    You managed to get through a new thread in five months (!), so here's a new one, GOGSoc the Third.

    Link to GOGSoc I

    Link to GOGSoc II

    We seem to have lost a few members from the original thread, so here's the updated memberlist adapted from the OP:

    First post, horah!

    So yes, did you change my font pink? It's suddenly changed pink. Unless I'm going mad and all this font lark is making me go a bit cuckoo.

    I've done no such thing. The excitement of Garamond is making you hallucinate.

    I'm not often grumpy, per se. So I suppose that counts me out too. I'm more moany, happy, or depressive. I could do a grumpy face though! >:3

    Sorted - I copied and pasted from two pages, I'm guessing she appeared on both for some frankly bizarre reason.

    Chinny reckons - did you ever used to say that, whilst stroking your chin? Or was that specific to my primary school.

    I reorganised my hard drive today (I should be doing work, you say? Only once all other possibilities are exhausted) and I had to make a new folder for LOLcats to have all to themselves. They were loitering on my harddrive in all sorts of inappropriate places.

    If we had a Horny Old Graduates Soc it would be HoGSoc.

    On a related note, I was astonished to see that a Chemistry Post-Doc friend of mine (nothing to do with CB) had watched 14,000 YouTube videos and had 500+ favourites. She just dwarfs my mere 4,500. But then her 7+ years postgrad vs. my 1 and a bit at least mean I've nothing to be ashamed of relatively.

    I want to see the grumpy face! :p: I used to be moany but now I'm just dark and brooding, then depressive, then incredibly joyous.

    It's 'cos she's so cool, innit?

    Whenever I set someone's youtube video as a favourite they go and remove it almost straight away. :hmmm: :beard:

    So I have 0 favourites :p:
