St Aidans freshers!

Yes they do do Guinness, though why you would want to drink it...

"Sacrilege! How dare you sir? Pistols at dawn I say..."

Actually hang on, it's Irish, why am I defending it like that? Ok, try again:

"Begorra begorra jeebus, don't insult de Guinness! A hey de diddly diddly doo."

Ah, my grandma must be so proud...

Guinness and black is alright I guess. And when they drop a shot in it and you gotta down it.

Apart from that, get me a decent pint of cider anyday!

ooooo arrrrrr

Ah, a cider girl. Well as long as you're drinking proper cider and not White Lightning or any of that crap. You can still be glad you're not just a lager lout - by that I mean someone who only drinks lager.

A cider GIRL

My apologies, I should really pay more attention to those handy gender symbols. And of course I didn't doubt that it would be proper cider - just had to ask :wink:

Thanks for the extended price list sarah - are you at college or do you just have an obscenely good memory for drink prices?

i work in the bar!!

Dammit sarah, you know your bar!

Ah fair enough. What's the pay/hours like?

last year i was on the rota for 3 shifts a term (all the freshers were asked to email the bar man if they wanted to work so there were about 30 people doing it!! if people can't make the shifts they were given they swapped them or gave them away so you can work more by taking other peoples shifts.) each shift was from 7 or 7:30 til half 11ish and the pay is something like £5.26 an hour (i can't remember exactly what it was). in the summer the bars open all afternoon too so more shifts through that

new bar man might run it differently though, i'm not sure what he's doing

going up on friday to work for a week before freshers week, hopefully it won't be too quiet!

liz - do you know when we get our college children?! all of my friends seem to have them already and i need to write my letter in the next two days. i hope she hasn't forgotten about me

Reply 52

You should've got an email about it. Have you checked? Spoke to beks last night and she said we should all get them by today, so check your webmail.

If you sent an email she shouldn't of forgot.

Reply 53

And, purely cos I can't remember that far back, what do we have to bring to college in the way of bed linen?!

Reply 54

i sent an email to her after helen's email about it, and emailed her a few days ago to check she didn't forget me and still havent got an email. i've been checking webmail like 5times a day for the last week for updates on bar stuff and for college parent stuff (hence i'm on this so much!) to give me breaks from packing! :frown:

bring a duvet cover and a better pillow!! ghetto gets duvet and 2 pillows, most of the rest of college also gets a very dodgy duvet cover!

Reply 55

Ah well, she may let you know later today or tomorrow then. Won't have forgotten. Cheers for the usefull info on bed linen!

Reply 56

A cider GIRL, and of course I only drink proper cider! Like a proper west-country girl should!

Westcountry!! :cool:

My favourite cider is Thatcher's Katy.

But I'm more of a Real Ale drinker as many on here know.
