Durham Applicants 2008 Thread

Is it him? All I can think of when I hear his name is him going off at his kitchen staff. "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING? NO, NO NOT THAT MUCH SAUCE!" :rolleyes:

Love the part of "something else, something else". That's what probably made the dish. Lol.

I believe that a pinch of 'something else, something else' goes a long way in any meal haha. I think it is Ramsay. Gordan ******* Ramsay. He really does use that word WAY too much, he needs to expand his swearing vocabulary. I think id be funny if his wife made him stop swearing to stop giving a bad impression to his children or something, nad had to say something in replace of it on TV.

'WHAT THE FUDGE ARE YOU DOING? NO, NO NOT THAT MUCH SAUCE YOU FUDGING IDIOT'

Actually you may be right nicola, but I know more about Ramsay than Oliver. My Dad throws things at the screen when Jamie Oliver comes on :rolleyes:

I've always wanted to stay in a farm for awhile! Look at me inviting myself over already. :wink:

It just seems like such a fun thing to do. Although, I can see why if done everyday it can become tiring. Bronte novels rock by the way.

I refuse to carry the swan cages. Remember this ninja has an irrational fear of birds. Especially huge freaky birds that flap around. But they would be excellent tools in our plan.

It does get annoying sometime. Becuase it's so remote I can't just 'go out', I depend on my parents for lifts etc and I miss a good close-by cinema! But I do love it, I'll definitely miss it when Im at uni. Its not like I do much work on the farm but I enjoy the stuff that I do, usually, unless it involves killing things/mucking out pigs....those two things aren't much fun. And anything when its raining. :rolleyes:

We could get big long hooks and attach them to the top of the cages, then carry them in front of us like flag holders. Or at least the ones who are not afriad of them can, you can carry the arsenic instead de.novo!

Fudge, looool ! It reminds me of when I was taking my Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English and the guy that interviewed me was like "Ooooh, shhhh - sugar !" ^^

That I can do! Carrying the arsenic. And once you ascertain that I am not a crazy stalker, I shall be a wonderful houseguest at your delightful farm. :biggrin:

I won't kill anything though. Doesn't sound too pleasant with all that blood.

I fear that they may chase me! But if you can get them all into the cages, I'm up for it!

Haha don't worry, you won't be asked to kill anything. I am rarely asked to kill anything, just to help when things go wrong! Which makes me sound weird and bloodthirsty but I swear Im not! :smile:

The ducks would be hard to catch, they're used to little kids/drunk people running after them shouting 'hear duckie duckie' so that will be hard. Very hard to take a bird unawares what with their pretty much 360 vision and their speed. And the flying, of course, although ducks rarely get off the ground because they're too full of soggy bread!

I'll catch them. I'm a penguin so they'll never suspect a thing :biggrin:

That would be good! Or you could go a few days beforehand, get to know them, make yourself a part of their community, tell them you're a strange cousin from the city if any of them ask why you look funny. This will lull them into a false sense security and then you can grab them!

See, you can tell that I spent most of my teenage-hood trying to find ways of catching annoyingly stupid chickens that don't want to move from one pen to another. I could write a BOOk on catching various farm animals haha.

Yes i'm sure thats what you were doing :laugh:

Awww, well i'm sure you'll be getting a + rep off me for being the only Durham thread person to talk to me when i'm bored (even if you're not applying there :wink:

) Nope don't think i'll be trying Cam again, Durham is fine by me :biggrin:

even better than fine, i think the whole going to Cam thing was a bit of a dream life that i'd never actually be comfortable with tbh, but it was fun to dream while it lasted anyway.

Nope not back to school until 8th April :smile:

and i do English Lit, History, Spanish and English Language, how about you?

Btw were the warnings from that Bristol + Durham / Oxbridge applicants thread!? I think i may have seen you on that, i couldn't even be bothered trying to argue with people, they didn't make any sense :rolleyes:

Good. And no it doesn't make you sound bloodthirsty or anything. But when you say 'help when things go wrong' I have extremely strong, weird thoughts that run through my head. :eek:

And no I refuse to chase ducks. They probably won't run away. Instead they will chase me. Bird fear. I'll probably never get over it. And Durham ducks are probably used to drunks more than kiddies.

My Literature teacher introduced Donne with the poem "The Flea". Lol.
