    Glad you enjoyed it, behave yourself in Fresher's Week :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I'm sort of ignoring it to be honest - have gone in as second year, I'm OLD and I live miles away so need to get trains:rotfl::rotfl: However if anyone wants to force free food on me I'm there!
