Ah jayzus ian... quit chopping logic to make your original argument sit. After studying it though you'd still have a fair idea of what you're getting into.

Ye'd know its getting near exam time, lil cranky are we?

studying through what? she possibly has never gone near QFT before this course, she didn't do TP in tcd.......

These "maths" subjects could also be called physics and ya know it too.

My point was is that they are lectured by the maths department so differ to whatever content is taught by physics. I don't know harder/easier all i know is different.

I ****ing HATE ARCGIS. STUPID PIECE OF **** FROZE AND LOST 2 HOURS OF WORK.

The bureaucracy at University of Warwick (at least within the politics department) makes my eyes bleed. The worst thing about it is that I'm sure they have a rule stating how and when such bleeding should occur. It's really weird considering how friendly and student friendly the library here is. It's like some sort of backwards Trinity.

I used think the ladies of House 5 and the BESS office had a thing for rules against students, but this place makes them seem like pinnacles of student friendliness.

Hmmm, I think my lab equipment is haunted. Either that or it's a full moon.

The ladies of House 5 are certainly less than welcoming, but I can't blame the BESS office for being unfriendly. If I had to deal with BESS students every day, I can't say I'd provide service with a smile. More like service with a slap and/or a punch.

And now, to run for the 14a.

ARRR, me mast be torn down by the wind and now I be stuck in open seas (translation: blown over I nearly was)

i smell. stupid CELL blades keeping room at a toasty 30 degrees...

This place has been very quiet since the election.

/watches the tumbleweed

Hrm. To be fair, this place has been very quiet all year compared to previous years.

Perhaps this is a discussion for another thread?

Stargal

Do you think it's that serious? I'm not sure; I think it's been pretty active this year and there've been loads of new posters which is good. However there are definite troughs when there are hardly any posts for a day or two. So maybe you have a point...

I think it got a bit cliquey, which is apparently intimidating for new people. If we leave it fallow for a while, we'll get some fresh meat in.

My rant: ****ing laptop backlight decided to crap out yesterday, just when I need it most. GRRR. I'm too busy to fix it at the moment too. Anyone know where I could borrow an external monitor for a few weeks?

Nietzschean

i don't think its cliquey, its alot of the people who used to do alot of the posting are either in final year or have graduated and just don't post much any more , e.g. Apex, Ed, Indy, me, stargal, ace rimmer(still posts but count is down from his hay day),andrew, etc...

...there's something oddly doom-laden about that exchange. Which other thread would you take it too? And why would it need to be serious? Or am I missing the point entirely? (which, given the currently level of brain-melt, is likely)

Bear in mind that it's coming up to exam time again, in particular for a few of the second-year posters (myself and Hils, for example) which probably isn't helping the post count. And don't most of the 4th years have dissertation-type crap being handed in right about now?

I have to admit I do think it is a bit cliquey. Maybe not deliberately so but there is at least an impression of it. A lot to do with a lack of knowledge the forum's existence. Not a difficult thing to change.

You're definitely right about a lot of the posters though Nietzs. I know myself, I'm tryin to remove as much distractions as possible, the theory being this would lead me to spend more time in the library.

Fair enough... (*cracks knuckles) I'll decide soon whether you deserve it

I'm not going to test this theory... but if I was to try it, I'd use a scissors.

John

But I mean how did he end up doing that? Silly roro!

Argh anyone else interviewed for the jcr? 20 or so smug little idiots trying to make themselves look good by intimidating whatever fool thought it might be a nice place to work in. Sorry but it's such a ridiculous situation and the last thing you;d expect in an interview, more like that crazy hazing stuff, it like only a bloody cafe. Do they have a reputation for that kind of behaviour? /end rant

King.Penguin

john - i think he did it on purpose

basscon - that's ****ing bent. i think the jcr ppl are a cliquey little bunch of ...... who think they're a whole lot more funny then they actually are.

They don't have any good reputation, anyway.

I dunno. when your position on the food chain is similar to that of plankton you'd probably start trying to make yourself look bigger than the other fish so a whale doesn't eat you. I believe these are the tactics deployed by the festering morsels of anal leakage that "work" in that turgid little black hole of humanity. Let's face it, they're not interviewing you to see how hard a worker you are, because no work gets done there, as when you have the audacity to ask for a sandwich, they appear to take it as a huge insult. I think the post natal abortion should be employed in these cases, purely to give the human race a chance of survival.
