its been incredibly helpful - thanks so much for putting the effort into it

I'll just ditto that. Tom you are a legend.

Anyway, for those around on Tuesday night I think that the ice-cream place at 8 sounds good. How many people can we expect?

If you just mean TSR members then I tried to make a list of interviewees in my sig, I'm just updating it now from the various threads people post in. In this one I saw Leviathon and Everestek(sorry if misspelt I typed IDs from memory) who I can't add because I don't know their colleges.

Also to Magreblover, mahgreblover... (great memory I have), I haven't had a letter yet!! You find out if you go one today yet?

Another also, the guide is great let's hope I'll use it!!

Do I get the honour of being added to "the list" :wink: It's Somerville that I've been assigned to. Back to being next to '2GvSAP_Snoopy'. Woo! Ha.

Congratulations, it seems the whole not having a college thing didn't mean too much then!! Are you both happy with Somerville? Updated btw :smile:

To be honest, I'm just happy to have gotten an interview. As far as I'm concerned, Oxford is Oxford and if I was lucky enough to get a place, I would live in a small cardboard box dubbed as 'College for poor Northerner' with me as the only undergrad if the alternative was not doing!

I would have been even happier with Balliol but either way is great :woo:

I'd like to join you in that ambition. We'd still have the tutorial system dang nammit!

Edit: I'm also a northerner. I'm from the North Wales borderlands (although currently living in Cardiff).

Agreed.

Reminded me of the best comedy moment in the World the Northerner part... Me and a few mates went on a trip down to St Johns with College to stay over and get a feel for the place as a whole. We were talking to a young guy in a queue waiting for some food and he just turns around in his tweed jacket and straw hat and said: "oh.. you're from the North, I see..."

Ouch.. Good memories :wink:

If there's room for a Jamaican and an ensuite to that cardboard box I'm there in a shot!!

Congrats :smile:, I updated the list again and still can't really add everestek.
Also I am just keeping the list in my sig updated instead of the ones I posted in two threads because enough pages have gone past I know people wont look at them!

Great stuff. Of course there is. This cardboard box is growing. Maybe in time we'll form our own college (in fact if we don't get in I think we should...!) :yep:

En Suite maybe pushing it. I'm starting to see a few issues with running water and cardboard, but hey, let's think outside the box...

I apologise to all those who read that for that joke..:p:

I actually laughed, what does that say about my sense of humour :eek:!! This is actually going to be a college if I ever was so lucky to get in, I would build a mini cardboard room! I think that is the eccentric physicist in me...

Oooh Leviathon re-allocated to Oriel. Lucky, it looks lovely and has such a nice name :smile:.
Eeep still waiting for my letter, can't say anything about the meet in case I jinx it but it sounds fab.

I hope it's nice, it actually wasn't a re-allocation I made an open application. The best thing about it is that if I get asked why they should let me in I can just say it's "because I'm worth it".

Sorry, couldn't resist it with Bathelie making bad jokes too.:p:

And I hope you get an interview Meta.
