That's cause Hatfield is pants. You don't wanna go there

My house is about 1/3 mile away from Hild and Bede. What date MM?

Ahh, that would be telling... Have to speak to you on M$N sometime.

¦M¦

No, I'm afraid not.

I applied to van mildert, I can't remember if my application was open. They told me that lots of people with open applications get sent to VM and I got the impression that some other colleges have a phoney sense of superiority because of that. I remember having a laugh when I was there at least, and liking VM, though I nearly spilt 6 drinks at once, nearly immediately making myself a college pariah.

But Durham is SOOOOOOO far away from me though, as a Londoner. I don't know why I applied. The trek factor totally put it out of my scope.

I think you'll all enjoy the trip tho

And I'm an hour's train journey south of London...

¦M¦

hmmm...

can you stomach a 3-4 hour train journey?

Hatfield is a cool college.

At least you didn't actually spill the drinks. About a month ago, I was in the dungeon (a club in Southampton) with a full pint of cider clutched between both hands, elbows sticking out, when someone walked into one of my elbows, removing one of the hands from a pair which - being either side of the glass - was necessary to the status of the pint being held.

I wasn't drunk, I swear! It wasn't /my/ fault that the whole thing hit the floor and made a sizable mess over both floor and surrounding populous.. but the barstaff didn't believe me. .. they gave me another pint, though.

Thats good work njan. I expect more of the same in the future

3-4 train journeys I can cope with. That's here to Oxford or Warwick. It appears to be 5 hours from here to Durham. Still, I've just got several more books to get through, so I'm sure I can cope.

¦M¦

you're a stronger girl than I am, though thats possibly obvious.

[HP}=~~

hey, no teasing.. it wasn't funny. .. anyhow, I normally drink bacardi in the dungeon.. it's easier to drink straight shots and leave the glasses at the bar: it saves having to negotiate dance floors with glasses and bottles. the dungeon being full of bikers and goths with little seeming coordination, it's somewhat challenging at the best of times.

Well, I can cope with mindless tedium for quite a while (I haven't got bored in lessons for years). I managed to go a 14-hour coach journey (to Germany) without getting bored and I spent only half an hour of that time reading. And I was awake for all of it.

¦M¦

That is an amazing.... astounding talent... I envy you.

[HP}=~~

Why thank you. I took Critical thinking this year to make sure I kept up practice (and to get a qualification for not a lot really). Haven't got bored in that yet, so I'm doing well.

¦M¦

Oh Collingwood

It's only four hours from London to Durham. I did the journey by train for the meet last year *and* it's direct!

It is? From which station?

¦M¦

King's Cross

And atm I can't get on M$N. I'm hoping to buy a modem as soon as I get to Durham but I may not be able to afford it

I'll have to give you me mobile no. by email or sommat
