Re: The Cambridge Chat ThreadThere is no real ceilidh on Friday(Original post by Athena)
I wonder if L will be asleep in our lecture at 3 then... I'm going to my first real ceilidh (rather than a Scottish reeling) on Friday, should be fun! Although I need to find some comfortable shoes...
Although even CUCB ceilidhs aren't "real" in the sense that werlop stated, as they tend to have mainly English country dances to Scottish ceilidh tunes. Varies according to caller of course, some of our callers are a lot more scottish orientated than others. And for the record there are some fiendish English Country dances as well. Round ceilidhs vary according to how scottish they are, but afaik they tend to have more english music, which is a Good Thing.
The list on the CUCB website is of ceilidhs that are open to all. Besides all of those we have 7 other gigs this month alone iirc(Original post by scarlet ibis)
I've never been to a proper ceilidh, only barn dances.
how does one go about finding out when they're on? there's some sort of a list on the CUCB website but its not clear who is able to come to those events.

I meant one in Cambridge(Original post by scarlet ibis)
You can get a proper D lock (only type worth getting obviously) for £9.99 in the bike shop on Burleigh St. Not found a D lock cheaper in Cambridge myself.
Nah, I've just been round the 4 bike shops within a 3 minute walk of my house and found that the Bike chappie at the market was the cheapest in terms of D-locks, but that the Cambridge Cycle Centre had one of those coily things that the salesperson said was as strong as a cheap D-lock and would be more convenient at the same price (£17). Massive thing. I may just go with the D-lock from the market though.

Re: The Cambridge Chat ThreadIf you transfer me the monies, I can pick one up for you. Its literally 3 minues from where i work, so I could put it in your pidge. Up to you. I would suggest that those coily spring ones are never going to be as good as a solid D lock.(Original post by ukebert)

I would personally go for the curly lock (as I did) because they're much more convenient and you can lock your bike up more elaborately
Get a helmet like mine that has a light on it as well, they're awesome 
I rang my insurance but forgot what I was ringing them for, so asked a really trivial question
And I still don't remember! Oh well, complaining email time now methinks

Re: The Cambridge Chat ThreadThanks for the offer, but I have no idea how to transfer money, it'd be too much hassle. I'll get the D lock from the market I think.(Original post by scarlet ibis)

I was just there 10-15 mins ago.(Original post by Glutamic Acid)
Hey if you go to SAINSBURY'S right_now you can meet me. -
Re: The Cambridge Chat ThreadClearly you have not been doing enough work(Original post by alex_hk90)
Oh my days; I beat you - that's not a good sign!

I have my college test tomorrow morning for which I have done next to no revision. I am so tired that I am practically falling asleep now. I am going to make myself some dinner, try to work but otherwise curl up and sod the lot of them. -
Re: The Cambridge Chat ThreadI think the limits were imposed because of me back in 3rd year(Original post by munro90)
nopes I was shown the light last year- no need for internets for me

Having said that i did get a usage warning yesterday and I can't work out why- i hadn't hit the internet hard on sunday at all- literally zero iplayer, no skype, just a bit of browsing
oh well i don't get them too often
(also one of my friends was one of the people who got blocked last term- he accidently left some software open all day with no limits on it and suddenly he was well over the max limit)

Has the you-know-what that was taken offline last year been replaced yet?
PS: let me know what the others in your year think about more clinical contact. I am sure I can rally some of the Kingsfolk in my year to help out. -
Re: The Cambridge Chat Threadyeah thats what i was refering to. it was replaced not long after it was originally taken offline with a shiny new model. Let me know if you want details and i'll pass it on(Original post by visesh)

I ran it past two of the others earlier and they were well up for it- i'll chat with the rest tomorrow and we should be able to get something sorted out.
how does one go about finding out when they're on? there's some sort of a list on the CUCB website but its not clear who is able to come to those events.
Nah, I've just been round the 4 bike shops within a 3 minute walk of my house and found that the Bike chappie at the market was the cheapest in terms of D-locks, but that the Cambridge Cycle Centre had one of those coily things that the salesperson said was as strong as a cheap D-lock and would be more convenient at the same price (£17). Massive thing. I may just go with the D-lock from the market though.
Get a helmet like mine that has a light on it as well, they're awesome
