    I feel you are duty bound to give us a detailed description of 'person' so the rest of us may be wise before the event in future

    Yep, and there's pretty much no air circulation in the library except in the middle bit on the top floor. You're best finding other rooms around college to study in - despite the lack of library totty.

    A friend of mine just got back from Mexico and has a cold. He was in there today studying. I didnt go anywhere near the place.

    anyways, thats the second time I've seen someone write that they know a person just back from Mexico who's sick. How irresponsible can you get?

    Whats worse than smelly people is smelly fat people. Breathing heavy and taking up ALL of the desk.

    I'd prefer if these kind of spineless douches making these comments weren't in the library than the smelly fat people they're bitching about...

    Because?

    Not bitching, just asking people ton consider those around them and the smell they are subjecting people to.

    Esp in close quarters.

    They should have a smellometer at the electronic gates. No entry if you're over the limit or else pay a superfine and there's a time limit on the amount of time you can stop in one place

    Librocop would love that - he'd get to sniff everyone on the way in.

    I gave up on the lib today. The library tottie could hold me there no longer. The place is far too packed and stuffy. So from now on I'll study in the peaceful surrounds of my plush abode

    If you don't need access to dead trees, there are all kinds of other places you can study. The Engineering building has several quiet rooms upstairs, and the 50-seat computer lab currently has about 10 people in it (including me). There are also quiet and spacious areas downstairs in Newstead, though the computer rooms are being used for exams; today for sure, but probably not over the following weeks.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Got it. Look for me, the 27-stone 44-year-old guy with his **** hanging out. If you're lucky I'll fart on you.

    27 stone ... what's that in Metric? (Gets out the calculator.) 27 x 14 x .454 = 171.6 kg. Oh. Never mind the hygiene, what are you doing to the structure of the Library? :eek:

    I guess you're going to boycott Ryanair, then? Please?

    Nah - just kidding. They just need to open some more windows.
