Don't have any advice, just a similar story. I bought something from eBay in April 2003, and it still hasn't arrived, despite a year's communication with the (apparently retarded) seller. I tried to use a service that eBay offers called Square Trade to try and get some information, but that didn't w...

Meh why not just go jump in the sea now its still May.



I still have a broken rib. Thanks, anyway. Any suggestions that don't involve my moving that much still welcome, though.

Sorry to revive an old thread (a whole day since the last post) but does anyone of a superstitious bent know of a definitive way to combat these things? I stood on the letters a couple of years ago as I was getting out of a taxi. But this is my final year and I was hoping to cleanse myself with the ...

If your roommate dies, you automatically get a first. So I believe.

Finally I have a reason to drink



Honey, I don't think that extends to drinking Tesco white label vodka.

Where did you get that statistic from?

The first time I attempted my Bronze, my group and I got so lost that when they eventually found us (in the middle of the first night), our location wasn't even on the maps we'd been given. I believe we'd crossed county lines. The following year, I retook my Bronze and did my Silver concurrently, so...

I've seen two different dentists in St Andrews, and my favourite (the guy I've seen more than once) is the one with his surgery on South Street (upstairs and next door to Rock Sensations). Lovely man, really put me at ease. So if it's a particular dentist you're worried about, I'd recommend this guy...

If we're talking children's books, "Goodnight Mister Tom" by Michelle Magorian has been my favourite since I was about nine years old. I just reread it last week and get more out of it every time. Didn't watch the TV version, though, because I didn't want it to interfere with the version in my head....

Favourite books: "Lolita," Vladimir Nabokov. I'm always reading it. If I finish it, I go straight back to the beginning. Sometimes I just pick it up and start reading from whichever page it falls open on. "Tender is the Night," F Scott Fitzgerald. Far, far superior to "The Great Gatsby". "Peter Pan,...
