What type of things is everyone buying for university? Still haven't bought anything besides a laptop at the moment :s-smilie:


All the bed stuff, kitchen stuff, the usual. Lancaster have a list in their freshers' guide if you are completely stuck.

I know this message is 2 weeks old but high 5 about Cheshire :ahee: I'm guessing you're more north than me because it takes me 1 hour 15 mins to get to Manchester :colondollar:


A high five from me too!

I'm from central Cheshire, but my dad is quite a fast driver when he's on the motorway. :biggrin:

ahhh that might be why my step-dad is very slow :lol: and you must be quite close to me then, since my town is nearish there.

Hahaha, i was thinking that it'd be a strange move to keep your old revision notes for your kids :lol: Right, keeping the dolls is a lot more normal, but they'll be falling apart by that time... they might even be worth a lot by then! Yeah, i can see how doing the same topic again could be kinda irritating, then again you would have that advantage of already being a bit aware of all the happenings :') Why does everyone else seem to have gone on some brilliant college trip?! The best i got was a trip to the local fair for 'physics revision' :tongue:


I might be strange, but I'm not that strange...maaaaybe :wink: Yeah probably but ah well, its a nice thought! I have some teddies that used to be my mum's though, so it works sometimes! :smile: Its just irritating because there are so many interesting parts of history to do, why do we have to do the same ones again! Haha :') Yeah it was pretty good! Only twelve of us went though, so it wasnt that big a trip really :') Optional :') That's what you get for doing boring subjects like physics :wink:

I go on my bike rides with friends too, we usually go in and out of Wales about six times because of the cycle path's shape! :biggrin:

:lol: We only ever went the once since it took to long to get there with no breaks. We ended up just staying near the Chester area... I don't know but when I was young I always thought it was cool that we are able to bike to Wales because not that many people can.:colondollar:

:biggrin: I still find it cool!

Are you taking your bike to uni? In trying to cycle even more now to try and get used to it for when I cycle in to Lancaster city centre.

no :frown: it broke during a paper round when I was 16 and since then my love for riding has gone, it made me lose my paper round as well :unimpressed:

Oh god, County seems to be full of some... Characters. :tongue: Awwh, that's quite adorable! You'd be carrying on a tradition :smile: Maybe it's kind of like in physics when we redid stuff because they'd initially simplified it for the syllabus? But still, what an awesome trip to have been on - i'd have loved to have gone to russia, i might have even taken History just for that :') OUCH! And this from the history geek? :wink: We were meant to go to an observatory near the border, but our teacher forgot to ring them up to book it!

I know what you mean, i've been getting a few replies from applications i made in may :rolleyes: Yeah, i think we're pretty much all hoping to get some means of extra cash - if you're lucky, you might even get a part time at one of the campus shops and stuff! Although, competition might be pretty fierce with how lazy most of us are.

I am ashamed :ashamed2: I used to go running in my area, but a combination of early mornings and passing by people i knew deterred me. I much prefer doing manlycompetitive sports like football and badminton, but i definitely want to check new stuff out too... like archery or something :biggrin:
:tongue:


I can't imagine how many application they would get if it was a shop on campus probably a few thousand :P

Exactly why I don't want to run at home, I'm hoping on campus everyone will be in bed but I won't know everyone any way so it's fine :P

badminton manly? I do like badminton no idea what the rules are though I just hit it :smile:
I was thinking of archery too it seems quite a cool thing to try.

Hahaha quite! I'm sure it'll be great fun :wink: Yeah :smile: Well yeah it was abit more detail, and the questions were different and stuff like that, but we'd still done like 80% of the content before :') Yeah Russia was pretty amazing, would definitely say it was a special trip! Haha history's fun :wink: ahaha that musta been annoying! I actually went on quite a few trips in sixth form, because I did Geology, so we had a residential field trip each year, then a few day trips as well for coursework etc :') they weren't quite so fun though... :')

And half of them would just be me using different names to try up my chances!
In the end, we both know that everybody will be in bed, including yourself :tongue:
I usually get some sort of heckle when i mention badminton, so i try to pre-empt the joke about it being a bit effeminate compared to the stereotypical man sports like rugby.
Yeah, i'm sure lots of people will be attracted to things like archery, fencing and stuff, just because they're a bit unusual... and you can pretend to be robin hood or something while doing them :biggrin:

Well i hope you checked the course structure before applying, i'd laugh if you found out you were doing a lot of Russia topics again :tongue: He made up for it by being a physics teacher who can do magic tricks... you wouldn't believe the amounts of times he made me question reality without even using his physics expertise - so i'd be hard done by having to choose between russia and magic :lol:
Hahaha, as someone who stayed at college for most of my courses (I mean, you can't really go anywhere for maths, can you?), i'm extremely jealous! I would happily have tagged along on geology trips - i love all types of rock(s)! :')

Sorry to jump in on your guyses conversation, but I always see badminton as one of those sports that isn't specific to a gender :tongue: heck even my grandma plays with me sometimes.

Just such an overall fun and enjoyable sport :smile:

I would also say this :wink: and at school all the males in my year loved it and played it after school it except for football I think it was the second most popular sport with males at my school.
