Durham General Chat Thread

Sounds good. A friend of mine at another place had a christmas dinner with his house, and then got so drunk he fell asleep on the bathroom floor with his roomates taking pictures of his half naked body. LETS DO THAT!!

His roommates sound like a rather strange bunch, poor guy...

To be fair, he did deserve it, in the grand scheme of things. He's a nice guy, we're good mates, big it up to him and all, but some of the things he says makes him deserve it.

Case in point: "Anything north of the Watford gap is northern, and who wants to go north? It's sure to be full of lots of northern people."

He deserved it.

Not that I know of, but it'll be nice to have some space to myself. With 5 kids in this house, and given that I am unfortunately sharing a room with my 9 year old sister, it's not something I've got much of over the holidays. And who knows, I might even get some work done (!)

I hate first bloody capital connect. I cannot wait to get back to Durham so I don't have to use them for a while... although I'm going to have to use them for a few stops to get up to Durham

With the amount they've increased the fares, making my 40 minute journey take 2 1/2 hours is completely unreasonable. Especially when that included over half an hour waiting outside Kentish Town station for them to send enough buses to me to get on...

Because my parents refuse to transfer me between Durham and here any time other than the beginning and the end of the year, and I don't like flying because it makes my ears go funny (I'll fly out of the country, but there's no need to do it within the country). Happy?

Flying is also massively, massively, massively bad for the environment. I like the polar ice caps, personally.

It depends, one seat on an aeroplane replacing an entire car isnt going to make much difference. Asides, the same lot that excessively complain about the environment also hate every solution that is given to them. Like nuclear power for instance...

Um, when have I said that I'm totally against nuclear power? Be careful with that tar brush mate, it's sticky.

But you are not for it, are you? Otherwise you wouldnt be pointing your finger at the people who fly, would you?

Um, what? Aeroplanes aren't powered on nuclear fission! Being opposed to flying- or at least, flying when there are feasible and far more environmentally-friendly alternatives- does not necessarily mean an automatic opposition to nuclear power. I don't much like nuclear power, and I hope we can find an alternative that's as efficient, but at the moment it's preferable to fossil fuels. Don't make stupid, prejudiced assumptions about people you don't know.
