Pastorius]

Nope, never heard of them. Acoustic-y could be a lot of things man

[jamjar602]

well they describe themselves as indie/acoustic/americana, imagine an acoustic Death Cab for Cutie and you're pretty much there. Itunes UK store is gash, searched for about 8 albums released last year and cant find any on Itunes (yet were released on itunes US), got a giftcard for xmas and wanting to get some good punk rock/pop punk albums, go back to old school listening!

[Pastorius]

Don't listen to Death Cab so I wouldn't know!

Itunes is bunk full stop

[jamjar602]

agreed, the Amazon mp3 store is pretty good though, huge library! also, good band you're digging there :)

[Pastorius]

Yeah man I love them, gonna go see them in Cardiff in Feb. Only got into them a couple of months ago too.

Some of the tracks on the EP should have gone on the album though. And they have awful lyrics :p

[Dr Hooch]

suffering from genuine insomnia here

went to bed at 11, had some freaky synesthesic dreams

been awake since 1

[Pastorius]

Yeah welcome to my world Hooch.

[Dr Hooch]

oh hey man

you smoke loads of green though what'd i do to deserve it

[Pastorius]

Scuse me I've smoked once in the last month!

And loads of green makes you sleep dumbo

[Dr Hooch]

well anyway

:/

what do you do all night?

i'm leaving in 30 minutes to come to bristol actually

woop

[Aklerc]

I got up to take my brother to work at 6am today.

I'm doing early morning weights and daaaaamn it feels good.

[Pastorius]

I haven't been to sleep yet. Now who has a more ****ed body clock than me? Eh? Any takers?

[overturned]

I have a Ted Bundy alarm clock, does that count?

[Pastorius]

I said body clock you waste of space, not Bundy clock!

[overturned]

Its in the shape of a body

or, if you're more of a cockney fan, its in the shape of a bill oddie.

[Pastorius]

that's an alan partridge fan, not a cockney fan

do cockneys have fans anyway?

[Bruce E Kinesis]

:)

I'm doing pretty alright for someone running on literally zero hours sleep

BUT IT IS ONLY 10AM

[Aklerc]

I'm shattered now. I might have a nap.

[Pastorius]

Yeah I'm feeling OK for not having slept at all. To the library!

[Happy]

I haven't been to sleep yet. Now who has a more ****ed body clock than me? Eh? Any takers?

My sister.
This weekend she got up at 4am both saturday and Sunday.

The weekend before she was getting up at 4pm.

[Pastorius]

Hmmmm, I guess I've just been getting later and later. Fixing it today though, no sleep last night, jenga.

[Squirrel]

i need to decide what to do with my life, at least in the short term

[Pastorius]

Aren't you going to Uni?

[Squirrel]

ive finished uni ..

[2muchket!]

ive finished uni ..

Not heard anything back from that government job ?

[Pastorius]

ive finished uni ..

i thought you were only 20?

ah well

I managed to stay up and do some decent revision today. I will sleep so well tonight.

[Squirrel]

yeah i got the job though it doesnt start for about a year

um no i am not 20 i am 22

[2muchket!]

yeah i got the job though it doesnt start for about a year

um no i am not 20 i am 22

excellent man on getting it.

Maybe travel a bit if you have the funds ? Or try and get an enjoyable part-time job ?

[Pastorius]

well i never, you're older than me sonny boy

[Squirrel]

i might be going to grenada for a mont in march

no jobs about tbh :(


edit: i know, i dunno why you thought otherwise cause i remember telling you id finished uni

[Pastorius]

Yeah I got a bad memory with stuff like that. Sometimes I'll meet someone 4 times and forget their name still. Only if I'm meeting them under the influence of something though.

Well my advice to you is compromise your character as much as possible in preparation for your high level security job

[Squirrel]

lmao

[Pastorius]

what's that you say? you've got ties with the russians and the chinese?

[Surf]

you could probably make alot of money as a double agent

[Pastorius]

or a triple agent

[overturned]

or a gent

[Pastorius]

or a bleaching agent

[overturned]

Sorry, forgot to moan about something.



My boss threw a cup of coffee over my car today.

What a twat.

[Happy]

why did he do that?

[overturned]

no reason


on the plus side i found a really nice house today, downside being that it wasnt for sale nor do i have the funds to buy a house

it was this tiny little terraced house, except the other houses in the row had been knocked down so it just sort of stood there alone. was really cool.

[Grohlthegreat]

I really need to get back into playing guitar.

[2muchket!]

First hit of green in the new year wooooooooo

[Brew]

I saw 'Yes Man' earlier. wasn't quite as funny as I thought it would be but at least it got me out of the house.

[Happy]

Jim Carey ain't great nowadays.

[Pastorius]

OK I went to bed at 10, got to sleep around 11, got up at 1.

wtf?

[Squirrel]

laziness and **** metabolism

[Pastorius]

yeah i reckon i got both of those

edit: also sometimes when i get up i only half get up and i'm not really conscious, and sometimes i tink i turn my alarm off instead of hitting snooze, and it's really annoying

[Squirrel]

youre probably sleeping too much; doing so absolutely ruins your metabolism and drive

[Pastorius]

I have always slept too much, as far as I can remember, I naturally sleep for like 10 hours normally.

[Squirrel]

set an alarm then

[Pastorius]

I do set alarms, sometimes I turn them off in my semi-sleep though.

Most of the time I just hit snooze for too long.

I know you're thinking I'm a pretty weak human being now

[2muchket!]

[Wish]

22 inches is better than 17 inches ¬_¬

Everyone's got their own hangover routine.

Mine is a packet of ready salted crisps, half a litre of diet coke (with ice), and lots of lying down moaning

[Happy]

Smokers r jokers.

Exams causing you to smoke? Rediculous.

[Pastorius]

no, stress causing me to smoke

ridiculous*

[2muchket!]

Smokers r jokers.

Exams causing you to smoke? Rediculous.

The stress got me started again.

Then working with a load of women bitching at each other at work caused me to smoke even more.

Cutting down hasn't been too hard really, especially as I want to save 100 quid this month to buy an xbox 360 next month, so I've had an incentive.

[Pastorius]

Yeah I can quit at will, but it's nice to take a 3 minute break every couple of hours

[Happy]

ridiculous*

[Brew]

I have no heating in my room.

I am wearing gloves lol

i've been wearing two pairs of socks everyday since it got cold 'coz i'm too cheap to go and buy a pair of slippers.

and fingerless gloves ftw.

I always wear two pairs of socks all year round.

And I am unbelievably freezing.

Quantum Mechanics.

Here's something I'm holding in my brain at the moment.

"Representation of a quantum state |u> is a set of coefficients <n|u> appearing in the expansion in terms of a complete set of basis kets
|u> = (sigma) |n><n|u>"

[Surf]

Doesn't sound like its for me tbh

I'll leve that kind of thing to other people.

That's why the north isn't as good as the south. Its very cold.

[Brew]

Plymouth only hit the minus temperatures like, 2 or 3 days ago. I love the south.

[2muchket!]

Ain't that cold up north really.

I just don't have the heating on atm.

[Surf]

Its cold in Wales. Pipe burst today. I had to tighten some valve thing with some pliers and I turned it the wrong way and horrible brown water stuff went over my leg. was not best pleased.

I could light the fire but then I have to keep putting logs on it and its alot of effort.

[jamjar602]

I'm trying to write a song at the moment on guitar, spent about 3 days on it so far and I have an intro, all the verses, but can't seem to work out a chorus, its always the chorus I get stuck on :( elsewhere, I love how my little sisters are back to school now, I get up in the (late) morning and have the house to myself, considering theres 6 people in my house its the only alone time I get!

[Surf]

all that time alone

house to yourself

i wonder what you get up to

[jamjar602]

well course gotta hit the animal photographs! tbh today I didn't wake up till my sisters got back from school, felt lazy as ****, by the time I'd dragged my arse outta bed they'd done a full day at school! want to get up early tomorrow and go for a run up in the hills, but I'm goin the wrong way about it right now.

WOWOWOW p-o-r-n when written normal is displayed animal photographs? now I look like some wierdo! Bit wierd that they censor said word, not really a curse word now is it MX?

[Pastorius]

good luck pastorius

[overturned]

my annoyed rant of the day. by overturned.


why cant vauxhall make life just slightly easier when changing a ****ing fuse.
i mean my ****ing word. number 1 the instructions on how to open the fuse box are pointless as you end up breaking the hinges the way they advise when actually, if you (whilst cutting your hand) slide your fingers down behind it you can undo them from below. then once its open the bloody fuse pliers aren't anywhere to be seen, why? oh because its some smart twat's idea to put that in the light clusters in the boot.
what if it was a blown fuse on the starter and you'd backed right up against something stopping you gaining access to the boot, why cant they make it just that little bit easier, just a tiny bit.
its bloody common sense at the end of the day.

wankers.

[Pastorius]

i bet if you wanted fuse pliers in the boot you'd be complaining that they weren't there if they changed it

[overturned]

tbh, i dont see why they cant have two

its the way it bloody opens thats annoyed me most though

[Pastorius]

you just admitted you had to cut your hand to open it the other way

because 1 saves money

[Squirrel]

why on earth do you let such stupid and trivial things bother you so much?

I seriously think if youre as angry as your posts then you have an actual problem, its not normal to have EVERYTHING wind you up

[Pastorius]

great line

[Surf]

How'd your exam go man?

I'm bored, there's **** all on the tele

[Squirrel]

are you that guy that let that stranger in the house looking for a nonexistant person who in turn stole your stuff

[Surf]

yes

yes i am

[Squirrel]

thought so what a retard

[Surf]

yeah

but i didn't really let him in, he had a stolen key. i just had a chat with him in my room. then he went downstairs and stole some stuff

:(

[Squirrel]

lolle

[Surf]

yeah. wasn't the smartest thing ever. not sure why i tell people about it. doesn't show me in the best light.

i just blame the landlord for loosing the keys.

he'd already stolen the stuff before i talked to him, he just came into my room looking for more things to take.

[Squirrel]

man that is the best story ever

[Surf]

yeah, its a decent story

would be funnier if it wasn't me

luckily it wasn't my stuff though, so i can still laugh a bit

[2muchket!]

If none of your possessions were stolen then this story instantly become funnier.

So it's ok.

[jamjar602]

my flatmate let two random guys in our flat just before xmas (he'd literally met them on the walk home) they stole my bottle of vodka that i'd found had been sitting in my room at home for 2 years, i punched him for it. It was more the principle of it could of been anything in the flat they took cos he ****ed off to his room and left them in the kitchen, I got home and there were just these two strangers in my flat...

[Squirrel]

this jamjar guy comes across as quite stupid tbh anyone else get this vibe from his posts

[2muchket!]

he is a geordie....

nah he's ok man

[jamjar602]

stupid :( wait unless you mean stupid for moving in with my flatmate?

Thanks Frankie!

isn't your flatmate just a massive dong anyways or am I thinking of a different MXUK person?

[jamjar602]

Nope thats me you're thinking of Brew, he is without doubt the worst flatmate ever. only got about 12 weeks left of him though, as he goes on placement for a year as soon as this coming semester is over.

[2muchket!]

I've recently been informed that the accommodation for Northumbria is ****, and that I can get a bus in town that goes right near the uni in central Newcastle and it only costs 2.50 for a return.

So **** that for the first year atleast I'm staying at home.

[jamjar602]

I'd personally recommend Frankie, if you're not too bothered about the social side of halls, stay at home as long as possible. In my experience, you waste tons of money living in halls, like you don't even care about the stuff, whereas my mates from uni who live at home are loaded, because they don't go on as many nights out, it's easier for them to keep jobs all year round, plus parents don't ask for as much towards food etc as you have to pay for rent, food, bills, etc. But it all really depends what experience you're looking for at the end of the day.

[2muchket!]

I'm pretty much against making new friends and have been for about 6 months ahaha so I'm not bothered really about the social side of things.

And if I feel as if I'm missing out then I can always move up there in 2nd year.

But being able to keep my job would be a big bonus tbh.

[Surf]

living in halls was great.

do it.

[Squirrel]

i highly advise you live in halls

observe my previous post and reference jamjars ones on this topic

[2muchket!]

Well his does make sense especially since like I said all that getting to know people bollocks in the halls aint for me.

[jamjar602]

Don't get me wrong, halls was (were?) the best year of my life, but financially it was near crippling, as it was for alot of people I know, saying that, our halls were pretty expensive, £3,200, certainly was the most expensive out of the 3 Glasgow universities. Just got to weigh up pros against cons.

[2muchket!]

I'm going to be studying at Northumbria's city campus which is near the train station in Newcastle.

[Squirrel]

Near = 15 minute walk.

And why are you so adverse to meeting new people?

[jamjar602]

Pretty good pro there then. I would of had to take 2 buses and a train to get to uni when I was at caley, now it would be 2 buses, a train and a subway!

[2muchket!]

Near = 15 minute walk.

And why are you so adverse to meeting new people?

dunno really

just don't want to

[Squirrel]

strange

[2muchket!]

I can certainly see why people view it as being strange.

I just don't get on with many people nor do I like strangers really ahah

[Pastorius]

Halls was pretty mint, I've got to say. I didn't meet that many people that I stayed friends with but I had a proper laugh with my flatmates, we had great fun pissing off our block warden, who was an absolute cunt, loads of flat parties go on all the time, and our hall bar was 30 seconds away and 1.20 a pint.

[Surf]

same here, lived across the hall from the bar. was tremendous. pound a pint nights were great.

met loads of people and yeah, there's always something going on.

couldn't imagine living at home

that being said, having our own house is even better.

[Pastorius]

it was great where i was, 6 halls all in the same campus, all with their own bar

the challenge was 2 pints in each in a night, got you wrecked

[overturned]

Well his does make sense especially since like I said all that getting to know people bollocks in the halls aint for me.

Put up a large tent

Put a sandwich board outside with the words "Meet & Greet - £5".
Get a mate to take the earnings at the "door".

Let people meet you, let yourself greet them.
Job done and a little money made.

[Pastorius]

Guys, huge news. I just beat my Uni Challenge record.

18 points

[overturned]

students, since i googled google and broke the internet advise me on best places to seek advice regarding "higher education" .

thankyoumuchlove

[Surf]

are looking to go back into education or something?

maybe the ucas site (just google ucas) seeing as the whole application this is done through them.

it was great where i was, 6 halls all in the same campus, all with their own bar

the challenge was 2 pints in each in a night, got you wrecked

i loved the challenges like that. our bar used to do happy half hours, so from 7-7.30 8-8.30 etc until about 12 all pints were £1.

so the challenge was get three pints at the hour, every hour until close, then go out.

the bar would be dead until the hour struck and then there would be this huge rush to the bar. we got clever and made friends with all the staff.

[jamjar602]

One of the unions in Glasgow used to do that until the council's licensing board banned all happy hour type promotions :(

I'm intrigued by this Hall Bar thing, we don't have anything like that up here, the unis generally just have one main union, some push the boat out and have 2 unions, but not for the halls specifically, must be a good way to meet folk i guess?
