For an ABBA counterpoint, you should follow it up with "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". :danceboy:

I will def check it out! Cheers for that :danceboy:

I'm supposed to be watching the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday for my dissertation as well but it's my college daughter's bday party, so will have to watch it on iplayer :yep:

The Bod has books on Eurovision, as well as Steps! :woo:

Said books are also in Cheshire. I love the fact that they have to lug these books all the way over from Cheshire for me :rofl:

My tute partner did suggest that we nudge my college daughter to incorporate watching Eurovision as part of her bday party, but I thought that's a bit harsh! :p:

My tutor wants us to watch some random documentary on iplayer. It's related to our Purcell course and features an important theatre in Stockholm. I'm quite tempted to plan a trip combining a visit to this theatre with a trip to the ABBA Museum (which should open in 2010) and see if the college will pay for it... :ninja:

This one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kfqgq/b00kfqdf/The_Birth_of_British_Music_Purcell_The_Londoner/? There is, at least, an Oxford-y moment or two :yep:

That's the one! What d'you mean by Oxford-y moment or two? :eyeball:

I'm not Purcell's greatest fan but it should make a nice change from all the Mozart. My tutor for that topic refuses to acknowledge the fact that I'm not as classical as she would like/expect me to be and thus can't refer to specific keyboard concertos off the top of my head :no:

Meh, it was alright... nothing mind-blowing. I just had it on in the background when I was pretending to work :tongue:

I'm really not sure how much anyone would benefit from having

\hat{H}\psi=E\psi

on their wall - after all, if you can't even remember that, you're pretty screwed :tongue:

i\hbar\frac{\partial\psi}{\partial t} = \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2\psi + V(\mathbf{r})\psi

A bit harder but a bit better-looking IMHO.

Guys I need to get some dinner, want something like a mission burrito but not a mission burrito because I've had that about 8 times in the past 7 days. Any other tips for satisfying fast food eats in town that aren't too unhealthy?

Reply 1391

Nandos? :P

How about some italian? There are plenty of places on / around george street.

Actually - what is there that's healthy and quick?

Reply 1392

Oh and mission is the best!

Well I don't really want to go and sit down in a restaurant by myself...might just go back to mission, I think I'm only one stamp short of a free burrito...

I'd have offered to come but I'm in a library, which is more productive than not being in a library. (I never work in my room - and eventually I'll have run out of other things to do and start work)
