I thought it was good Ali, everyone taking the piss out of his accent behind us - wow, he has an accent, big bloody surprise, him being foreign and all.
It was fairly physical and a little repetitive after a bit, but a good introduction i thought.

And nah I'm tired and really don't feel in a going out mood, thanks anyway. Just hold onto t'livia all night :wink: Or a girl in sunglasses :wink:

I know! I disliked the peopel that took the piss out of his accent, I liked it when he suggested that we go on a random holiday to China...
Maybe Tlivia could put on sunglasses...

I need to get alcohol in my room so i can drink then go out, spending less money. Though I need lots to get drunk now. Last nite seeing the Doctor: 2 reefs (strawpedoed), vodka redbull, whiskey coke and a snakebite and was a tiny bit tipsy for about 30 minutes, not good. Could have been the sweating of the alcohol out the system, nice :p:
Last night:
Bottle of Magners, Snakebite, double apple sourz, malibu and coke, strawpedo reef, Jelly baby, malibu and coke, vk apple. And I was... tipsy... Lol. And I drank them really fast too, to try and improve the elation effect. Didn't work too well, really. Usually takes more than that though...

Ugh, the plight of an aging and seasoned alcoholic.

Scary.
I have no idea how to get my essays up to standard, everyone says journals, but I canney find any useful ones :frown:


Yeah, just go to the library and look in the geography journals section (level 4 mostly) and find something you're interested in, then find an article that could be slightly interesting (yes, hard to do!)....then just read it to get the basic "feel" of how to structure an essay.

If you let me know your Durham e-mail address I can send you my 1st year essays as well as one essay that I've done this year (and if you like a formative essay plan that I did this year too!)....just to get the jist of essays....it's annoying but by this time next year you will be amazed at how natural it comes to writing essays :smile:

If any other geographers want essays and stuff just let me know as I have them all on my PC I can send them to you all if you like. It's not cheating, just getting some advice on structure and stuff :smile:

PS. I'm at Trevs tonight, not going to Studio though :frown:

People giggling, as I said, he has an accent, get over it. He was interesting and yes physical was really interesting too!! Dr Antony Long I think, all about glaciation, was really good :biggrin:

Physical geography rules again!!!!

And I will PM you my email dobbs, thanks a lot. Just need to move up from ALevel standard i think.

Anyone off to Franz Ferdinand on Sunday?
Nope, but where is Dr. Zong from? We have a Swiss lecturer, but people don't laugh at his accent, just the fact that he's an incredibly talented and amusing lecturer, who makes Physics come to life for us all. Eccentric foreign lecturers are amazing.

And yes Kevin, I saw you in Trevs, though you seemed melancholy. Maybe it was me!! Heh

Did I? :confused:

I think it's just the other few times you've met me I've been rather drunk, whilst last night when you saw me...that was the first drink I'd had! I'd also just been in a long meeting for the shop committee which was...well....interesting :rolleyes: aaaaand I was facing a long walk home in the freezing cold!

Oh yeah, and after you left the fire alarm went off, meaning I had to stay around for a while to make sure the shop was closed down properly :frown:

But otherwise, I think it was just you! :p:

PS. Dr Zong is from China :biggrin:
