I've met them all when I went to be standby for my friends' team. CJ is definitely an arse, but the rest seemed OK.

Sorry if I've missed it earlier in the thread, but what have you applied for? I was at the applicants day yesterday attempting to get some maths students to consider taking statistics as one of their other subjects. Hopefully I managed to convert a few people!

Another crash and burn from South Africa today.

I'm looking forward to seeing Sideshow Bob. I wonder if he'll ever have faced a striker quite like Kenny Miller though.

'arry said so at the start of the season, and the media kept referring to it in the first 3 or 4 months of the season. Are you telling me that they are wrong?

They are also putting together a serious title challenge this season.

I'm looking at the exam timetable now, and it only seems to have 7 out of my 8 exams on it. They've also managed to give us 2 on the same day, despite not having any in the entire first week and a half.

Mine will actually be in Statistics. I'll be looking at the spatial and temporal patterns of disease in Greater Glasgow.

I'm going to be doing a PhD in Streetwise Studies at the University of Life.

I have no doubt it will be a pain at times, but hopefully I'll manage to get through it

I'll like it a lot better when I'm getting paid to do it next year!

The Hive is the name of a nightclub attached to the Glasgow University Union. I presume that will be where you are going.

I have just accepted a funded offer for a PhD in Statistics at Glasgow for the next 3.5 years. I need to get a First Class Honours degree to get it though.

The one at the back of that same photo looks like an ogre.

How long until someone sees themself or someone they know? I give it about 20 posts.

Somebody I know had one on cup final day last year. I think it was in the morning though.

Smurph, ignore the haters. I think you could be as big as Rebecca Black after that performance.

I'm the opposite of that. -0.75 right and -1.25 left.

You couldn't make it up.

It's for short-sightedness, so I'll only be wearing them when I'm driving or at the football or looking at things far away. Hopefully I won't need them around the house or anything, and so a "dependence" won't develop.

I am now a speccy four-eyes.

Nope. I think it's because I'm doing a numerical subject, and I haven't ever really needed to do any essays or anything else which has required me to reference any texts. There have been recommended reading books for a lot of the courses, but I've generally just studied from the lecture notes and it has been a success so far. I thought about studying abroad, but decided against it for the same financial reasons you are facing now. Is there any way you can source a sponsorship or something similar from somewhere? Otherwise, perhaps apply for a job as an extra on Neighbours?

I haven't taken a single book out of that library, so I wouldn't actually know.

Possibly. They seemed to enjoy the sweets, but you never know, some people might well have felt like that. I didn't make a big deal out of bringing them or anything though. Are they looking for £4k because you borrowed a library book in 1843 and haven't brought it back?
