Don't cry mate! here, ill try and help if you want, what can't you do?

At the moment, any question involving some form of integration. My plan is to do every single revision question on integration before returning to the practice and past papers.

I don't really like beer, but I'll have a girly sol every now and then (I think it's just because you get a bit of lime tbh, the novelty). rpotter, I know what you mean about the drunk stage where you can't taste alcohol. It's the point where you think "you know, I really should stop", but then inevitably don't.

And interestingly that's also the last thing you can remember...

I'm not a big fan of beer or cider really. I'll drink Bud on occasion, but I don't really like it.
But I do have an amazing talent for downing blue WKDs...The only problem is that they're really fizzy, so I get rather ill whenever I do it

Oh its the fizziness that makes you ill, of course :wink:

Oh and its time for another of these methinks:

I don't like corona, its tastes almost metallic, san miguel is nice though.

Hmmm, they're ok, but you just cant taste the alcohol, its like drinking a normal fizzy drink...

All alcopops taste like fizzy drinks :smile:

Corona is good, if you out with a group of people, only 1£ a bottle...

There's only one way to drink those and it is called a strawpedo! Anyone unfamiliar with the term can buy me one when we all make our offers and get to Cambridge and I shall be happy to demonstrate! :wink:

Shhhhh! I want people to buy me drinks :wink:

Last time a friend and I did this was in Durham and the barwoman gave us really dodgy looks when we asked for two smirnoff ices and four long straws. Though that may have been because she was handing us over some straws that were 2 ft long (I didn't realise that they'd be QUITE that big)

(Yes it basically is that, apparently what stops you drinking it very quickly is the air going to the top of the botle, if you put two straws in then fold them over the edge then the air slides nicely out the straws and the drink goes straight down your throat)

My offer is 1,2 in any order, which is standard offer from the college I have an offer from.

tctc, I do AQA B spec for Physics. Need either an A grade in Physics or Chemistry, I have roughly the same current % in both of them (about 85% or so I think)...maybe I'm just being a bit too anxious about it.

Alcopops...haven't tried them yet....sounds a bit like a cereal.

85% is good you should be fine! i have around that for chem.. and 95% for physics, is the practicals/coursework that gets me.
Synoptic chemistry is easy? The tranisition elements can be tricky though.
Alcopops there not the best...

Funneling is also fun! Cheeky vimtos are good too, you can't taste the alcohol at all. It's a blue WKD with 2 shots of port in it - yummy but a bit lethal.

At one of my mates' 18th, the birthday boy got a bit over excited and had 2 dirty pints; if you don't know what a dirty pint is, it's half a pint of fosters and half a pint of spirit, made up of shots of vodka, gin, whiskey, Bailey's and other assorted goodies.

I think I'll stick to wine...

I know I slagged them a few pages back, but I started to quite like transition metals, mainly because a) there's not much they can ask you on them, b) d-orbitals are a bit of alright and c) pretty colours. :biggrin:
