    maybe we could sart a thread - everyone write a line each - i'm not claiming to have thought of this first -but i think we could do well.

    3000 words - it only needs 100 to do 30 each

    easy

    well unless you speak welsh

    ...shockingly, I've now been in Aber for best part of 18 months, and can still only speak tiny amounts of useless Welsh...well, I say useless, but I *can* say push, pull, fire exit, student email, information services, which, although midly useful in that I can operate doors successfully, its hardly impressive.

    Hmm, another hundred words (ish) done now...why has no-one written papers on what I want to talk about?? how inconsiderate of academia to not think about us poor lil students. Maybe its time for a trip to the 24 hour Spar for some inspiration.

    Graham- a book?! impressive! on anything interesting?
    P_D - what was your work placement for?

    hol x

    edit...I LOVE Izzard! getting to the worrying stage where me and the flat-mates can recite loads of it. And no-one else gets the jokes...oops
    One thing...that sets pulses racing...that gets hearts pounding...for which there is no substitute...only YOU can provide...blood.
