Town Hall and Symphony Hall occasionally have some good classical concerts, if that's your bag.
And there's a big yellow vintage clothing shop in Digbeth, if you're interested.
Also go see the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (they have a fab tea room), but be aware that exposure to excessive Pre-Raphaelitism can cause nausea and irritation

Every gallery that isn't in London seems to be packed with pre-raphelite stuff. Tully House Gallery in Carlisle is the same. In Italy every local gallery has its own amazing works from the 15th century and stuff.

Hey GOGs... looks like I might be a UCL GOG next autumn... my supervisor has promised introductions and recommendations if I want them
I'm glad things are looking up for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for that list of funding places, although alas, I am apparently far too middle class to qualify for anything.

Yeah, it was already my emergency stash so now I have empty supplies. The only thing I have left is bloody white lightning but I can't consider it until there is no liquid left in the world, and that includes my own piss. And my Dad would kill me if I broke into his speckled hen supplies. But, desperate times...

We always say that my twin brother looks like the hobgoblin, and in fact whenever we go into pubs that serve it he asks for a free point on the basis that he's advertising it, but he's yet to get one. This is normally followed by one of us saying "A frightful hobgoblin stalks through Europe. This is the hobgoblin of Reuben."

My brother has applied for a "hardship grant" from Sheffield. This has pissed me off because those grants are supposed to be for people who need the money, not who spend everything they have on booze, clothes and DVDs and then lie on the form. He has compounded my anger by wearing a sleeveless t-shirt in seriousness. How am I related to this person? I wish he's **** off back to Sheffield and stay there. He treats home like a hotel.Reply 9930

Tch, you are a bad arty type Becca. The Baltic is especially pimp.

Oh, do you know the city well? I'm going to be living in Hockley/Jewellery Quarter, know anything good to do there?
The Jewellery Quarter is gorgeous, seriously. St Paul's Square is one of my favourite bits of Birmingham.

On the subject of Brothers, your bro has a bit of a Ross Noble vibe going on, Jacob.

It's my father's 50th birthday today and hence he forgot to give me any work to do in the office today, so I'm essentially being paid to sit here in case the phone rings and translate Anglo-Saxon metrical charms. If only real life were like this

They're weird Old English spells for things like making your crops grow or finding your lost cattle. Quite good fun

If you want restaurant recommendations, I'm your girl - I eat like a horse.
TBH I probably won't come across any Sheffielders unless they're in my department or a postgrad (since I'm commuting in from Brum), so hopefully I'll be spared the sleeveless wonder

Commuting from Brum, that's dedication! Whereabouts in Brum do you live? Obviously not specifically, but which area? (I'm going to stalk you
)Reply 9939
Ick - Commuting - that's why I didn't take up a studentship in Bournemouth - 3 hours each way!!!! 6 hours when I could be (playing with the kids) doing something more interesting
