  1. I fucking love the GU memes - mainly for the inside joke value of them. Sadly now they've become popular shit ones are creeping in. GU were the first I saw, but Edinburgh have 2,000 more "likes" so it may well have been them.

    I posted it on the facebook thread but its still my favourite by a mile.

    Also, noticed a few mocking the GU accent... strange - most people I know still have... y'know... their own accent.

    Do I just pick my firends well or something?

  2. My newsfeed is clogged with people liking them. A couple of them are quite amusing but, obviously, I don't get some of them.

    Naturally a lot of them will only be funny if you know the oddity the meme refers to. Things like this. You have to know just how infuriating MyCampus was/is.

    Inside jokes rock. cool.gif

  3. To be fair, I have no idea who Mo Farah is. Now to Google him/her to find out...

    All I knew was that he's an athlete - I wasn't sure in which discipline, although I think he's a runner of some kind.

    I'll be honest I don't have much idea as to what Cavendish has done either - never been interested in cycling.

    Part of the reason why I didn't ever make a song and dance about them doing well in a contest of which I am really quite dubious of anyway.

  4. Congratulations to Mark Cavendish on winning Sports Personality of the Year 2011. My congratulations also go to Darren Clarke and Mo Farah for 2nd and 3rd. well done to you all :)

    It's almost as if she's speaking directly at them.

    I also guarantee she has no idea who Darren Clarke is, or why the idea of him having the 2nd most successful 2011 in British sport is laughable.

  5. ...and from the same person as above...

    Jesus: Santa

    Santa: Yes?

    Jesus: I'm sad.

    Santa: Why are you sad? It's Christmas right? It's your birthday!

    Jesus: Yeah. That's the point

    Santa: Why?

    Jesus: Because whenever its Christmas the kids only wait for you and not me! They only celebrate Christmas because of you! Why Santa, why not Jesus? -Dec. 25 is for Jesus not for Santa. Repost if You Believe in Jesus ! P.S He Knows You Looked ♥ -deny me in front your friends and I will deny you in front of my father

    Came to this thread to share that very one.

    Tragic.

  6. in my essay i've referenced a book, partly written by someone in the department, that has yet to be published. i found it on google scholar and took quite a lot of information from it before realising the date on it.

    is this allowed?

    If it's on google scholar then I can't see why not.

  7. I'm not the type to leave things to the last minute, so I was exceptionally worried about my (2500-3000 word) essay which is due tomorrow (and worth 75% of this 30 credit course and could count to my final mark) I was sitting at around 1700 overnight, but have managed to hit 2600, with 2 and a half hours work this afternoon, which is a massive relief.

    I have an A5 for the other 25%, so naturally it would be a massive boost to at least keep this in the high B's and make this course that I thought would be more a case of something to get over with, something that could actually help my final classification!

  8. I have to write 3,000 words assessing the critical reception to a musicological book.

    This would have been useful if I was interested in getting into academic wankery.

    A sentence fragment from one of the reviews.

    "[The author]'s sociological examination of evaluative practices eschews quasi-evaluative assertions about the value of..."

    Fucking hell It's like Sao Paulo analysing JC Hutchisons bye kicks in a match between Clyde and Auchinleck Talbot.

  9. Same deformed nose, and the glasses look the same.

    Totally agree. I see no-one has followed my advice from earlier in the thread on how to deal with it. <_<

    I have never seen anyone with one of those stupid disc things in one ear and nothing in the other, so I'm betting nay.

  10. The test was extremely hard. 40 minutes to answer 60 questions, roughly 100 people sitting it. I answered about 50 of the questions, would say that I was pretty confident on 15 of those, with the rest educated guesses. If I had to guess I'd say I got about 25, which I can see being respectable, but probably not enough to go through. Theyre going to email tomorrow with scores. In the meantime, heres some examples of the questions.

    What is the longest river in the UK not to enter the sea under its own name?

    Name 2 of the 5 African countries passed through by the Greenwich Meridian

    What is the most populous island on Earth?

    What is the name, from the German, given to conflict between secular and religious leaders, and specifically Bismarck's clashes with the Papacy?

    The house of Wittelsbach ruled which German state from 1180 to 1918?

    Plantar refers to which part of the body?

    Afro-Eurasia. smartass.gif and if it's not - give me one reason that's not an island :P

    f**k knows about the rest.

    Also, someone mentioned a distaste for historiography... I know exactly what you mean - and I only did it in a music context <_<

  11. Got all my Class Tests out of the way over the past week. 2 of them were fine, should get decent marks for those. 1 of them was an absolute shiter just my luck that this year is the year they choose to change the format and content of the test.

    Enjoying this year more than 1st year probably because I punted Computing Science. So far the work hasn't been too challenging and aside from one of the Stats courses I should do pretty well.

    Is any of these LoveFilm characters hanging about any other Unis? Every time I wander on to Byers Road they are there with their ipads asking what films I watch and what games I play. Most annoying PRs, or whatever they call themselves, I've come across.

    Absolute c***s. They don't even give say "hi, can I ask you a question" they just ask you from nowhere - "where do you get your films?"

    I answered "back alleys and bins" and kept walking.

    He wrote it down...

    Got my seminar script back, and was surprised to find I'd been given an A5. Nice wee surprise, I was a little unsure about it.

  12. Frapes are shite and the material totally predictable.

    Yes, i was fraped last night by one of my mates, who predictably changed everything in my profile to "In a Civil Partnership", "cottaging" etc etc. No originality whatsoever. "If" i was planning on getting him back, i like to think i'd be more original.

    I must admit, I do like some frapes, my personal favourite being the one where they change the victims birthday to today, and see how many happy birthdays they get before they notice.

    Also, starting events in their name is always fun.

    But the sexuality ones are really dull now.

  13. I'm the photographer from City Falkirk

    The photographer in City on a Saturday night is a right creeper though, he even wears one of those proper geeky utility waistcoats every single time he is working.

    I avoid him at all costs when I actually go.

    laugh.gif Let battle commence.

    Although, about the privacy thing I'm certain I've seen signs saying things like "by entering the premises you consent to being filmed/photographed"
