I'm currently reading various history books in preparation for exams; I don't have time to read anything else right now. Come the summer however I'd like to continue with Sartre’s Nausea, which was interrupted by uni work half way through.

No snow here in central Edinburgh - nothing but a beautifully sunny spring morning. We've had no snow all winter, despite the fact that all the outlying areas seem to have had some.

My anual council tax is £1841.40, however £203.50 of that is water charges that are included in the council tax payments in Scotland. Thank god for student exemption. :D I'm dreading leaving university and having to pay that every year.

I've got two words for you: malt loaf. I practically live off the stuff during rowing training. A whole loaf contains 688 calories yet a paltry 4.8g of fat - perfect for calorie loading before training.

My hair is down to the top of my back and I still use the minis. If you're going to have heavily layered long hair, as is my preference, I'd go with the minis as they let you get into each layer properly. :)

Get the GHD mini straighteners for men's hair. One of the cheapest places I found them was here; a very good price I think from an authorised reseller. Delivery was very quick also. In my opinion GHDs are definitely worth the extra money, once you've used them nothing else comes close.

Sorry, didn't mean to seem patronising, it's just an assumption I couldn't help but draw from the question. Why not just tell her this then? If it's been agreed as being nothing serious breaking it off shouldn't be a big deal. However, even if it is just a bit of fun, I'd still advocate...

I agree completely, and with the others who have expressed this same view. Dumping someone, in my opinion, by any medium other than face to face is really classless, disrespectful and juvenile. Regarding the original post, I’m assuming here, correctly or not, from your question that this is...

I don't think it's possible to make such a sweeping statement. I'm not singling you out here; this relates to everyone who has replied and argued that living away from home is going to affect your academic work as you'll be going out on the lash at every opportunity. In my opinion, this is...

I moved 300 miles away from home to go to Edinburgh, and I think I made the right decision. In my first year I made a lot of friends through living in a university apartment, something I think people who live at home while studying at university really miss out on. The people I lived with in my...

Strangely enough, I recently had to study the loss of case in the history of English, and as a result I certainly would not rule out the eventual disappearance of the genitive and thus the disappearance of apostrophes. The increasing tendency these days to ignore the apostrophes in the genitive...

There are indeed people who do care. :p I, along with several others I've noticed, tend to bring up the issue of the "Member's Market [sic]" whenever one of these grammar threads is about, but nothing is ever done about it. Regarding "Yates's", it is correct provided that the wine lodge is...

Frankly, I don't understand why anyone above the age of about 15, which I assume the majority of this board to be, wouldn't be able to cook.

I like it. :) I didn't recognise that mach condensor - looks great painted black, so does the desuperheater. Also loving the evap enclosure. Watch out for the cold bug on that Winchester by the way. Let us know how it gets on.

Looks very nice indeed. :D What're the specs of the unit?

I think that you have answered your own question with that statement; without trust a long distance relationship is not going to work. In my experience long distance relationships rarely survive, and the ones that do require a lot of work. I've been involved with people for a long period of...

At rather humorous side note to this is that the list of possible side effects of Xanax includes "loss of interest in sex." http://www.drugs.com/xanax.html

It's (or, at least, it was when I applied two years ago) 120 points for an A at A2 and 100 for a B.

I think he's applied for those courses having already attained the points, thus the offer is unconditional.

I have a Natwest student account and my Maestro debit card works everywhere I've travelled. I tend to use my Master Card more frequently though, but you can get one of those on Natwest's student credit card, which you can even apply for online, if you want another card.
