    When they offer you the job just tell them there is a prior commitment. Don't leave it and leave it and see what happens...

    Thanks beanie, I thought so. Didn't do it non stop... 10, 8, 10 and 9 running but I am getting better. I will never be super fast but considering from where I came from its good :D

    Congrats on you TMA marks, I only got 68% and 70% so gave up... Keep going :T

    I have just deleted a potential date from FB because on his profile, under 'Favourite books', it says 'What are books?', and when we were chatting, he asked me what wilful meant.

    Am I just too shallow and snobby? :o

    Not at all. The point of the on-line profile and chatting is to see if you potentially have anything in common. An intellectual mismatch must be quite hard to get past and you don't want to end up feeling like his teacher or Mummy!
