    Sorry to hear about your dog b.ie.

    On the other hand, yes, my CS flat mate had an XP install disc, yes I fixed XP, and yes I'm running Leopard at 640x480 on my 1000H.

    She's alive and kicking. Which is why I mention it in the happy thread. No need to be sorry. The only thing hurt is the family christmas fund.

    Yeah I know that it didn't die but I sort of surmised that it wasn't very well.

    Aye, it's weighing down the boards server. What's with all the downtime lately? It must be driving CuLT insane..

    Can't say I even noticed any downtime.

    Woo-hoo for today is that I was getting my usual hot chocolate in Insomnia today and the guy asked me if I wanted marshmallows, and I did indeed, and it was amazing.
    I subsequently missed my bus, but it was definitely worth it.
    Also physics scholarships = possible chance of 1500 euro JUST for being a girl (and getting an A1 in physics but that's beside the point). Not sure if I should be seething about the discrimination of it, or happy about the possibility of free money.

    Hm, I probably shouldn't tell people about this, but I don't think there are too many other girls who are in first year studying physics on this board, so I might be okay.

    How many points did he/she get? (That seems to be the only requirement, unless it was one of the TAP/Mature/Female(lol) ones)

    Woo: Went to a fantastic gig tonight. Can't mention which one due to legal difficulties, but it was legendary. A great payoff to a lifetime of fandom.

    Hoo: My dog didn't die today. I'm going to be a terrible father. I spent the whole day chewing my finger nails while she was in the vets. I worried myself sick. The flip side is a whopping 400 squid in vet bills, but its totally worth it.

    I think we were at the same gig. It was indeed amazing.

    Hearing the word "yes" is a fantastic feeling, even when you have to ask for it to be repeated, because you nearly didn't believe the first time you heard it.

    It's ok. I promise that within 5 years of entering the workforce, you will be earning more than the girl who entered at the same point, to the same level job with the same level of education/degree.

    Let us have all our small windfalls now.

    Didja get your book vouchers for the Entrance Scholarship? Mine arrived at home yesterday.. pretty sweet, I'd completely forgotten about them. Pity you can't use them to buy food or clothes though, I've got enough damn text books [3].

    Lol, ninja'd by editing.

    To be fair, it's kinda that girl's own fault for assuming she'd be capable of working in a real job to the same intellectual capacity as a man. Everyone knows the only reason we let women into college is so that the smarter women can breed with the smarter men; it's a sort of amateur eugenics project designed to continue the suppression of the proletariat. The scholarships offered to women are to help them get their Mrs., not their B.Sc. - the €1500 is intended to buy dresses and pretty shoes, to make the smart women more physically appealing. Surely they explain all of this in the college calendar?

    I suppose you're aware that's the second time in less than a week that the education I have received has been described as a eugenics project.

    Ah well, I shall just have to stick it social engineering and go find pretty, tall and dim from a far away sunny country.
