That kind of thing you just report and leave alone.

Perhaps they don't have one.

Do you mean:
- To defer an application
- To apply for a deferred place
- To defer an existing offer

I'm pretty sure the last one is possible, but I have no idea about the middle one.

Ah yes, I should have been clearer; I meant is it possible to apply for a deferred place.

Am interested in this as well - and if so, when would you be considered for funding?


Due to the competitive nature of funding I'm inclined to believe that deferral might be a disadvantage. In this regard I may well have to apply in the following cycle ...

A girl in Peterhouse just switched from Theology to SPS, and the first thing I saw on her facebook wall was a random friend commenting "Hey what's all this rubbish about you switching to SPS" :hmpf:

I'm not exactly sure. In a sense there are skills and interests that I want to pursue before specializing further, before hammering the doors closed behind me. I've been considering film school for a long time, while I want to gain formal transcription accreditation. There are other ideas I have, such as studying the practicalities of ceramics as a craft (I have the intellectual baggage, I want to see what I've learned in practice). A couple of friends are both moving back to London next year, one working as a social worker and the other just jobbing around between university and graduate study, so we'd intended to live together for a time. It's going to be down and out in London, one last time.

How lame. If you really must set off the alarm on purpose, why not do something extraordinary like those Kings' students last year who put traffic cones on the hob and then turned it on?*

*Disclaimer: Of course I fiercely disapprove of doing things like that, but it was still kind of funny when you read about it on Varsity's front page.

Fair enough. I don't want to finish my PhD any later than the 28yrs of age I'm currently due to complete it at :rolleyes:

Lamest I heard was this person who went off to get pasta while leaving the hob on and when he came back the "Do Not Leave Hob On Unattended" sign above the stove was on fire. The irony :rolleyes:

Actually I think I may have heard it from someone in college before. On the note of last night I wonder how TWW felt this morning?

What happened last night?

I know but I think they found it funny that it got 90 freshers up at that time of the morning.

The funniest I heard so far was someone in another building decided to microwave sausages without piercing them for 25mins. His friend ran in and stopped it after 12mins and told him that they were burnt. The person then went back in and turned it on for the remaining time. The sausages exploded in the microwave and he then opened up the microwave door and the corridor door for the fire alarm to go off.

And no, he wasn't purposely trying to make the fire alarm go off :rofl:

Someone in my first year house set off the fire alarm by trying to dry a pair of wet socks in the microwave :shifty:

TWW got very drunk at Clare. I was just with him (and some other SPSers) in Slug and Lettuce and he told me he was hungover this morning :p:

Our fire alarm had a fault (I think) earlier today. It went off 4 times in the space of about 25 minutes.

That's stupid and gross.

On another note, I did my laundry today and left a note on the machine saying that if I wouldn't be back and someone needed to get my stuff out of the machine, could they please put it in the large blue suitcase right next to it.
I came back an hour later to find that whoever it was had thrown the note on the floor, together with all my clothes. :mad:
