University of Glasgow blether thread

I knew that would happen.

I was just wondering if they gave some important info for foreigners to know about the U.K. (law, customs, how to make sure you don't offend the Scots etc.) or something like that.

My advisor has changed No idea why tho because my last one was the course coordinator for my degree and this one is more into Cell Signalling than Genetics

Any one else's change?

Yes. I'm gutted, I <3 Chris Finlay

Did you have Kevin or Joe before? Who is it now? I've never even heard of mine before

Also, it's illegal to drink in the streets and parks and the way to call over a waiter or policeman is to extend your index and middle finger in a V shape with the palm turned to you and move the fingers back and forth.

Kevin I'm going to miss his wee cup covered in flies. I've got Shireen Davies now.
Who have you got?

Shireen Davies

I had her for one lecture in Reproduction last year. She says she doesn't get asked to lecture much......

Promising!

I've also just got landed with shireen davies!
I want it noted that when she "signed" an email reply to me, she spelled her own name wrong.

Excellent!

I may continue to email Finlay and hope nobody's told him he's not my advisor any more.

I hope she doesn't read this forum

Ah the SNP, never short of bribery money.

Not gonna lie, Alex and friends have seriously moved up in my estimations. This is such good news, means I don't have to get a job at uni this year to fund next summer's activities. But I'll still never vote SNP, so I win.

Also, I can't believe that reading this thread is the first I've heard of this change. It's the kind of thing I thought would have made more of a splash in the news, on Facebook etc.

I have a book of his that he lent me, I will go to his office and return it and tell him I am displeased. If she is terrible then we can complain about her together, Heather also has her. We can form a gang.

Take it everyone is getting dumped with her then It doesnt tell me where her office is. Does she have one?

It actually looks like it! Every single person I know in genetics has her now! And I know, for this meeting with her that "must happen on 5th September" it just says she's in the Davidson building, not where inside the building. Also I was annoyed at having to fill out a doodle poll for a meeting which was sent to us by some other woman (her secretary?) I find that type of behaviour makes advisers unapproachable. My old one was all for you just dropping in when you needed a chat, no formalities.

Hmm. Think ill send her an email to see if ive to go see her since you said the meetings have to be done on the 5th

If it seems too good to be true it probably is, could well be a hoax.
