The Official Cambridge Offer Holders Thread 2017 Entry

I do hope that problem isn't a regular feature of your life.

Cheerio.

Hmmm, I seem to recall its first principle: Don't criticize, condemn, or complain.

I think I need to reread it again. I've reverted back to complaining about everything in life lol

Christ, all this talk of Star Wars, Harry Potter and Pokemon makes me wonder if I spoke too soon when I said we're not all stereotypical nerds. I didn't envisage the brightest young minds in the country being so enamoured of this infantile stuff. I mean I'm partial to some star wars but Pokemon???

Yeah, I am haha. No, I'm sure you won't. I'm not gonna bring my DS or something to uni. I haven't even touched it since the Christmas holidays, I was just defending myself. My interests are still very nerdy but only when you get to know me or chat to me on TSR where I just don't give a cr*p about someone over the internet thinking I'm a huge nerd. I keep my nerdy stuff to myself, except where history, philosophy, politics, etc etc is concerned.

I shall. I hope you enjoy continued success as a moderator of a great thread. I thoroughly enjoyed it until I participated.
All the best.

**** that I'm taking my DS

Pokemon is great ok

Me too then

I'm 99.9% certain you play Pokémon, right? Battle during freshers?

Top tip: try not to be as unpleasant in october, you wont make many friends

And to think I was rooting for you: I still remember you from my personality type thread. I make one inane comment about a 3+ game and everyone reacts like I'm a Nazi and I'm the unpleasant one?
Top tip: if you spent less time being a cry baby on TSR, you might have actually hit your offer. Good luck in York. And now you really can call me unpleasant

Wow, this is just sad

Oh, you mean you dislike being patronised? Well, so do I. Fortunately, well never have to meet. Save your pro tips for your York buddies.

I complain all the time online In 'real life', I rarely complain. Weird.

There's no problem in complaining, or as I prefer to think of it: "straight talking". But Carnegie is actually a sales-person and his book is really a manual to help people make sales. Complaining or condemning a potential client/customer is obviously not a good strategy

That said, wandering into a room and complaining/condemning some of the people inside is also not a good strategy either - and to then backtrack and say, aw guys I didn't really mean like that, is disingenuous at best.

Oh man, I miss all the good stuff.

Now you can catch up!

Eye of the beholder I think. The last flurry of messages to seemed more pathetic than anything else from one side (no guesses who).
