I won't be able to make that .... had forgotten that meats were daytime as well as evening. i'd be pushed for evening anyhow ... must be 5 or 6 hours on a train from this part of the world

Sounds good. My next steps are to find out whether I can buy tickets on the day or not. Not so much for the going down as the coming back again.

I should be able to come, what with being a student layabout with no work to do and all. Plus I'm now more eligible than I was last year.

They're only Werthers with black magic marker lines drawn on them.

Is there a word for the opposite of an oxymoron?

Anti-oxymoron?

 

Or just plain moron?

 

 

 

 

 

We are still talking about students, aren't we?

As oxymoron is oxymoronic in itself, being a compound of the classical Greek words for sharp and dull, the antithesis would have to be moronoxy, or something like that

Appologies for my lack of attendence this year, it is my housemates birthday that weekend so I have to be busy getting drunk with him and the friends that will turn up.

 

Wanted to come, especially if Trig was to turn up, ah well.

I'm still up for things. Not too sure about Secret Satan though, I'm working until Saturday now so won't really have any time to get owt. Unless it's a pack of Wethers from the newsagent anyway :)

Okay so I've just got a letter asking me to go for an interview (for the teaching course I've applied for) on the 14th. So depending what I can do with my train tickets I might not be able to come! Boo sucks :(
