A polite suggestion FAO BigStan

After i've finished term at the end of this week i'll put my mind to the folding competition and perhaps start a thread to discuss it.
I was thinking i would probably be happy to donate £5 via paypal if someone else can deal with buying some prizes and paying for and dealing with postage to the winners. Even something like a set of cathodes would do as a first prize.

Sorry, been in Oxford (interview!) went fine I think, not sure, impossible to tell really. Just gotta wait now

Good luck with that.

We seem to attract some brainy types round here, i think theres a couple of others going to or at oxbridge aren't there?

AN Other's at Oxford.

I just live there (but work in Northants).

Mind if I ask what the interview was for? Job or higher education?

I'd be happy with a £5 donation, though I don't think it should be compulsory!

Good luck, joeyjojo! It is indeed impossible to tell... I think my letter came on the 15th, so you shouldn't have long to wait, though I suspect it varies between colleges.

I'll make someone a sig as a prize (not first prize obviously

)

Cheers guys. Was a uni interview. I applied to Magdalen originally (as ANOther knows) but was switched to Merton, so stayed there for 2 nights. Was fun actually, but impossible to tell how it went. Not long to wait though as ANOther says. Funny how they ruin a few thousand people's christmases with these letters.

Nothing to worry about now, which is a strange feeling

Certainly wouldn't be compulsory. I'd still donate even if i wasn't going to enter.
I was just saying with a couple of small donations and someone willing to buy prizes and pay for postage we could offer some small but meaningful prizes and makes things much more lively.

Good idea.
