London Meeting, 8th August, Evening (but starting in the afternoon..)

[red_jon]

Bored does not even begin to describe it

Maybe its better if you don't get on with everyone you're living with - more of an incentive to go out and socialise more.

I'm also living two doors down from an ex, completely by chance. God really has it in for me

Hey, this is the London thread, not the compare Swansea flats thread.

Been to Port Talbot yet?

[C0ckney]

i'm bored ****less, and it's only been a month. it's cool seeing all (well the ones not still in the gulf) of my mates again, but going to the local every single friday and saturday and paying silly amounts for drinks just doesn't have the same appeal after being in swansea for a year :/

maybe you're right about the socialising thing, dunno if i could hack it though, good luck with the ex as well

bods, never been to port talbot, but my mate used to play rugby for them and some ugly bird from there fancied me :/ what's so great about it?

2:1? what does that mean? you have a weird grading system. We have percentage grades. I think it's better.

[Solly]

1:1 (first) 70% +
2:1 (upper second) 60 -70%
2:2 (lower second) 50-60%

Don't know about the rest.

I'm averaging 59.3% over my second year (2nd and 3rd year go towards the grade). There's a big difference between a 2:1 and a 2:2 in the eyes of employers so I hear, thus I'll be making a special effort to scrape to 60%.

[Az]

then, my grades are:

First semester, all 1:1s, 2nd some 1:1s, and some 2:1s.

It seems that I am about to fail Diff.Eq. so I'll have to retake the exam in the Autumn.

[Solly]

This is the pub we want guys.



Hopefully this will work. See the arrow right in the centre.

Nope, Stew, that's the wrong Moon Under Water. Admittedly it's Wetherspoons' fault for giving two pubs within a mile of each other the same name.

[C0ckney]

Tell me about it - I've only been out in Eastbourne to pubs once since I got back - I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay £3 for a drink! I prefer getting drunk with my friends round someones house/beach/dangerous cliffs when here - much cheaper

I really can't wait to get back to Swansea though.

Bods - Nope, I ain't been to port talbot. Farthest I've been seems to be the mumbles, lol.

on the contrary. If I see a the pub on the pic, I'll know I am in the wrong place.

Frankly in the circles I work, if you get anything less than a 2:1 you might as well not have bothered going to Uni in the first place...

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Ok that is a Friday... ... I could come I guess, in the evening most likely... the plan is to be there whole night? when does it close?

What circles do you work in?
