    Chatter away Camchatters!

    Had to go and get my washing out of the washing machine in order to continue packing and couldn't wait around any longer to shut the old thread :p:

    Full credit to Slumpy for the depressingly nerdy title :cool:

    Sadly not, I'm jetting off to Queen' straight afterwards to perform again. I'm performing in the buttery at 11.30-12.30.
    they're turning the buttery into a performance room? interesting. last year it was some "youtube cinema". in any case i will definitely come and find you.

    how's the exams stuff coming along? you had your first yet? noticed your equity tweet. hope it's all ok now.

    I also suspect a lot of people would be ashamed, rather than proud, of the title. This has never worried me before however:p:

    Well if anyone has any better suggestions I welcome them :p: I also suspect that like the tripos exam thread we'll get people coming in and being like 'lol, you're at cambridge and you have a nerdy thread title'.

    Whenever I think I've been a TSR member too long, I think of people like Visesh :p:
    Haha yes, my procrastination at work led me to look at some of the really old posts, I was amused to see the number of people who I've seen posting up until quite recently. I'm alarmed that I've already posted in 7 of the 9 Cambridge chat threads though :o:

    I hate not being the geek. It's just not meant to ever happen. What is the 'it's over 90,000' reference? I don't get it. ;_;

    There's a meme called "Over Nine THOUSAAAAAAND!" from Dragon Ball Z, I think.

    To be fair, I only knew it because I have a mathmo boyfriend who shows me all of these things :p: Linguists are just inherently cooler than everyone else :cool:

    Less geeky isn't the same as "inherently cooler".

    However, since you've opened this can of worms, what would you guys say are some of the subject stereotypes? I think it's a given that Mathmos are insanely clever and lawyers have no morals... :p:
