Are you still planning to start next month?

yep thats the plan, moving into halls of residence on the 13th, the finances are still about 70% ok and I still could risk missing a year if its not sorted, but who dares wins and all that.  if it all goes pear shaped I may try the Open University, I have some credits from a past MA course so I could even skip the MA and do a PhD directly. But that entails living in Milton Keynes, and if you have ever seen that place, well lets just say its grey but not in a good way.

Which uni?

Figgy's moving into the dorms!    The college kids will never know what hit 'em. From my experience this new crop has no clue how to party...they just sit around looking up stuff on their smartphones. Lame.

Lance its the University of Eel Wranglers of course.

Halfy I fear my Fresher scaring days are long gone, but I may have a trick or two up my sleeve, watch this space.

I have absolutely no doubt!  

She'll be leader of the pack.

Why do images of Galadriel and her more rustic but devoted band of Lorien elves pop into my head?  

I have always found Mrs Figg to be an Eel Wrangler of Special Magnificence - but imagine how good she'll be with a Doctorate!

{{{Oh... but then... I guess I won't ever get a toe in the door no more - it'll be all the Crowned Heads of Europe (and Forumshire) from then on, and no humble Ozhobbits allowed past the front door, let alone allowed anywhere near the Booking Counter...  }}}

I am going to write my thesis on Scottish eels vs English eels: Prolonged Squeezing: why the Hiberian eel migrates to Enland for the annual thrutching and mating ceremony, why is the Hiberian female eel not up to much: discuss.

Sounds absolutely fascinating!  

 

 

Why hibernian eels? I have heard essex eels are the most interesting. So many layers to get through before you find something of note. Like pass the parcel!

Essex eels are orange. Scottish eels are red (raw)

Well they are when you've finished with them.  

aaaand.. leaving thread.

*cough* Anyway...

Here's an awfully cute tourist video from my neck of the woods.

That was lovely Ams ! If THAT dont excite you enough to visit well, your a trog !  

woah.. internet is slow at school.. jeesus.. will have to watch that later xD

Shouldn't you be doing more appropriate things at school- like smoking behind the bike sheds, drinking buckie and snogging folk? (ah school days! I remember you hazily!)

eating lunch.

Well dont get crumbs on your keyboard! I hate that, makes me very crabbit.  

i am on my computer, so lay off! not ur problem!

Well dont come greetin' tae me when you cant type Benedict because your 'e' key is gunked up with crumbs!  

Young people today just cant accept friendly crabbit induced advice from their elders and betters.  

crumbs in the bed is worse
