I was actually 12 when I got obsessed with Queen.

You're still a ****

Get at least one of these or similar a month.

The most elaborate one I’ve seen was when a friend had his iPhone snatched from him in Vietnam. I used my number to call the phone later on (I don’t even know what I would say if he picked up tbh). Hours later I get the attached. The link leads to a legit Apple looking webpage where you are required to key in your passcode to login and claim the iPhone. Wonder how many people they’ve tricked with this..

Brought in some leftover roast for lunch at work today. Was really looking forward to it, then as I sit down to eat it I realise I've only brought in the leftover vegetables, no meat at all. Gutted.

I've got mid term exams Wednesday, Thursday and Monday.. which coincides with the first test in Rawalpindi, which is only an hour and a half from me. There exists a god and he hates me.

I've got a math exam I really need to do well on Monday. Do I go to Day 3 on Friday? I've literally waited a decade for this.

Ah! That sucks... Fortunately for me, the '99 WC was right in between my Class X and XII Board Exams.

^^ I've probably given away my exact age with that post now.

 

[trundler]

Yeah, that fits in exactly with my previous estimations.

**** it I'll go

depends on how many times you failed your board exams

Good to see you weren’t supporting A VIOLENT, MURDEROUS INDUSTRY THEN!

Any tips for a last minute 10 minute presentation in front of the entire Physics department?

 

[Burgey]

I wouldn't try humour with that audience.

Ugh this norovirus was hell on the train home yesterday, was considering just getting off at a random station to have a spew

As scammy emails go, that's well and truly up there with the worst.

(But seriously: remember kids, if its the Inland Revenue, why would they call it GBP? What other currency would they be using. Its the one thing all the scammers **** up)

Well, surely I'm not the only one who misread lovemoney.....

In our department, there are more Physics professors than students...so I might start with that just to gauge their reactions.

be a fun-filled room.

Physics has pretty much all been done now, hasn't it? Even the great @CosmicPinot has moved into wine growing instead. Wouldn't you want to branch out into something else?

No, not really. Optics I think has been done. The other fields are still alive. Astrophysics and cosmology still in the news, always new stuff to discover.

Always be wary of people whose intellectual strength lays in mathematics. 2+2 = 4,whether it takes you.01 of a second to get the answer, or a minute and a half. There's no nuance to it at all. it's thintellgence. Just the application of formulae to a given set of circumstances. Really - zzzzzzzzzzz.

More energy needs to be put into other fields of endeavour imho.

 

[zorax]

oh God, Burgey has no clue about what Science PhDs do does he?

Unlike Law then.


Besides the art of maths is making 2+2= either 3 or 5. That's when a career in accountancy/tax beckons

No one asked you mate. We were having a perfectly nice conversation in here and you come along and decide to be your usual ****ish self.
