Haven't been on this thread before, but hello all :smile:

Offer for English myself!

Had a dream last night that my accommodation in Oxford was a scary Gothic mansion, with rats running around and rain forcing the ceiling to cave in! Then the one-armed butler ominously entered my room and told me to vacate the premises and leave the university.

I hope this doesn't happen.

Oh ****, you got me.

And anyway bro, why all the caps lock, looks like you're creating a storm in one. :wink:

Ok end of lame joke.

*Scrabbles around for appropriate tea related joke...*

Nope, I can't find one to throw back at you.

Have to say, it was a bit of a rookie error accusing someone of being too common with their tea tastes and not using a teapot yourself :p:

I do make it in a cup at work, for speed's sake, but it's nowhere near as good.

Hi guys, just a reminder for exam season that discussion of Edexcel and CIE exams isn't allowed until a certain amount of time has passed after the exam :smile:

Take a look here for the details. Good luck all! :smile:

A friend (current at Brasenose) just told me that this was a minor incident that happened over a year ago! Apparently, Daily Mail wrote to the entire JCR Committee to get comments..

I shall wear my pyjamas to breakfast if I so wish. :pierre:

Although I'd have to buy some first, can't remember the last time I wore pyjamas.... :erm:

I wear pyjamas for 'lounging', i.e. when hanging around the house because I hate wearing clothes, though I never wear them to sleep :pierre:

I will flout any such ban if one is ever imposed, even if it does make me 'slovenly' :colonhash:

Fair enough. If I desire to be 'slovenly' I just hang in trackies/a pair of shorts that I find comfortable. Who does wear pyjamas to sleep...? :holmes:

LMH rooms are all single -
from their website
'All rooms are single study bedrooms with central heating, and many have en-suite facilities. All rooms have broadband internet connection, via the College's ethernet.'
