I felt really sorry watching a lone guy ashamedly smoking a fag outside a pub in edinburgh today. Like smokers are being stigmatised. BUt in all honesty, its about fucking time. It isnt a stigma, its just telling you to get your fucking FAG OUT OF MY FACE WHEN YOU ARE IN THE PUB! My kind of discrimi...

I dont think any of my polls were good enough... But I visited the sinner after a 5 month or so absence... and there was my poll on the front page. It was a Steve Irwin one. And yes, I was drunk when I did that. Maybe there is a waiting list for redundant polls. Why didnt you let my Bad Girls one th...

My PhD interviews have been delightfully costly... £53 to Edinburgh/Manchester return, thanks to the 17 hours notice they gave me. Although I did get to Sheffield and back for £22, booked 3 weeks in advance. I havent travelled by train for about 6/7 years (bascially since i have had to start paying ...

Last and only time I was in the Tudor, the bin in the Ladies toilets had four canisters of Butane in it.

How much Butane does a girl need?

http://quinnster.fqdn.net/ This site is great for pictures and experiences of braiding a dreading. I have found that if you want to do braids or dreads, you can do it quite cheaply yourself with wool... I used Colinette wool before, its thick and dready and lovely. However, as I was only putting in ...

The Boris campaign here (in Edinburgh) came across in the worst light possible... he just got hammered, signed breasts, staggered into teaching labs... and was campaigned for by a bunch of well dressed yahs. Yes, THEY WERE yahs, and I did witness a bit of poster-ripping on their part. Not good. To t...

I was trying to be anonymous, so I chose the japanese name for Sailor Pluto in Sailormoon, which afterwards I realised contains all the letters in my first name. I thought noone realised my geekiness until I met munchingfoo's lady... And my geekiness is enhanced by visiting the sinner after graduati...

Mike Ritchie told us that you should really include the journal it's in as well... you cant really reference properly in an exam, so he said he expected to write (Ritchie, 2004, Nature). It's not difficult to achieve a 15. its difficult to achieve more though. Trying to get a first on an exam essay ...

I hate poems. But I like this line in 'Ode to a Nightingale' by Keats:

"Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;"

Depressing. But good.

I loooooooove dreadlocks on men

Seriously

I'll agree with Flarewearer on Pg 1 - I knew the St Andrews library was shit, but since I've started at Edinburgh I've realised just HOW bad it was. I have only been in the biology/chemistry library here, but compared to the never-open-cupboard under the stairs in the Bute Building, the library at E...

I buy 'broadsheets' more often now that they are in tabloid format. It makes it much easier to read on the bus and saves you getting caked in newsprint. I think its silly to get upset about it. A change in format wont change the content. These are all well established newspapers, and they arent cove...

I love X-Japan depressing tho.

No, no, no, he is NOT Richard Gere, I dont find him sexy. But Koizumi would get it. Seriously.

... The Japanese Prime Minister...


... is it wrong that I find him really sexy?

I have to agree with the above posts. You can go to the union, but just drink soft drinks. Sometimes when they let underagers into the union, they pick some at random and alert security inside, and they will watch you to make sure you dont drink. When I was 17 in first year, my roommate and I were c...

Quoting Zombie Sheep from 00:17, 7th Sep 2005 Yeah, no chance of anything marine related til maybe half way through senior honours. Sorry about that. If you have enough room in the car, bring a tux. You will go to a few more formal events that you are used to, hall balls, etc. As for the biology th...

My feet hurt
