Don't post stuff likie this during term time. :p: I'm having trouble stopping playing despite being 6-2 up (I'm sure most people here can beat that).
Is it bad that the cat reminds me of Gollum? I think the LOTR marathon I went to the other day is messing me up. :s

Are most of them impossible, or am I just missing something, though?
another random question (but not THAT random XD)
does anybody know if TSA at jesus college is computer-based or paper-based?

*i'll keep my finger crossed...PAPER FTW!*

thanks for quoting me when you answer my questions :biggrin:

Can't speak for Jesus specifically but they're usually computer based - you get sent to a computer room for it.

Most/all of them are possible, given the right strategy.

I'm not succeeding 100% of the time, but my instinct is that it's always possible -- I've made an identifiable mistake each time I've lost. Try encircling as large an area as possible with a dotted line. When the cat gets to the edge you can fill in the gaps faster than it can move. Or you can try a main enclosure with a false escape route that can easily be blocked. This is more difficult, but you get plenty of time when it has to come back the way it went.

Nope, computer, sorry.

:s-smilie: computer... are we allowed a piece of paper for notes at least?

Great, Darwin won't tell me where I'm living


Cambridge does have more homeless people than the national average.

At least you won't feel out of place.

:p:
I registered with the Cambridge Careers Service the other day. I want to get started with all that stuff relatively early; my logic is that the time at Cam always seems to go so quickly, it'll be relevant before I know it...

I've been majorly busy with certain things which I'm sure I'll tell you all about at the next meet


If you don't leave after ten minutes :p:

Woooo, back in just over a fortnight! :biggrin: *dances*


While I feel the same, I still need to correct my biorhythms and sleeping pattern before I return (which for large sections of this holiday managed to become a reversed day/night cycle).
I just got two returns from March (somewhere in the Fenland wastes, where we're having out boat fixed) to Exeter (where we are staying for the week) for £90. If i'd not shopped around and gone to Megatrain etc, it would have cost £188. Not bad. The best deal was that I got two singles from Exeter to London for £7!

Why is it then, that getting to London for the weekend (in October) is going to cost us £66 for the two of us? GRRR :frown:

I'm pretty sure you are, but I don't remember.

Came here, got so tired of all these anti-Oxbridge comments in the investment banking forum....:mad:

I vow not to step (virtual) foot in that forum. :yes:

When is everyone coming back to Cambridge? Is the TESCO in town ready?

27th for me (less than two weeks now :woo:), and there's going to be a Tesco in town? That's news to me.

There was a big fuss over a supermarket being built in Mill Road - is that the Tesco?

(though there's a huge one just a little way along the river from all the boathouses etc, already)

I believe so; I remember reading about it on those Mill Road resident's fliers that came through my letterbox last year ... I'll be thirty seconds from Sainsbury's this coming year anyway, so I doubt that it'll affect me.
