I am going to get Mel to make a film about the day I expelled the Scots from this thread. :wink:


Do you see this as being 'Mad Shiny', 'What Shiny Wants' or 'The Passion of Shiny'?

You're fighting a losing battle - there's one of you and several of us :biggrin:

It's called the Saltire. *kuh* *kuh*

See the coalition is growing already. :smile:

Sure I couldn't tempt you with 'Forever Shiny'? You get to romp with Jamie Lee Shiny.

I think Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the least attractive women in the world - she looks like a bloke! :eek:

How about Shiny Signs? I could be a troubled man who has lost his faith and and has to fight the Scottish aliens! :smile:

Not to me she isn't.

Ahh, THAT's what it's called! :tongue:

Er... hate to interrupt the forming of such a frankly terrifying coalition (she had gender issues apparently, born with too much testosterone), but I'd like to disagree with Shiny's belief in Scottish football skills. We have none. And we never will. But this is okay, because we can still beat England.

Ow! I *hated* the Beveridge Report even at S Grade. Ditto here - I only did Physics because nothing could bring me to study anything as nationalist as "Northern Britain from the Romans to the year 1000" - it's archaeology. Just archaeology.


Ooh, randomer on AdvH Physics, but how long was your project/investigation-thing? Apparently my 67-pages-long one (assisted by having an Appendix the size of the 5th Harry Potter book) was a bit over-enthusiastic. This was commented on by a comrade who submitted 10 hand-written pages..

I cut out 1/3 of mine as it was too big, after that it came to 34 pages, about 4700 words. My chemistry one was about the same length.

I cut mine too - it weighed in at about thirty pages and I did a "sample page" of the 150-plus page long appendix of my results from PASCO :smile:

Whoa, you took a lot of results! Pasco is VERY useful.

What did you do your investigation on? My old biology teacher had a freebie demonstration "bioreactor" (basically a container with a couple paddles and a motor) kicking around, so I wrapped a coil round it, stuck a couple copper rods in it, filled it with wallpaper paste (originally I used mercury, the school were surprisingly unworried about giving me beakerfulls of it) and spun it around, looking for eddy currents between the pieces of copper. Looking for references I couldn't really find anything on eddy currents in a spinning liquid in a magnetic field, but I did manage to tie most of it down to concepts within the course such as Lenz's law.
Woah, how much time did you people spend on your investigations?! My bio and chem ones were about 2,300 (not including references, tables, contents, etc) and roughly 16 pages each.

Scotland might gets its own Maradona or Pele one day :frown:

Yeah, someone to go into rehab :s-smilie: :rolleyes:

I am currently so glad I did not take AH Physics after reading this thread :eek: . I had to give my teacher the "I need other subjects for uni" speech when he tried to persuade me to change my options.

And to Sophetta, I think I want to do Social and Political Sciences at Cambridge, but I also really like computer programming :biggrin:

I'm quite impressed with the number of Scots here :smile: I used to think Faboba and I were the only ones :biggrin:

I started my physics and chemistry ones in January/Febrary but worked pretty slowly, thinking I had loads of time left. Only started the reports a week and a half before they were due, and they came to about 4500-5000 words each. I was up till 1.30am and up again at 6am on the morning they were due finishing them off!

We spent three straight weeks at the end of the course on Physics; I didn't attend for all of it. Then we had the Easter hols to write them up (well, the last two days... :smile:)

PASCO *is* useful; I did similar experiments a lot of times.

We were given a list of stuff we could do - I did the coefficient of friction, because it overlapped with Applied Maths. It was pretty boring until the writeup, which I did actually enjoy :smile:
