The photo they took of me last year has a blue background... go and poke ITS with a pointy stick.

They have updated it since we had our pics done. My replacement card has a nice white background, and a better haircut :p:

Wherever's nearest when you're drunk enough to crave them (this might just be me, but the things repulse me unless I'm drunk...).

I never knock things unless I have tried them. I've eaten the occasional kebab sober and it's actually quite nice but I suppose my kebabs are better than other people's. Just it appears to be a 'northern' dish so wanted to sample it. :smile:

Cheesy chips with jalapenos and chilli sauce would be something. I don't usually drink so you won't see me eating for being drunk.
Cheesy chips and kebab a northern dish?! I'm almost offended, lol. I'm from the south, and I almost live on them...

But you've got Jane's for them if you've been to Klute (also called Dirty's, you can guess why), or there's one on North Road opposite Studio, which apparently does better cheesy chips but I've never had them from there...

Cheesey chips are WRONG!
That's what I said before I became obsessed with them :smile:

But in Durham, Patrick's is the way to go. Kebizza, or Garlic Cheesy Bread.

Maybe I should spend less money on junk food...

Oh yeah I forgot, i was on here to ask a question....

Has anybody taken any education modules, or studied them? I was thinking of key themes in artistic culture of europe one (theres a shortlist of about 11 for my last option so this is just one of many). Has anybody had any experience of the education dept or that modules? thanks :smile:

Do it now before you talk yourself out of it... I used to despise using the phone (I still don't like it) but it's often the quickest and easiest way to get information. The call will take less than a minute, I guaruntee it.

I ended with a rhyme so you will remember it better

Emailing is worse I find, people tend to overlook any mistakes you make on the phone more easily. With the phone you have the advantage of your voice being able (a) convey other information, and (b) answer any questions on the spot. Emails on the other hand, often people read more into your words than is actually there. I loathe pressing that send button.
Also, if you email the uni, knowing them you'll already be there before you get a reply...

I hate using phones too, though. And I don't really know why.
