I know, I don't really understand either. Mind you that happens to me as soon as anyone puts a £ infront of a number lol.

Thanks nooni! I quit before my prelims as well, brilliant timing :rolleyes:

Because prices are rocketing, so you could make a lot of money, in theory.

But what do you do with it? You just buy it...and then what? Is anyone allowed to buy it?

I have stopped myself all day from going on msn so that i can revise...found other distractions so am doing stuff now. TSR is my background to revision..how sad.
Ooo a game sounds good, i am up for anything.

Drink it most probably
Hang on to it as prices rise, then sell it off at a profit.

lol.
umm, excuse my ignorance of profit making but how much crude oil does a teenager have to buy to actualy make a profit worth all the hassle for ?
And where would it be stored, in his room?
I am missing something:redface:

I think this is secretly the sort of stuff discussed in Supervisions (?).

well that's what we do.

The funniest thing in a super has to be the time where one of my friends was going on for about a minute, and the super was looking blankly over my friend's shoulder. We thought he was listening but after my friend finished the super said "I'm sorry, but is that child *points to massive oil painting on the wall* actually having a piss on the fat naked man?"

He was:p:

Funny thing was that it was a renal physiology supervision...

I'm bored. Should go to bed really but I'm not tired...

*slowly turning into rpotter*

I actually did some revision today! (Kinetics is so much fun :rolleyes: )
I'm bored too.. Keep thinking about going to bed but then finding random posts to read.
Bah.

I am bored too. :frown:
I'm not only bored now, but really really hungry... And there's no food in the house except a Dairy Milk variety park that I seem to be slowly munching my way through.

I should sleep. It's nearly 2.30 here.

Unless there is a time difference between london and lancashire :rolleyes: i am guessing your not in England. Where are you my dear?

Am going to sleep. Night.
Oh god... I *may* have got hideously drunk on cocktails last night and told a student I was at Oxford :eek:

To be fair the first question he asked me was 'what college are you at?' and instead of going 'Oh no, actually I'm doing my A-Levels this year and then hopefully going to Cambridge' the correct answer was apparently 'Oriel.' And then he gave me some champagne so I had to stay and have a long conversation about what I study (medicine), what year I was in (first), when my collections finished (Friday), and where I was from (errr.... Cambridge, actually....)

Then I pulled him which is very unlike me and now I'm all embarrassed and hungover :redface:

LOL! Was he at Oxford? I'm hungover as well, and just had an hour with my maths tutor :frown: I was not pleased to be me when I woke up this morning.

So you live in Oxford and are going to Cambridge in October, but he thought you live in Cambridge and are studying at Oxford? Confusing.

Oh well, at least you pulled! :wink:

Yeah.. I'm in Rome, not Lancashire at the moment. Probably should clear that one up.. :p:

That's the one. Just saw all the friends I was out with last night (my hockey team, they're all about 30) and got the piss ripped out of me for 2 hours.
Yeah, he was a PPE student at my mum's old college... Incestuous :eek:

Friendlyneutron: totally read that wrong and thought you had got drunk with your maths tutor. I was thinking he/she sounded very cool! I thought you Scots were supposed to be living a 'monastic lifestyle'... you could jeopardise your entire future you know young lady... :wink:

haha, well I'll have you know that the reason for my inebriation was in celebration of finishing studying for the day, but of course I took it a bit too far lol. Organic chem'll do that to you... :frown: bastards. I'm sure the mum's college thing is crossing a boundary somewhere, I can't quite put my finger on it though lol.
