The Cambridge Chat Thread

I was there, yeah. If you're at the TSR meet I dare say we'll recognise one another now. I was the male violinist with a beard stood next-ish to Chess Piece Face (at least, I didn't see any other lefty guitarrists) in the second half, but I didn't say anything because I figured it'd make more sense to talk on Sunday. Really enjoyed it. I realise it was a slooow speed session tonight compared to what you might normally do, but still. It was just so good to be in a group that size again. And I could listen to our glorious leader talk for hours on end. I'm having so many accentsquees around college as well. It was kind of also nice to go to a Real World pub rather than be in College, but it also seemed strange actually having to pay normal prices. liek omg. It was then that it struck me just how much wine college have provided me this week.

It's not really like that, if they put you on at 4am or 5am (normal for Ceilidh) you don't get to enjoy the ball because you have to prepare and not get drunk/worn out before you can perform. It's a hard life performing at balls!

Yes, but it's a bit ticklish. We have a piano in the music room but we have no stage piano (although we could get something without too much trouble). We have no piano part, so you'll have to vamp from the chords. We generally get a few pianists sign up and they don't turn up.

i was looking through economics part I tripos papers today and my inability to even understand most of the questions was upsetting.

Why are physics A, physics B and maths not scheduled in a 3-hour block with one after the other on the same day? It would surely be the most sensible thing to do, since it's probably the most common combination of 1B natsci options. As it is, they're at 9, 11 and 12, leaving an annoying gap.

Come to Clare Comedy (in Cellars) on Sunday night. Its supposed to be one of the best comedy nights in Cambridge. James and I are doing sound and light, and one of my good friends (PhD Student at Clare) is now running it. If anyone wants to do stand-up in the future he's always looking for new people.

I hate comedy. Thought you knew

Do we need to do anything to get our student loan? I seem to remember last year taking the letter from student finance with the barcode on to be scanned.

Are you doing Physics A this year, then? I can't remember what you decided on in the end.

Interesting that you enjoy reading Pratchett and things but don't like comedy though. Is it just stand-up you don't like?

Aaargh, why is every single copy of Rousseau's 'The Discourses & Other Early Political Writings' (ed: V. Gourevitch) out of every single library in existence?!
