Um so my college hasn't responded to me about linen so I'm not sure if they have a pack for me or not. Anyway, in a worst case scenario, where's the closest place to Trevs to buy emergency bed linen/pillows?

If you've filled in the bed linen pack form and sent it to Trevs then one will be ready for you :smile:

question regarding sports. if you decided to do sport for your college - lets say football do you wear what ever sport kit you want or do you have a certain kit that you are given or buy. i assume you have a kit you wear for 1st and 2nd team games against other colleges but what about those non teamers.

Some colleges have 1 or 2 football teams, some have 5 or 6. If you play in a team against another college, you will have to wear your team's colour at least. Most colleges will do a kit order in first term so you will get the official kit, but there are nothing stating that you MUST wear the kit, you just have to wear the colour.

For training you can wear whatever you want.

some have 5 or 6.

I'm not sure Mildert E could be described as 'football' as such.

EXCUSE ME! I played for Mildert E last year, we finished 3rd in our league having won 4 of our opening 5 games, and beating Cuths C and Staff A in the cup before losing to Hild Bede A, who were about half made up of uni players! We lost a couple of games late on so missed out on promotion, but we had a great season!

Hopefully someone who's lived there can give you a better answer, but most colleges have bedboxes I believe where you can lock stuff, and if no one is using your room over christmas you might be able to leave your room as it is.

Both will be fine. College probably suggest not to connect lots of things to the same plug, but I don't know what else you're meant to do nowadays! So bring whatever you've got and don't worry about it.

What is it with Civil Engineers and playing for Mildert E? Would you like to talk me through your cup exit to Cuths A? :p:

(unless that was Mildert F, I forget).

It's because all the Civil Engineers know it's the best team. I'm not sure who the Fs lost to, but I know Jinksy put in a hell of a performance in goal.

We lost to Hild Bede A, 9-0 I think the final score was, so we kept it in single figures. We held out for around 20 minutes though, but we made lots of silly mistakes which cost us probably 4 of the goals.

I used to live with Marek Kubik and Mal Hudson and George Warshaw is my college son, thus is my E Team relationship intertwined.
Didn't they beat their previous oppo 13-0 or something mental?

Sounds like a pretty awesome house you had last year then!

Yeh I remember thinking that if we kept them to single figures then that'd be the best anyone had done against them.

During my time in London I used a vertical 10-way socket (5 on each side as you can't go beyond 8 for obvious reasons). It's very handy for my room and I have my own mini-national grid.

Use the plugs in your room. Last year I had 10 sockets scattered around the place.

It's not the same for everyone! I only had 2 in my first year I think.

Hmm, maybe you had an older room then. Aidan's has been pretty recently refitted.

Has / will the Waitrose be replaced by a Tesco in the centre? I seem to remember reading it here some time ago.

All I know is Waitrose is going (another liberal victory :biggrin:

). The rahs can still get their food from M&S though.
