'cos I'm starting in about two weeks, having just found a house to move into.

If so, would you give us some insider style info? I'd love to pretend to be all intuitive.

I have a friend who goes there, doing English Literature and History. She quite enjoys it, but she is a total society girl wannabe. It's absolutely chock full of rah-rahs.

There's a load of Madjeski bars and Madjeski cafes on Madjeski Street that runs alongside the Madjeski River though.

Wicked, cheers everyone.

I missed the deadline for the Halls accomodation, so I went to this meeting thing on Saturday not knowing anyone and by the end of the day I had a house to share with three guys I'd just met.

It'll be interesting if nothing else.

There is/was a member of VR. that lives in Reading. That Thing.
Now is that salary pre or post tax?

You will find out, G, you will find out.

To be honest though, Lancaster isn't amazing on the going out front...

but in Reading, the busses are cool. You'll see.

I go to uni there, in my second year.
Where is your house?
I've just got one in Norris Road...
The night life is pretty good, there's loads of clubs and bars in the town centre, and the shopping centre, the Oracle, is awesome.

What are you gonna study?

It's a three no, wait some students are coming, get rid of the lounge and say it's four bedroom place on St Edward's road. I know the area a little bit from going to the festival back in '07.

It took me a good two minutes to realise you weren't talking metaphorically there.

That's a mega coincidence, innit? Yeah, you'll have to come over for a cup of tea or something at some point. By law.

Cup of tea? You mean a pint of Strongbow, surely? :p

Are you 'attatched' to a hall?

I heard something about Whiteknights but we never got round to signing anything or putting ourselves forwards, so I don't know.

Strongbow? I spose. Time to embrace all sorts of student-y cliches now. With all of my prejudices formed by the Young Ones I'm looking forward to finding a purple dredlocked girl named Sunflarer to discuss the merits of Greer's vs Rosenberg's feminism with. Can I keep washing?


 
 
Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.
Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc: Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
